Then make sure your it says "Active=yes"

I think it should be noted that this issue has been brought up numerous times, and any quick search in the forums would probably have yeilded this answer.

I should have provide more information in my original post concerning what I have tried so far. I tried running as root an it won't suspend there either. I also checked to see if my session was active and it is.

Hello,

Whenever I try to suspend my system using the systemd command 'systemctl suspend', it will not suspend and returns the following messages:

Failed to issue method call: Operation not supported. Failed to issue method call: Access denied.

Any idea what could be causing this to happen?

Thanks,

Randy

This is caused by a broken session, which is covered well in the wiki.[1]

It appears that my problem was caused by the 'ACPI suspend type' not being set correctly in the bios. I just recently reinstalled Arch to my system and in the process of doing so my bios CMOS was cleared. When this happened it dumped the setting for the suspend type to SI (POS). After changing this setting to S3(STR) I am now able to suspend. Thanks for the suggestions. Randy
