Bug ID: 502972
Summary: Expose HibernateDelaySec in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
in KDE Power Management settings UI
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_powerdevil
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mkleins...@gmail.com
CC: k...@privat.broulik.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
There is no UI option to configure the hibernate timeout after suspend
(suspend-then-hibernate behavior) in Power Management settings.
When selecting "Standby then Hibernate" in power profiles, there is currently
no UI option to control the time delay before hibernation starts. This delay is
controlled via HibernateDelaySec in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf. Since the initial
suspend timeout is already configurable in the UI, the hibernate delay should
be too — for consistency and usability.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open System Settings → Power Management
Set "When inactive" to Sleep
Set "When sleeping, enter:" to Standby then hibernate
Look for an option to set the delay before hibernation begins while the
device is suspended
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no option in the UI to configure the timeout for when the system
transitions from suspend to hibernate. This timeout (typically
HibernateDelaySec in logind.conf) must be manually edited via configuration
files.
EXPECTED RESULT
A UI option should be available to configure the delay before transitioning
from suspend to hibernate, making the feature more accessible to users and
consistent with the rest of the power management settings.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: N/A
macOS: N/A
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 25.10
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0
Qt Version: 6.8.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This setting exists at the system level (/etc/systemd/logind.conf →
HibernateDelaySec), but is not configurable from the GUI, which may confuse
users expecting full control from the Power Management UI. Including this would
improve UX and feature discoverability.
