hi, welcome. i have this issue in plasma 5 and i’ve heard that others in in plasma 6 have also experienced this “disconnect” in kubuntu 22.04 there used to be a checkbox something like `[] After some time hibernate` and the time depended on your setting for `HibernateDelaySec=3h` in `/etc/systemd/sleep.conf` but now in 24.04 that checkbox is no longer present and the delay setting no long has any affect. so i have taken to writing a script and running that instead of relying on the plasma power settings to handle it. see this recent thread on the topic… > [@System hanging on suspend](https://discuss.kde.org/t/system-hanging-on-suspend/42672): > > My system appears to completely hang when entering suspend mode.
