From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am so confused regarding hyprlock and systemctl combination (github.com)

Problem -> When doing file transfers (mtp) or running some cli commands like nixos-rebuild, when the hyprlock kicks in they are pause at that point and only resume after unlock.

One thing I am kind of noticing that it may be the systemctl suspend command that is suspending the processes. But overall I am confused with the best combination of pairing both the two programs.

Here is the config (for hypridle)

general {
  before_sleep_cmd=loginctl lock-session
  lock_cmd=hyprlock
}

listener {
  on-timeout=suspend-script
  timeout=1800
}

(The suspend script)

      pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q
      # Only suspend if audio isn't running
      if [ $? == 1 ]; then
        systemctl suspend
      fi

Let me know if you have any solution. The link attached to this post is for my github hosting my nixos dotfiles, maybe that can also help.

There is no "maybe" here. With systemctl suspend you tell systemd to suspend the whole machine. Most of the hardware will be powered down.

Maybe you should generally separate those concerns? Depends entirely on your usecase, but maybe you want your screenlock to do only that... lock the screen. Then you do not want suspend/sleep in there at all.

I guess OP could change the if statement to check if nixos-rebuild is running, not just check for music being played.

 music_is_playing=$(pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q)

  # Only suspend if audio isn't running

  if [ $music_is_playing == 1 ] && ! pidof nixos-rebuild; then

    systemctl suspend

  fi

` But I guess not using the script at all is also an option if putting the PC to sleep is a no-no.

I'm having trouble understanding the problem. If you suspect it's suspend then you can confirm it by checking the display. Suspend stops monitor too.
