Computer doesnot sleep!

Hello Everyone.
When I press the sleep button my laptop (aspire 7736Z), my laptop doesnot sleep but it only is getting locked.

I am searching for a bash command to be able to see why my laptop is not sleeping but I didnt found anything appropriate.

Could you please help me?

Best Regards
Alex.

This is an old post, so before answering, do you still have this problem?

In any case, hints: the commands are s2ram, pm-suspend, pm-hibernate… I suggest you disable the
splash display in /etc/suspend.conf first. There are helpfull pages about this in the wiki, search
for them (sorry, can’t post links at this moment). Then there are logs in /var/log/pm-something, you
should see the reason for failure there.
