My system used to suspend to RAM after 15 minutes (as set in my KDE
desktop power settings).
I did a large update in the week and now the suspending seems to be
intermittent. Sometimes it suspends, sometimes it just goes to monitor
powersave mode.
I have two users logged in to KDE desktop sessions.
How do I troubleshoot such a thing?

While the box was on and should have suspended, I sshed into it and
ran pm-suspend.
It turns out root is able to suspend the box fine using
so I think it is a permissions issue, rather than an application
stopping suspend from working.

I’ve made some progress, but still need help?
I’ve narrowed the issue down to having two users logged into KDE
simultanously.
When I run with just one graphical login, suspending works fine, for
either user. When I run two simultanous graphical logins, when one
tries to suspend, a dialog appears on the other’s screen.
e.g., When user Toby’s desktop is idle for 1 minute, the screen blanks,
but the computer does not suspend. Instead, a dialog appears on user B’s
desktop saying:
“Authentication is required to suspendo the system”
This is a PolicyKit dialog, the text comes from
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy
which reads as follows: http://pastebin.com/eVPZUNzZ
However, if Toby opens a Konsole window and runs
sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
then the system does suspend. This makes me think it’s a KDE issue?
N.b.:
I’ve been setting power settings using KDE’s “Power Profiles” control
module.
I adjusted org.freedesktop.upower.policy to “Allow” using KDE’s “Actions
Policy” control module.

Well, that makes sense.

The administrator can force the issue. Kde is more or less doing the
correct thing.

On the advice of the KDE System Settings and Device Actions KCM maintainer
I’ve filed a bug:
