How to suspend with a keyboard shortcut?
I would like to suspend my xubuntu (14.04) system from a keyboard shortcut without entering my superuser password (sudo). I'm looking a command line which I can convert to a shortcut.
So far, I tried two solutions:
Xfce command:
xfce4-session-logout --suspend
Problem: The system doesn't lock the session. I don't need to enter my password for the wake-up and I want to do it.
Dbus:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
Problem: After wake-up, the Internet connection is down and I have to reboot the system to get it back.
Is there a third solution which 1. ask the password during the wake-up process, and 2. doesn't mess up with Internet connection?
In fact, the graphical default shortcut (from the menu) works fine. I just don't know which command line is called.

I wrote a script. It seems to do what you ask for:
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
# Custom suspend
#
# (That 'zsh' up there can be switched to 'bash', or
# pretty much any shell - this doesn't do anything too fancy.)
#
# Dependencies are mostly xfce stuff:
#
# xbacklight
# xflock4
# xfce4-session-logout
# Set how dim we want the screen to go (percentage, out of 100)
dim=5
# Pack up your toys
previous_dimness=$(xbacklight -get)
# Turn down the lights
xbacklight -set $dim
# Lock the door (this requires a password to get back in)
xflock4
# And go to sleep
xfce4-session-logout --suspend
# When we wake up, turn the lights back on
xbacklight -set $previous_dimness

You can technically put the script anywhere. I have a bin/ directory under my home directory just for personal scripts like this that I want to use. In this case, the path to the script is: /home/<username>/bin/custom-suspend You'll want to make sure the script is executable. One way to do that is to run the following command: $ chmod +x /home/<username>/bin/custom-suspend To give it a shortcut under LXDE (which Lubuntu) uses, you should be able to search for something like 'keyboard' from the start menu, which should show you the keyboard config app.

You can very simply send the command for it to lock screen first, and then have it suspend:
xscreensaver-command -lock ; xfce4-session-logout --suspend
For usage of xscreensaver-command, run xscreensaver-command --help

That works from command line (although the lock screen is unnecessary since that's automatic with suspend), but not as a keyboard application shortcut (at least with Ubuntu 12.04). By the way, the Xfce app for locking the screen is xflock4 (no args), which by default is bound to control-alt-delete.

This command works for me:
I just make a launcher for desktop and set the Shutdown Icon for that. put this command in command filed:
dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
fist time ask me to make Executable and after that working very well.
I'm using wicd for Internet connection and It's working well too after waking up!

If you're on a laptop and just want a key to press. You can use the power button.
The behavior can be set from the Power settings:
- Open Settings Manager (or by command : xfce4-settings-manager )
- Open Power Manager settings
- In General : set When power button is pressed to Ask
- Close Power Manager settings
If you have ACPI scripts installed, deactivate or update the
power-button script from
/etc/acpi/events/, and change the action field to /bin/true:
# EXAMPLE
event=button/power.*
#action=/usr/lib/acpid/power_button
action=/bin/true

Oddly enough xfce4-session-logout --suspend works just fine, and my system is xubuntu 14.04.
It also does lock the session, although I have switched on the option "lock screen before sleep", go to Settings->Session and Startup-> Advanced, and check if it switched on there.

That works from command line (although the lock screen is unnecessary since that's automatic with suspend), but not as a keyboard application shortcut (at least with Ubuntu 12.04).

well, it is supposed to work in xubuntu, not ubuntu. I am not sure why do you even have thexfce4-session-logoutcommand.

We are talking Xfce, which can be added to any ubuntu distribution. Xubuntu is simply a convenience distro that happens to have added Xfce packages and configured them as a desktop. You can start with ubuntu and add/configure it yourself. The xubuntu/ubuntu distinction is a red herring here.

If you're on a laptop and just want a key to press. You can use the power button.
The behavior can be set from the Power settings:
- Open Settings Manager (or by command : xfce4-settings-manager )
- Open Power Manager settings
- In General : set When power button is pressed to Ask
- Close Power Manager settings
If you have ACPI scripts installed, deactivate or update the
power-button script from
/etc/acpi/events/, and change the action field to /bin/true:
# EXAMPLE
event=button/power.*
#action=/usr/lib/acpid/power_button
action=/bin/true
