Dear Anthony, > Its not that it won't suspend, it just does not have the option to suspend > from the login screen... > Thanks for your suggestion- I'll try it out of interest! I think I might have a solution now: The login screen that you are seeing is actually xfce4-screensaver, not lightdm as I had thought. xfce4-screensaver reads the same configuration files, so it looks just like the lightdm login screen you get at boot, but it doesn't have the capability to show a power menu in the same way. What you can do to rectify these niggles is to replace xfce4-screensaver with light-locker, which is not actively maintained at the moment but is still working and in the package repositories. sudo apt install light-locker You will now have a new page in Settings -> Power Manager that gives you options for light-locker. Hopefully, after you reboot or log in again, the lock screen will now actually *be* lightdm, courtesy of light-locker (as opposed to xfce4-screensaver's imitation of lightdm), and thus have both of the features you wanted: an option to never blank the screen (which you've already set) and a button to put the computer into suspend without having to unlock first. I really do hope this works for you!
