I am using fedora22(newbie). I want my laptop to enter into sleep mode(suspend) after 5 minutes of inactivity.

I tried 2 options:

I edited the '/etc/systemd/logind.conf' file by adding,
```
     IdleAction=suspend
     IdleActionSec=5min
```
but it didn't work as i expected. My laptop automatically went into suspend mode for every 5 minutes even when i was using it. But i want it to suspend only if there is no mouse,keyboard and network activity.
Then i tried power from settings and it has automatic suspend but the minimum time is 15 minutes and upto 2 hours. I want 3 to 5 minutes option.

Can anyone help me, please?

Set the 15 minute time out in GNOME Settings where you’ve already found it. After that you can customize the timeout value with these commands:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 600
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 300

The time outs are specified in seconds; in the above example the laptop should timeout after five minutes while on battery power or ten minutes while plugged in.

You can dnf install dconf-editor to get a — albeit hard to use — GUI to make the changes and explore gsettings.
