I am so confused regarding hyprlock and systemctl combination

Problem -> When doing file transfers (mtp) or running some cli commands like nixos-rebuild, when the hyprlock kicks in they are pause at that point and only resume after unlock.
One thing I am kind of noticing that it may be the systemctl suspend command that is suspending the processes. But overall I am confused with the best combination of pairing both the two programs.
Here is the config (for hypridle)
general {
before_sleep_cmd=loginctl lock-session
lock_cmd=hyprlock
}
listener {
on-timeout=suspend-script
timeout=1800
}
(The suspend script)
pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q
# Only suspend if audio isn't running
if [ $? == 1 ]; then
systemctl suspend
fi
Let me know if you have any solution. The link attached to this post is for my github hosting my nixos dotfiles, maybe that can also help.
There is no "maybe" here. With
systemctl suspendyou tell systemd to suspend the whole machine. Most of the hardware will be powered down.Maybe you should generally separate those concerns? Depends entirely on your usecase, but maybe you want your screenlock to do only that... lock the screen. Then you do not want suspend/sleep in there at all.
I guess OP could change the if statement to check if nixos-rebuild is running, not just check for music being played.
`
music_is_playing=$(pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q) # Only suspend if audio isn't running if [ $music_is_playing == 1 ] && ! pidof nixos-rebuild; then systemctl suspend fi` But I guess not using the script at all is also an option if putting the PC to sleep is a no-no.
I'm having trouble understanding the problem. If you suspect it's
suspendthen you can confirm it by checking the display. Suspend stops monitor too.
