2 years ago Small update: I've been looking into the sysv error and tried update-rc.d autopoweroff enable which gave
Failed to enable unit: Unit /run/systemd/generator.late/autopoweroff.service is transient or generated.Does autopoweroff need System V to tell it to run? I might be barking up the wrong tree.
I have /etc/init.d/autopoweroff that reads:
1 #!/bin/bash

3 # Autopoweroff init script.

The closest thing to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is the following links to the above file:
/etc/rc0.d/K01autopoweroff
/etc/rc1.d/K01autopoweroff
/etc/rc2.d/S01autopoweroff
/etc/rc3.d/S01autopoweroff
/etc/rc4.d/S01autopoweroff
/etc/rc5.d/S01autopoweroff
/etc/rc6.d/K01autopoweroffAre these the runlevel symlinks mentioned in that error?
On a different note, I'd add systemctl start autopoweroff to my startup applications as a stopgap, but it asks for a password, and I haven't been able to figure out what to write (using visudo) after ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD in the file in sudoers.d.

I use autopoweroff as a failsafe to shut down my laptop to conserve battery power on the road. It hasn't been powering it off for some time, and I can't seem to figure out why.
systemctl status autopoweroff.serviceshows the following after a fresh reboot, asked both before and after idle time:I can manually do
systemctl start autopoweroff, and that seems to work, but I reboot a lot and doing that after every boot is cumbersome andsystemctl enable autopoweroffreturns:I've tried with and without gui installed.
Both
/etc/autopoweroff/autopoweroff.confand/etc/autopoweroff.confare identical to the example config, except I've made these changes in both:I am running Linux Mint MATE Uma 20.2 x86_64 Kernel: 5.4.0-91-generic, using autopoweroff 4.0.0 from the deb package.
Here's /var/log/autopoweroff.log: autopoweroff.log
Is there any information I can give to help figure out why APO isn't doing the expected behavior?
