Hello Riley Davies,

have you tried the methods shown here -

https://askubuntu.com/questions/772152/l...rnel-4-4-8

https://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-close-lid-suspend/

Sadly, I have found no success with those links
Btw I think that I should have mentioned that I used to have ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on the same laptop before I switched to Linux Lite. On both versions of ubuntu the suspend worked upon shutting the laptop lid and showed the password prompt upon opening it.

I will look around and see if I can locate any other methods used for this.
Linux Lite is based on Ubuntu so there should be a solution.
