Sleep Command Not Working [Resolved]

[h0ke]

• The issue...
  • When I attempt to use the sleep functionality through Alfred, it dims the screen and the OSX chime sounds starts stuttering, the screen comes back on and the stuttering sound continues until I hit ESC. Selecting sleep through the OSX UI still works.
• What you were doing when the issue happened
  • I was using my computer, per normal.
• Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action
  • I am able to duplicate it.
• Include any screenshots that might help us
  • n/a
• Include the Alfred version & build number you are using

  • Alfred 3.1.1 | Build 736, Saturday 17th September 2016

• Include your OS X version
  • 10.11.5

I join you on this bug report because the same thing happens to me but I'm using Sierra 10.12.1 - I even think that this behaviour started after I installed the update from 10.12 to 10.12.1

Same here.

 

But after a cursory investigation, I tracked the issue to Karabiner-Elements - if you have that installed, open the Karabiner-Elements app, click"Quit Karabiner-Elements", and sleep should work. Recent builds of Karabiner have fixed this issue.

 

There's an open issue in Karabiner-Elements - https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/issues/366

You're right! I was using Karabiner-Elements, updated it and this bug doesn't happen anymore. Thanks!
