Just to be sure I've explained myself clearly, I'd like my fedora29 desktop (not laptop) to go to sleep (or suspend) after fifteen minutes without keyboard activity. I've tried the above commands as both the regular user and as root in a terminal window and it did not go to sleep (or suspend) after 900 seconds.
