2013 Macbook Air Won't Wake from Suspend

Hi, I have been a Manjaro user for years on my 2013 Macbook Air. I have done multiple installs and generally love Manjaro more than any other OS I’ve used. However through it all, I’ve always had issues with resume from sleep/suspend. I’ve tried multiple things through the years based on forum posts on this forum and others, but to no avail! Recently life has become busy and I’ve needed to go back to mac OS for that easy resume (in recent months I often had to reboot to get back to the desktop), but I miss Manjaro deeply and would like to go back. And then I realized I’d never posted the query on this forum! Does anyone else have the same computer? Have you gotten past that issue? Could someone help me solve it? I’m sure I’m missing something obvious! I’d love to get a few more years of good life out of this laptop before upgrading! Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information. [HowTo] Provide System Information
  2. Please press the three dots below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  1. You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

Thank you! Had to do a reinstall to get back to run inxi because I was on Mac OS. May have found that the mba6x-bl package on aur solved it and it was actually a backlight driver! I’m testing it out through today and will post my output if the issue isn’t actually solved!

Thanks!

It seems the driver actually did solve it! After several days it is reliably waking up! Weird, but solved!
