Everything used to work great! I really don’t want my laptop to shut down when I close the lid, and leaving it plugged in all the time ruins the battery and defeats the purpose of “laptop.”
Here is what I know:
- Before the update, the system worked as expected (i.e., suspended without shutting down) regardless of whether it was plugged in or on battery power.
- Currently, when plugged in, the behavior is normal (as expected and as previously configured).
- Unexpected behavior can be triggered consistently when the laptop is on battery power with any suspend action (e.g., close laptop lid or issue ‘systemctl suspend’ on the command line).
- I have not intentionally (manually) altered any configuration files.
Here is what I think:
- This appears not to be a kernel-specific issue, as I have tried several kernels and still experience the same behavior, although it could be a kernel module issue.
- The update could have made a change to something in /sys/power or /etc/systemd
- I do not believe my problem is the same as the battery drain issue reported by some, although it may be related.
Here’s what I have:
- Dell XPS 15
