Suspend in pinebook pro sway edition status?

ARM
1

Hi there,

I’m using latest sway edition in my pinebook pro and configured it to s2idle (with the default u-boot already updated as well, not uboot-bsp)… it seems to work fine as when I open the lid it asks my user password and it drops me into my desktop… but I cannot do anything else…

If I suspend it with an open terminal, I can type commands, but when I press enter to confirm the command, nothing happens… it ‘hangs’… even sudo reboot timesout and I need to forcefully power off by pressing the power button for a few seconds (while praying the journal gods to keep my filesystem healthy).

Anyone else has seen this behaviour?

Thanks!

Sorry, I haven’t been able to figure this out yet. I’ve upgraded my Pinebook Pro with a m2ssd and after that suspend no longer works for me. So usually I shut it down and boot it up afresh later. As this only takes 30secs or so it isn’t actually a dealbreaker for me right now… but getting suspend working in the long run is something I’m looking forward to.

Hi, how did you make suspend working before you apgradeded an m2ssd?
I am only using the internal disk and suspend doesn’t work for me…

@pato , I think sleep or suspend was working with BSP u-boot on the PBP. I have some very vague memories about s2idle.
I’m disabling hibernation/ sleep on any machine I can most of the time. I can’t be of more help unfortunately.

It’s called suspend 3 in dmesg, s3 or s2ram in lit
About 7%/d,.,.,.,3 things
bsp-uboot, right kernel, no nvme, pcie driver is not yet

Thanks for your replies!
uboot-pinebookpro-bsp 1.5-7 is installed on my PBP, and also linux 5.0.1-3 together with linux-api-headers 5.8-1 and I don’t use nvme.
@wdt is it supposed to work like this?

kernel has to be at least 5.6 , late or 5.7 or 5.8, 5.9 not working
in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf, SuspendState=mem

Upping this thread. I still have issues resuming the pinebook pro. I’ve installed a fresh build yesterday in the eMMC, flashed the mainline uboot just in case:

sudo dd if=/boot/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=64 conv=notrunc,fsync
sudo dd if=/boot/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=16384 conv=notrunc,fsync

Suspending the laptop with systemctl suspend works, but when trying to resume it, it just hangs… I cannot type anything, it doesn’t get any IP so I cannot debug it via ssh… it is curious tho that the mouse works…

I didn’t changed anything in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf is that still needed?

Thanks.

Good question… as I’m still running from an SSD I’ve no clue about the current suspend status in the kernel or u-boot…
