How to wake from sleep?

There’s a lot of posts that talk about issues concerning how sleep works and the files involved. But none of them actually say how to wake up your computer from sleep. The reason I’m asking this is because on multiple computers across many different distros over the years, I have never been able to get my computer to wake back up successfully from sleep. I always have to hard reset. One might conclude that I’m simply not doing it properly, so that’s why I’m asking. How do you wake your computer from sleep?

If by sleep you mean standby/suspend, then I simply move my mouse or type on the keyboard. And the computer wakes up. (S3 Mode)

If you mean hibernation, then the power button is pressed because the system shuts down completely after it saves the current state on the disk. (S4 Mode)

In both cases the computer sleeps. What is it?

It’s standby, using the “deep” option, not s2idle.

[********@Toshiba ~]$ cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
s2idle [deep]

Like I said, this has never worked properly of any Linux computer I’ve ever used. It’s more of an inconvenience than anything, but I would like to figure it out, if possible.

Well you can check the journal:

journalctl --boot -1 | sed -n -r "/Starting.+Suspend/,/Finished.+Suspend/p"

There you would get a clue what happens on wake up. Probably try suspending in non-graphical environment (multi-user.target). The log is much cleaner then.

So, should I kill the graphical environment from a tty and then try to suspend?

You could do that, but that is saver:

systemctl set-default multi-user.target
systemctl reboot

Now you get the text-login. Login there and try:

systemctl suspend

wake it up… keyboard or just power button. Then:

systemctl set-default graphical.target
systemctl reboot

Now you can take a look at the journal with:

journalctl --boot -1 | sed -n -r "/Starting.+Suspend/,/Finished.+Suspend/p"

Alright, well it didn’t wake up without issues. None of the keys would wake it up, so I reluctantly pressed the power button like you said. Single press, no hold. The screen came on and was blank for about a minute and then it rebooted itself. After getting back to graphical and entering…

journalctl --boot -1 | sed -n -r "/Starting.+Suspend/,/Finished.+Suspend/p"

…I found that there was no output whatsoever. Nothing. So, I’m not really sure what happened or how to proceed.

try another boot… see:

journalctl  --list-boots

Or just 0 instead of -1

I was able to find it using -2, the following is the output:

I’m not really sure what most of this means, to be honest. Your thoughts?

Well, actually it works, when I look at the log. So, linux itself is not the blocker here.

At 18:02:06 it sleeps and it wakes up at 18:02:41.

This is a problem with your BIOS/UEFI. You could say that the developers made something that doesn’t comply with open standards. It is Windows specific at the end.

Probably use an older kernel for such a old machine: 5.4, 5.10, 5.15.

I’m not sure I understand. The BIOS is Windows specific?

Most off-the-shelf computers are indeed configured and marketed with Windows users being the target demographic; this often includes BIOS settings. I think this is all that was implied.

The suggestion is that the issue is likely related to your BIOS/UEFI implementation or configuration; neither of which Linux has any control over. It is further suggested that using:

…might be more compatible. I would likely add kernel 6.1 (LTS) to that list aswell.

Cheers.

Vendors typically choose Windows as their preinstalled OS, therefore they test Windows in combination with the BIOS. And often the devs just write lines of code just to please Windows, but not to comply with open standards, which Linux strictly follows. Therefore most Laptops are Windows specific, probably less these days, but in the past that was common practice.

And there is no way to fix the ACPI?

If you have BIOS updates you could do them.
But the machine is also rather old.

I think it’s just one of those things that I’ll just have to continue to live with, which is fine. But in using Linux for over the last decade (I started with Xubuntu 12.04 when I was still in High School, I’ve been using Manjaro for the last three), the sleep function has literally always done this to me across multiple distros and machines. So, I’ve definitely learned to live without it, but it would be nice to have. It’s just one of those things, I guess. Anyways, thank you all for your time and insight.

If it’s helpful, I found:

This BIOS seems to address: Made a change to the LID power setting., so maybe it’s related to your ongoing sleep issues. Updating to that BIOS version could potentially improve things. Obviously if BIOS is already at v6.50, it won’t help much at all.

Cheers.
