Laptop does not resume from hibernation on Kernels newer than 5.10

Support
1

Hello, I’m using Acer Aspire 3 with Manjaro KDE Plasma. While on any kernel newer than 5.10.79-1 (which is LTS), I’m having a problem with my laptop monitor after it goes to sleep.
This problem occurs after any action that turns off monitor (sleep, hibernate…) and the only solution is to hold power off button to force a shutdown.
As I have said, everything seems to be working fine if I switch to 5.10.79-1
I am not a Manjaro expert, I’ve only started using it like two months ago and I’ve had this problem on a fresh install which came with Kernel 5.14.18-1. The only solution I’ve found was to downgrade.

Is there a possible solution or should I just wait for the next Kernel version and hope that it gets fixed?

This is my neofetch result:

Please post a proper inxi output. The information provided does not give enough information. Do you have a swap file or swap partition??? Please read:

To answer your question, I have a swap file.

If you need more information, please give me more instructions.

I don’t use sleep or hibernation and I am not a KDE user either. You have a swap file so that should not be the problem with sleep/hibernation. I would go over your Power settings carefully just to be sure it is not a configuration issue. Also, I would edit the the query to better describe the issue; something along the lines of " laptop does not resume from hibernation on Kernels newer than 5.10".

Take a look here with attention to the Troubleshooting and " Configure the initramfs" sections:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate#Configure_the_initramfs

I did not want to presume that the issue is laptop related, but maybe I should change the title.

Interestingly, the resume option was missing from the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf however, after putting the option in, and this is how it looks now, by the way:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap consolefont filesystems resume fsck"

and after running the

mkinitcpio -P

command, the laptop still doesn’t resume after the monitor turns off.

Did you update grub after

sudo mkinitcpio -P ?

sudo update-grub

hmmm:

I have not. However, after I did it, I still get the same behavior. Interestingly enough, I now get these errors while manjaro boots:

mount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars: unknown filesystem type 'efivarsfs'
ERROR: resume: no device specified for hibernation

Don’t know if these two lines are related, but the 2nd line looks like it has something to do with the resume option in the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

I can still boot in the system fine, I just still get the same behavior on the newer kernels though.

Also, about the thread you’ve sent me, I’ve gathered that there was a change in kernel that removed amdgpu_amdkfd_resume_iommu() function, I just don’t know what to do about that.

Should I opet the issue in gitlab somewhere to point out the issue I have? It’s weird that this happendes only on later versions of kernel…

UPDATE: The first line

mount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars: unknown filesystem type 'efivarsfs'

appears only in the newer kernel. Also, while booted in the newer Kernel, rebooting also does not work anymore (the screen goes dark and nothing happens - I have to hold power to force a shutdown)

In 5.10 everything works fine. Only

ERROR: resume: no device specified for hibernation

shows up.
