Keyboard shortcuts not working after hybrid sleep

Hi all,

Running Manjaro XFCE on my old ASUS laptop. Once I am booted into Manjaro it runs very nicely.

However, after either:

  • I would guess about 10minutes+ of inactivity, or

  • Putting the laptop into Hybrid Sleep mode, and then logging back in,

the computer seems to be working harder (the fan speed increases, and looking at htop shows that one core is working at around 100%) and also my keyboard application shortcuts (Ctrl + Alt + T, Ctrl + Alt + X, …etc…) and keyboard volume controls (both on USB KB and the laptop KB itself) don’t work or take awhile before they randomly start working again.

Also returning from the sleep state, usually whatever applications I had open would become unresponsive, so I close them and re-open them and they run fine.

Anything I can look into to try to remedy this?

I’m a pretty basic user but am learning much as I go with Linux. Thanks!!

When it happens, please do the following:

journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend entry"
journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend exit"

then have a look at the begin and end time and post the output of:

journalctl --system --boot=0 --since "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" --until "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"

where obviously --since is the datetime of suspend entry and --until is the datetime of suspension exit.

Thanks for your reply @Fabby.

So I put my laptop into hybrid sleep, and then turned it back on. It did the same as usual (unresponsive programs, keyboard shortcuts not working, …etc…)

I did those first two journalctl commands, and then I entered the third one, and it returned this:
Failed to parse timestamp: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Please read this again:

Ah right okay, so those I input myself?

When I do these commands

nothing returns in terminal, it just goes to the next line where I can enter the next command.
I’m guessing an output of these commands would be used in that third command?

Apologies for my questions, again, basic user haha.

Cheers.

Sorry for being unclear, but every word is important:

So just to be clear:

journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend entry"

does not show anything after you come out of hybrid sleep???

If that’s indeed the case:

  • How do you invoke hybrid sleep?

:thinking:

No problems!

Yes that’s correct.

For hybrid sleep I:

  • Click the Whisker menu
  • Click the green Log Out button
  • Click the purple Hybrid Sleep button
  • The screen goes black for about 20secs, then turns off, I assume into hybrid sleep mode?

Thanks

I’m on KDE so XFCE might be different… :thinking:

Please:

  • Reboot

  • Hybrid sleep

  • Execute:

    journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "sleep"
    
  • Report back

:thinking:

Rebooted, hybrid sleep, then logged back in.

Please post the output of:

P.S. You’ve already helped me make my requests more clear… Next time when someone has this kind of problem, I’ll ask:

When it happens, please do the following:

journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend entry"
journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend exit"

If that gives no output, try:

journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "Suspending system"
journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "System resumed"

then have a look at the begin and end time and post the output of:

journalctl --system --boot=0 --since "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" --until "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"

where obviously --since is the datetime of the suspension start and --until is the datetime of suspension end.

That’s because you rebooted in the meantime. You should have taken boot=-1 instead of boot=0 in that particular case.

That doesn’t give any useful information…

So back to where we started:

  • reboot

  • Go to hybrid sleep

  • Execute:

    journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend entry"
    journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "suspend exit"
    
  • If that gives no output, try:

    journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "Suspending system"
    journalctl --system --boot=0 | grep "System resumed"
    
  • then have a look at the begin and end time and post the output of:

    journalctl --system --boot=0 --since "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" --until "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
    

    where obviously --since is the datetime of the suspension start and --until is the datetime of suspension end.

:+1:

Rebooted, hybrid sleep, logged back in, and then

Weird… You do have swap turned on, right? If you don’t know: swapon --verbose should give something line this:

NAME      TYPE      SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda7 partition  20G 968K   -2

And in your output I’m still not seeing these text entries in your log files:

Suspending system
System resumed

so if it’s not the swap file being off, the only thing I can think off is the swap partition being too small: The minimum should be RAM+SQRT(RAM), so 8+2.8 = 11GB.

So if you have 11G available somewhere, deactivate the swap partition and create a swap file (just to test).

:thinking:

NAME      TYPE      SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/sda3 partition 8.8G   0B   -2

Sorry for my ignorance @Fabby, any advice on where I could find to go through this process?
I’m just looking through the Swap page on the Manjaro wiki.
