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!!
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
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.

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).
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.
