Problems with laptop waking from suspend

Hello everyone,

I’m having problems with my laptop waking up after suspending it.
Very works sometimes, especially shortly after boot, but most of the time the screen either stays black, it lets me enter my password but goes black right after or there is some visual glitch and I can only see my mouse moving on screen. I know my keyboard works fine too because I can change the backlight.
The bug doesn’t occur when I close the lid in the BIOS menu, so it can’t just be a purely hardware thing.
It happens both when I close the lid and when I manually suspend in the top-right menu (Gnome).
I know this is a well know issue for Ryzen CPUs, but none of the solutions I found on the forums seem to help.

These include:

  • Disabling C6 state using Zenstates
  • Adding the iommu=soft, idle=nomwait, amdgpu.noretry=0, processor.max_cstates=1, pci=noapci and acpi=off kernel args in the grub config
  • Changing BIOS settings
  • Trying kernels 5.10, 5.12, 5.13 and 5.14
  • Trying different swap sizes (no swap, 0.5 and 12 GB)

Here’s my obligatory inxi dump:

Any thoughts on what more I could try?

I feel your pain.

I was having sleep/resume issues as well for several months (Ryzen 5 4600U). All I can say is that for me it works 95% of the time since 5.13.3 or such. Also 5.10 seems to work after 5.10.30, but might require a patched ACPI table (see e.g. Lenovo IdeaPad 5 14are05 - ArchWiki ).
There still seems to be some issue for me where it locks up on a black screen sometimes when going to sleep, which might be connected to plugging in/out the power cable. But that happens relatively rarely.
5.12 never worked correctly for me.

I fixed it! (sort of)

I uncommented and changed the following lines in /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

HandleSuspendKey=ignore
HandleHibernateKey=ignore
HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Then ran: sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind.service and finally restarted.

So, now my laptop doesn’t suspend when I close the lid. I still can’t manually suspend, but this works fine as a workaround.

I found this solution on YT and it turned out that the ISO’s live OS uses these same settings, which explains why closing the lid works fine there.
