Restart after sleep

Hi
I used manjaro for a few years on gnome and the sleep function worked well. Recently I install kde and now my PC restarts every day after sleep. Not always, but about once a day. A few sleeps can go ok, I resume where I left off, but then on the next one the PC just restarts.
Do you know where to look for a problem? How to debug it?

Is it a mobile computer (laptop, notebook)?

Go to system settings within Desktop session (/usr/bin/systemsettings) > system > click power management

There you’ll find several suspend session options.

Also, check the Activities settings for the current Activity, even if you only have one. It too contains settings regarding sleep, et al.

This is a miniPc with
Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.18.8-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 Ă— AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (54,6 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics
Manufacturer: Micro Computer (HK) Tech Limited
Product Name: Venus series

I have only Default activity in settings, it has “Automatically shutting down or sleeping” on. Didn’t touch these settings.

I looked at power management settings but I don’t see anything that seems off. Mostly these are default settings

Hmm - one could speculate if that sleep is hibernate and thus the swap space required is not enough, thereby triggering a restart instead.

 # cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

That’s not enough info, please provide

$ inxi -zv8

I don’t have swap at all and I don’t want it. 64GB is enough for most of the tasks

Output of inxi -zv8

How are you hibernating without swap? Or do you mean suspend to RAM? In second case, maybe RAM is full when you set the PC to sleep.

Your /home is already packed, it would be recommendable to free some space.

I believe I suspend to RAM, I click “Sleep” button in start menu. Yes, the SSD is almost full now but it was the same when I had 200GB free. The RAM should be enough when I do the sleep. I didn’t pay attention to it though but at the same time if I suspend to RAM, then I presume there no much pressure for RAM anyway since all the data that is already there stay there and maybe there is a few more MBs of additional data to support resumption, some tech data but it shouldn’t be GBs, and I definitely have enough free GBs. Also when I was in gnome, I sometimes suspended the PC when more than 95% of RAM was used and it still worked without problems.
The problem correlates with my move to KDE. Maybe something didn’t install correctly or maybe KDE has some background services that interfere with the normal sleep or resume functions.

Most likely not related to the problem at hand - I’ll mention it anyway:

Are you aware that ext4 reserves 5% of the space for root?
This does not really make sense for the /home partition - and it amounts to ~50 GB of usable storage space “wasted”.

sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/The_Home_Partition

Similar for / - but there I’d indeed leave some room to make sure root can always write if need be:
sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/The_Root_Partition

I didn’t know about it, thanks for sharing :+1:

The issue has disappeared after updating to the latest kernel and the latest versions of the rest of the packages
