Stuck with s2idle sleep mode and notebook not waking from sleep

Support
, ,
1

I have a notebook Dell G15 5530, which is really not a good Linux Desktop, but I’m stuck with it for a while.

I’m finding weird that S3 sleep mode is not available, because the BIOS clearly has an option to block S3 (it is disabled, should not be blocked), but dmesg shows:

$ sudo dmesg | grep -i "ACPI" | grep -i "supports"

[    0.237657] ACPI: PM: (supports S0 S4 S5)
[    0.285449] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM ClockPM Segments MSI EDR HPX-Type3]

$ cat /sys/power/mem_sleep                                                                                                                                             

[s2idle]

So, somehow I’m stuck with s2idle. Or could there be something else blocking S3 deep mode?

More importantly, when I put the computer to sleep with s2idle, it does not wake back properly. The keyboard lights turn on, but I get only a black screen. How can I check / fix what’s wrong?

It looks like it just doesn’t support s3. On linux or at all. This is more common in the last years. Pretty much every laptop from the last years does not have it. Because Microsoft wants it that way.

So i am afraid there is nothing you can do.

About not resuming, seems like some recent bug affecting some users/hardware, several topics about this were opened in the last weeks but i cannot help any further.

Yes, it seems S3 is not supported. But it is funny that the bios carries an option to disable it…

Can you point me to these other reports on bugs when resuming? I’ll search for these as well, but if you can give me a link, I appreciate.

Also, any idea which log should I check to investigate the bug? I’m reading dmesg and systemctl, but so far I don’t identify anything relevant.

5

There might be a solution here:

But I can only try it tomorrow.

Actually when i look now, the 2-3 topic i had in mind are useless. Rant, no info, another problem or abandoned.

Start by providing inxi -zv8 so that someone more competent than me on suspend matters can help.

The suggestions on the link above didn’t work, I always end up with a BSOD when I try to suspend. I didn’t find anything relevant on my logs. As a last resource, I’ll download a couple of fresh isos from different distributions and try to suspend from live sessions to see if it might be a hidden problem with my current installation. This notebook drags a lot of battery! I really need a good suspend mode working.

PS: on the bright side, it actually boots up quite quickly so I get around, but proper suspend would be better. I hope people fix this issue with f**cking microsoft soon.

Ok, I’ve fixed it. The problem was with the kernel. I was using 6.16.12-1-MANJARO, which works fine on my desktop with nvidia, but the desktop has support for S3. On the notebook, I had to go back to the LTS kernel 6.12 and now it is ok.

Nothing is perfect, so now I’ve noticed that hibernation fails. But I never use it anyway, so I will not try to fix this one for now.
