Suspend doesn't work

Support
1

As the title suggests, suspend to ram doesn’t work, no matter what I’ve tried.

So far, I’ve tried:

  1. Switching/Deleting Kernels
  2. Enabling Virtualization since I was getting kvm errors in journalctl
  3. Suspeing from the command line instead of the GUI

The expected behaviour when suspending the system is for it to actually sleep, then wake up on key press. Instead, the screen goes black then the case leds keep flashing on and off. However, nothing happens on key press. The computer required manual reset using the power button in order to boot normally.

Any suggestions?

journalctl --no-pager --no-hostname -b-1 -p3

Posting pastebin link, since inxi -Fazy output is being detected as a link and I can’t post it directly.

Which command you used, there are several possibilities:

systemctl hibernate
systemctl suspend
systemctl suspend-then-hibernate
systemctl hybrid-sleep

Main question, where you suspend your system?

  • to swap (usually called hibernation) – you need more swap (equal or more than RAM) and make some preparations
  • to ram (usually called suspend) – that should work, but in some cases there may be problem with black screen, which is also possible with hibernation → see this solution
  • to both – see all above

Hey there, I used systemctl suspend (to ram). Hibernation seems to work fine since the system responded as expected when I used hybrid suspend. However, when suspend kicked in, I encountered the same issue.

cat system.conf | grep RuntimeWatchdogSec
#RuntimeWatchdogSec=0

I’ll try setting amdgpu in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf modules and let you know how it plays out. To be honest, I am not really sure if it is the correct value since amdgpu is nowhere to be found in mhwd -l -d.

edit:
I got the following errors while trying to regenerate initramfs

Summary

==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-5.11-x86_64.img
bsdtar: Failed to set default locale

==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-5.4-x86_64-fallback.img

bsdtar: Failed to set default locale

edit: Managed to solve this one by manually setting my locales in locale-gen. One of the locales infound in the locale output was commented out. Editing the file appropriately, regenerating locales and running sudo mkinitcpio -P solved the bsdtar: Failed to set default locale error.

There was no change apart from my terminal changing to another language, so I am going to revert that one.

Also, tried editing /etc/systemd/sleep.conf since I found out that suspend was commented out there, but that didn’t seem to help.

It looks like, my system has no problem suspending. It just doesn’t get out of the suspend state.

edit:
Found a workaround. Editing sleep.conf “SuspendState=” to only include freeze seems to work. I was suspicious that my system was not accepting input while on suspend, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Any clue as to why SuspendState=mem is failing?
