Suspend issue - Power light does not pulse when sleeping

Support
1

My system is up to date, but when I put the laptop to sleep the Power light / indictator that should pulse when the system is sleeping remains on. My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro (11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz).
For information, I have also changed to the LTS Recommended kernel 6.6.3.1.
How can I resolve this issue please? Many thanks.

Check if kernel 6.1 is better for your system.

Check if a newer firmware is available and see the Arch wiki if there is known issues with your system.

Thank you. I tried kernel 6.1.64-1, and looked at the ArchWiki for Lenovo to no avail. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you.

I have no idea :grin: Why is it an issue?

Rather cosmetic I you ask me and not something one cannot live with.

I am happy to live with the issue if I am sure the system is sleeping when I ask it to. Is there a way of checking this?

Thank you. I can Suspend the system from running systemctl suspend however, the power light remains on, and does not pulse as it would normally when sleeping. systemctl is-system-running reports running.

Using a 5.15 kernel solved the issue here on a Lenovo Ideapad 14ITL05.
All 6.xx kernels have the problem.

Thank you so much. Installing kernel 5.15 fixed the issue for me, and the power light now pulses when the system is suspended.
