[SOLVED] Laptop suspends constantly for no reason

geist · 2014-08-31 18:37:56

Hello,

I just did an Arch Linux install by following the beginners guide. I got to the point,
where I have to boot for the first time into my newly installed system. Everything
seems to work fine, so I went ahead and started installing some more packages.
But then after about 3 minutes the laptop suddenly suspends. If I wake it up again
it keeps suspending again and again after 10-20 seconds. How can I find out why
the system is suspending all the time and fix this issue?

Here is the dmesg output

Maybe a suspend key or lid switch is triggered wrongly, maybe you can set the default actions to ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf like:

HandleSuspendKey=ignore
HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Hard to do within 10sec ...
Can you boot with the install CD and chroot in ?

There were some other recent threads about suddenly suspending...

Edit: wording

Hello rebootl,

many thanks, setting these two handles to ignore really was all I had to do.
And yes you're right I should have gotten that from the other quite similar
threads. I just thought the solutions there weren't applicable to my own
problem. Anyway I'm still learning and glad you helped me out here.

Regards

No problem.

This thread is a bit older, if you haven't seen it yet, maybe take a look: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178047

I was just too tired to link it yesterday.
