Acer Aspire E13 : Suspend/Poweroff don't Work

Hi !

I just got hold of a nice new laptop, An Acer Aspire E 13 (ES1-311-C1E8) and I've been running into a couple of issues.
I've already tried Ubuntu on this device and the issues are not present.

Two Big ones really,

On Poweroff, it doesn't actually shut down, it seems to complete the shutdown process, the screen goes black, but the hard drive keeps spinning, and the power light remains on. Not entirely sure why.

The bigger issue is Suspend : On closing the lid, using the suspend button, using the power button, or using (sudo) pm-suspend, it just freezes. the /var/log/pm-suspend.log claims that the suspend succeeded but I cannot resume it from suspend (Tried every key on the keyboard, touchpad and power button)

Here's the output of lsmod :

I don't know if anyone has had similar issues, or found any way around this, or if anyone knows what the ubuntu devs have added to fix things ?

edit : Attempted using lts kernel, No improvement

Thanks in advance

Re: Acer Aspire E13 : Suspend/Poweroff don't Work

jman6495:

I had exactly the same problem with my Acer ES1-512 laptop. Tried a bunch of kernels, systemd versions, tried pm-utils, systemctl. Instantly freezed on suspend, and didn't turn off the computer neither with "systemctl poweroff", neither with "sudo poweroff".

A few days ago I've found the solution (or at least for my laptop): In the BIOS settings I had to disable the "xHCI support (external USB 3.0 controller)". Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.

Also, it's worth mentioning that I disabled UEFI in the BIOS and using legacy mode instead (installed Arch this way).

I hope this helps! smile
