Laptop wont suspend

Hello,

I'm having troubles suspending my laptop. I can't seem to track down what is causing it, does anyone have any ideas? When it fails, it says to check the syslog w/ journalctl -xe, but there's nothing there. Here's what I've tried so far:

[nick@U46E ~]$ sudo systemctl suspend
[sudo] password for nick: 
A dependency job for suspend.target failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.
[nick@U46E ~]$ systemctl status systemd-suspend.service                                                                                                      
● systemd-suspend.service - Suspend
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

Re: Laptop wont suspend

What kind of Laptop are you using? In my case f.e. I had alot of trouble until I got my UEFI Laptop (Lenovo S205) to hibernate successfully. There are alot of issues regarding hibernate, suspend etc. when it comes to UEFI hardware. Therefor it would be nice to know what we are dealing with here.

Best regards

Re: Laptop wont suspend

It's an Asus U46E, no UEFI. I suspect that it's actually something with one of the 3.19-X kernel's, but I haven't had a chance to try booting an LTS kernel to verify. Suspend has worked flawlessly in the past, but about a week ago it stopped working.

I guess I was kind of hoping that someone had some other ideas as far as why systemd wasn't logging anything (which would give me clues to go off of) when the suspend fails. As it is right now, i'm kind of in the dark as I have no further information to pursue
