Suspend Powers off the computer SOLVED

jo-shva · 2015-05-23 21:17:03

I am using systemd suspend. At first the computer goes into suspend but it shuts itself down(powers off) after a short time. I have no idea how to fix this or even why it is happening. Help is appreciated.

Make and model of computer might be helpful.
At least tell us if it is a tower or laptop; whether it is running on batteries; etc...

Its HP envy 17 laptop. Plugged in. I recently reinstalled Arch and on this install it doesn't work properly. But on the previous install I had no problems with it.
This is what journalctl says:

Define a 'Short time'. Also, not all HP Envy laptops are created equal.

I post this from my HP Envy 15". Intel processor, Intel graphics.
Suspend works okay for me, but I only watched it blink at me for a minute or so. Is there anything interesting in the Journal regarding the suspend?
4.0.2-1 kernel.

This is from the journal

You have enabled a user specific suspend service. I have not seen one afore.

Out of curiosity, why did you set this up? and could you share that service file with us. It is that service failing that seems to be causing the issue.

Its posted on the 'Power Management with Systemd page' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … th_systemd

/etc/systemd/system/suspend@.service

[Unit]
Description=User suspend actions
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=%I
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStartPre= -/usr/bin/pkill -u %u unison ; /usr/local/bin/music.sh stop ; /usr/bin/mysql -e 'slave stop'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sflock

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

That is an example. Do you actually have an executable shell script called music.sh in /usr/local/bin ? Unless you specifically put something there, the answer is no.
I really don't think you need to have a user specific suspend service. Unless you can come up with a good reason as to why you need it, I would disable the service.

jo-shva · 2015-05-24 00:25:12

I thought I needed it for mysql. If the normal service will handle mysql also then I will change it to the normal service file.

ewaller · 2015-05-24 00:29:05

I think it will. Give it a shot.

jo-shva · 2015-05-24 00:33:26

there is no: systemctl enable suspend.service??

circleface · 2015-05-24 01:51:29

You use

systemctl suspend

to suspend with systemd.

MrEvilBreakfast · 2015-05-24 07:11:25

To suspend on my laptop, I use

echo mem > /sys/power/state

ewaller · 2015-05-24 14:40:28

I see it is marked as solved. What was the solution?

jo-shva · 2015-05-26 20:07:29

The solution was to use Gnomes suspend and not use any systemd suspend service.

Arch Linux
