My laptop suspend correctly once after boot but fail next

Houang-Po · 2019-01-27 08:50:48

Hello Archers,

First, I want to apology for my english 'speaking'. I'm french as you'll see in following lines..

I run archlinux + xfce on MacBook Air;
(More precisely, I installed archlinux on a usb-key from a VirtualMachine running under OS X. Understand : it's not a live-usb, it's a 'real' install. I just need to test archlinux before changing anything on my hard disc.)

From the beginning, suspending my laptop isn't working well. For more than one month I glanced through ArchWiki and Forum but nothing works.

Here is what I experience every day :

The first lid-closing-event after booting leads to suspend the laptop; like I want it to.
After waking up my laptop, no way to suspend it again, even by executing 'systemctl suspend'. A black screen appears for 1 second and then screen comes back to awake state.

It seems something doesn't come back to its initial state after waking up but what ?

Here are config files and systemd-inhibit output :

/etc/systemd/logind.conf :

So, anyone can help me ?

Hi there,

unfortunately I have no solution for you, but wanted to make you aware that there are many folks having those problems with MBP since Kernel 4.19.8: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=242664
