Problems when suspending / hibernating

Hello, I have arch linux in its latest version with gnome. When the computer is suspended, the screen turns off and everything stops working (wifi is disconnected and bluetooth too) but the ignition light keeps on (it should flash) and the fans continue to work, the only solution is to turn it off by pressing the power button . This has happened to me also in Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 (about 2 or 3 years ago I had Ubuntu 16 and I do not remember having the problem) I do not remember if I tried to suspend in some distribution with kde (I do not like much kde) I am using a lenovo ideapad 500 AMD A10. I would appreciate your help, I love Linux but if I can not solve the problem I will have to switch to Windows (I do not like it very much either). Thank you!

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244579

tl;dr: ensure your graphics card is using the amdgpu kernel driver.

if I can not solve the problem I will have to switch to Windows

Nobody here cares which operating system you use.

Re: Problems when suspending / hibernating

Try to set this configuration in /etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandlePowerKey=poweroff
HandleSuspendKey=suspend
HandleHibernateKey=suspend
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend

Don't forget to reboot
