[solved/kindof]Laptop freezes when resuming from LID suspend

lpv · 2021-12-23 17:23:27

UPDATE2: Ok, so after all that, I went on to install Windows 10 and had the exact same problem with the nvidia card with discreet GPU on bios so I deducted it's a hardware problem somehow. And! I also had trouble getting the iGPU(Intel) working on windows too, as I did with arch. Anyway I thought let's give it another try on a fresh install with the Intel enabled(switchable mode on bios), see what happens, also wanted to give the new archinstall a go see what's up with that and so I chose the Intel open source driver and long story short suspend and resume seems to be working perfectly with xorg, i3 on the Intel! Now I'm having trouble getting the nvidia card to work hah! The installer also solved some more problems of mine, like I couldn't get IPv4 to work on systemd-networkd and I was using dhcpcd, and 'copy iso network configuration to install' solved that too.
So anyway I don't know where the problem lies. Will see what happens if I manage to get the nvidia card going now. If anyone can give me some direction with that it would be awesome. I know I'd have to use some kind of switcher(I'm looking into optimus-manager), after figuring out the drivers on that dual-gpu setting, and now I know both GPUs work well on their own so that's a starter.

UPDATE1: This turns out to be a hardware problem(installed Windows, has the exact same problem). I totally did not expect that, was damn sure the previous user of that laptop used that feature.
I also mentioned something in this thread about X not starting on my iGPU. That could be hardware too, not sure yet +10 points to arch. /update

I've been trying to workaround this on an old Alienware M11x R1 but I'm out of ideas.

Display software is xorg, i3.
Driver is nvidia, package: nvidia-340xx-dkms 340.108-26
lspci -v on VGA reports modules both nvidia and nouveau.
I've tried blacklisting nouveau and all and I thought I did it correctly but I don't know..

The laptop only hangs when trying to resume after it has been suspending from closing the lid. If suspended say from the terminal via systemctl suspend, it will wake up even from the lid.

I also briefly had another arch install with just nouveau and it seemed to work *from tty*, but after starting X, same result.

Whatever way I've tried intercepting the system's suspend(see below) fails because the system gets priority:
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/suspend.sh
/etc/acpi/lid.sh
/etc/systemd/system/suspend@.service

Do you think there's a way to place a systemctl suspend higher in priority than the system on lid events? But it's no big deal anyway, don't have much hope for it.

I had a similar issue a few days ago. It doesn't seem to be exactly the same as yours, but do you have powertop or tlp installed or some other power saving program running? The problem I was having seemed to have something to do with powertop or tlp preventing the system from returning from suspend.

@lpv I too have this issue sometimes. Also, other times, it wakes up automatically, https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions … eep_state/.
I tried different kernels. All have this issue.

1. I have already disabled ethernet by blacklisting its module, as I do not use it. So, it's not Wake-on-LAN

2. I have tried this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … nsistently, that is, enabling intel_lpss_pci modules

3. This as well, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … om_suspend, that is, disabling EHC1 from /proc/acpi/wakeup

4. I have look under BIOS, I couldn't find any setting regarding wakeup or sleep

I'm on Arch with SwayWM. I had never encountered this using a DE or windows, so I think it's not the hardware issue.

I had used tlp earlier. Then I uninstalled, now I have powertop and autocpu-freq. I'll test by uninstalling powertop as well

I have not bothered with such package/utility, since battery is dead already and I've set the GPU to external for performance, forgot to mention that. Will have to check if something like has been installed through a package but I doubt it.
After your post I also went on to see how the iGPU works(Intel MHD4500 that is) but I couldn't get X to start. Will have to troubleshoot more on that. Curious if the problem will be present there too.

According to your reddit post this is a different issue. I updated the title, maybe it's a bit clearer.
edit: Oh I just saw you said you have both issues, my bad. It's just the solutions you posted refer to your other problem. Plus on mine it never works.
