Running Arch with xfce. Everything is updated and am on kernal 3.9. Desktop PC, motherboard Gigabyte H61N-USB3 (latest BIOS).
I've been having an issue for a few months with resume not working properly after a suspend. I've tried all sorts of solutions, e.g.:
adding items to my kernal line (hpet=disable, acpi_osi=Linux)
installing acpi, acpid
disabling HPET in the BIOS
editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf with the resume hook instead of autodetect
installing uswsusp
None worked. Seen a lot of threads here of people having the same issue, but with me, it ALWAYS resumes fine if I suspended with pm-suspend.
If I issue pm-suspend, the computer suspends nicely. I press the power button and everything comes back on. /var/log/pm-suspend.log is always successful.
But, if I use any other method, such as sysctl suspend, or upower, or the suspend option in the Xfce menu (uses xfce4-power-manager), the resume doesn't wake any USB devices (my mouse light stays off) or the monitor (stays in blinking stanby mode). Sometimes it will resume fine, very rarely, but 90% of the time it won't. Only the PC power light will come on but that's it. Even the reset button won't restart the PC. I have to hold the power button for 4 seconds to turn it off.
I'm almost to the point of replacing the motherboard over this as it's driving me up the wall.
pm-suspend (which works great) generates a pm-suspend log. But any of the other methods generate a pm-powersave log. So those other methods must have something in common. I will post the contents later as I'm at work.
I'd like to get the other methods working because if the PC suspends after a set time (through xfce), or if I use the Xfce suspend menu option, I know it won't resume. A workaround would be to make a pm-suspend menu option and some sort of schedule for it to run after a certain idle time, but that's not an answer for the original problem.
Is there any way I can troubleshoot why systemd and other methods don't resume but pm-suspend does resume it fine?

I cleared pm-powersave.log and suspended through the xfce menu > Suspend.
Resume worked fine once.
Suspended again.
Resume worked fine second.
Suspended again, resume didn't work, PC fans on but mouse and display off.
The output of the new pm-suspend.log is here, although it's possible it can't write any errors to the log when resume fails?
