System randomly suspends and restarts

tawkins · 2022-03-05 13:48:20

I performed a system update today and computer (Thinkpad t480s) started to randomly suspend. This issue has occurred periodically before, but after the kernel update, the suspends happen every one to two minutes. To save my sanity I masked sleep.target and suspend.target via systemctl to prevent this from happening, but ideally, I'd prefer to have proper sleep behavior. I've attached part of my jounralctl when the incident occurred.

How many parallel windows installations are there?

tawkins · 2022-03-05 14:05:53

None; only one installation of Arch is installed on my system. I'm using grub as well.

Meh, was worth a shot.
Please post a complete journal, maybe the lid is misfiring?
What if you mute the triggers in /etc/systemd/logind.conf ? (Don't forget to "systemctl restart systemd-logind")

tawkins · 2022-03-05 14:36:38

Based on the journal and muting lidswitch in logind, I think the lid is misfiring. How can I fix that?

seth · 2022-03-05 14:47:25

Start with a screwdriver?
Depending on how the lid switch is constructed and what the problem is, this can be hard to impossible to fix.

tawkins · 2022-03-05 15:19:29

How can I disable the lid switch via software? My screen still turns off when I shut it

This is what I have set, but my lid switch is still functioning

Did you restart logind? (In doubt, reboot)
That being said, the DPMS likely isn't controlled by logind, but the problem is "random" ACPI behavior, not the display powering off (let alone when closing th lid) is it?

tawkins · 2022-03-05 15:52:57

I rebooted the system, but the screen still randomly turns off and turns off when I close the lid. Journalctl is still displaying that it is because of a lid close. Can I disable sleep behavior with ACPI?

seth · 2022-03-05 19:54:45

I assume there is a massuve language barrier.
Is this about the screen turning off or the system suspending and/or sleeping?
Also, how is this "random" if it's the consequence of you closing the lid??

Please post the complete system journal after such incident, eg.

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

for the previous boot (in case of a restart) or

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

for the current boot.
