Suspend fails with "/sys/power/state: No such file or ..."

Since upgrading to kernel 5.18.7, suspend to RAM stopped working. Hibernate still works fine.

Looking in the systemd logs, I see that systemd-susped fails to write to /sys/power/state, although the file certainly exists when the system is running, and contains "freeze mem disk".

Trying

echo mem > /sys/power/state

I get the same result: the screen goes momentarily black, then wakes up again, and the console has an error "/sys/power/state: No such file or directory".

Hibernating works fine, though, both through systemd and with

echo disk > /sys/power/state

Any ideas?

[Update:] Upgrading to 5.18.8 solved the issue.

[Update:] Or maybe not. It seems to happen randomly.

[Update:] I have updated to 5.18.9, but still have the same problem, intermittently.

- Try to suspend using

systemctl suspend

and grab a journal afterwards + share it here.
- Does suspending work if you use the LTS kernel?
- Disable Bluetooth before suspending. Does it work now?
- Unplug all external devices before suspending. Does it work now?

Thanks for your answer. Upgrading to 5.18.8 solved the issue. Marking the thread as solved.

Hmmm... the issue may not have been solved, after all.

It seems that the first few times after boot suspend works fine, but then it stops working. Here's the output from systemd-suspend

Re: Suspend fails with "/sys/power/state: No such file or ..."

Would you mind booting freshly, then doing a couple of systemctl suspend's until it stops working, and finally grab a complete journal and share it?

Also consider testing the other suggestions in my previous post.

Re: Suspend fails with "/sys/power/state: No such file or ..."

I swear I'm trying, but the bug disappears when I try to reproduce it

As soon as I'm able to reproduce it consistently, I'll post the logs.

FTR, bluetooth is always disabled and I have nothing plugged in. I tried LTS, but haven't been able to reproduce the problem with it.
