Trouble with suspend

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night o/

I installed arch on a laptop a few weeks ago and everything's been going well, except for one small issue. Whenever my system goes into it's "suspend" sleep state, it does not come back, no display, no nothing, no matter what. I am forced to kill the system through holding the power button.

Now as much as a cool novelty it is to type shutdown now into my terminal, there are cases where I want to hold on to whatever it is I'm doing, so I've been trying to diagnose the issue.

My system specifications are as follows:

ASUS VivoBook X515EA with an intel i5-1135G7 and intel iRIS Xe (TGL GT2) graphics
Linux 6.0.2-arch1-1
GNOME 42.4 with Wayland

after the system fails to come back from suspend and I am forced to kill the system, journalctl for that boot end with this:

systemd[1]: Reached target Sleep.
systemd[1]: Starting System Suspend...
systemd-sleep[5549]: Entering sleep state 'suspend'...

it does seem odd that "Reached target Sleep" comes before the sleep actually starts, but idk

A few things that I've noticed:

The power light blinks regularly while the system is suspended
If I start the suspend in a terminal outside of gnome, the screen does turn on and display whatever it did when the suspend is initiated, but is unresponsive

It seems some others have had similar issues, but none of their solutions have worked for me:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234676 -- lsmod | grep nvidia returns nothing.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … ibernation -- results are the same on power and off power

It would be great to be able to put my system to sleep temporarily rather than having to fully shut down the whole system.

Thanks in advance!

Does your system have IRST enabled? (Intel Rapid Start Technology)

Solved! Thank you

This whole time I thought it was something to do with arch (probably because things worked just fine in windows and ubuntu), but just a single setting in the UEFI fixed it.

I hope you enjoy your Vivobook as much as I enjoy mine. It is the most solid laptop for Linux I have ever owned.

Arch Linux
