Dell Inspiron 14 5425 Wakes Far Too Easily From Suspend

HurricanePootis · 2023-11-10 15:59:20

Howdy y'all,

I have a Dell Inspiron 14 5425, and I have a problem with my laptop. Whenever I close my laptop for it to go to sleep, the minute I physically move my laptop, it wakes from sleep. I can hear the fans go off as the laptop wakes off, and if I had music playing whenever it went to sleep, it resumes. I tried setting HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, but that really didn't help. Furthermore, if I put my laptop to sleep with the lid open using software, it does not wake up whenever I move it around. But, as soon as the lid closes and I move the laptop, it wakes up.

Anyone know what I can do to solve this?

Kernel: 6.6.1

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

The symptoms suggest that the lid is kinda loose an hair-triggers when you move the device (or that you're yanking it around like a berserk
Ignoring the lidswitch won't help at this stage, but you could remove it from the ACPI wakeup entries. (echo'ing the 3/4 letter code into /proc/acpi/wakeup toggles the device)

I disabled everything in my wakeup file, and the laptop still wakes from sleep whenever I move it around. All I am doing is taking it from its horizontal resting position and moving it vertical, as if I were sliding it into a backpack.

I wasn't all that serious about the berserk yanking aroung thing

Can you please post the output of /proc/acpi/wakeup before and after the S3?

If we ignore the lid, the device might have an accelerometer.
Does the lid trigger if you gently manipulate it (push down on the back, at the hinges; open the lid carefully and see whether it triggers at even a very shallow angle)?

HurricanePootis · 2023-11-11 20:10:46

I don't think my laptop uses an accelerometer, because I have a /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID, and it has a state file in it that says whether or not the lid is opened or closed. Furthermore, here is the output of my /proc/acpi/wakeup that I should have posted

Device	S-state	  Status   Sysfs node
GPP0	  S4	*disabled  pci:0000:00:01.1
GPP1	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:01.2
GP17	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:08.1

The lid doesn't trigger whenever I push out back, and it doesn't trigger either at a very shallow angle. At this point, I've already opened up my laptop to tighten the screws holding my display to my body at "rest" position. I am starting to think the actual brackets of the hinge mechanism themselves are loosely connected to the display instead of being loosely connected to the body.

Here is my /proc/acpi/wakeup before and after putting my laptop to sleep and waking it up with the lid

Two of the GPPs are enabled?
What's the output of lspci?

Great, all just really GPP Bridges in no proximity to anything
Try to disable all, see whether the lid still wakes the system (by actually opening it) and what the impact on the gravity-inspired resume is.

HurricanePootis · 2023-11-11 23:24:23

Ok, after disabling all GPP Bridges in /proc/acpi/wakeup, my laptop does still wake from suspend normally whenever I open the lid. And, placing it into my bad still does wake the laptop up. Is there any way to see what is actually waking up the laptop?

Edit: I just closed my laptop and walked away from it from 5:47 to 6:13, and it seems like it resumed from suspend somehow byitself at 6:02:58 while I was away from my laptop. Here is a snippet of my journalctl

Nov 11 18:02:58 TheCloutBook kernel: Freezing remaining freezable tasks
Nov 11 18:02:58 TheCloutBook kernel: OOM killer disabled.
Nov 11 18:02:58 TheCloutBook kernel: Freezing user space processes completed (elapsed 0.002 seconds)

Nov 11 17:47:57 TheCloutBook systemd-sleep[7384]: Entering sleep state 'suspend'...

This is so weird, are there any known issues with sleeping on a AMD Ryzen 5 5625U Based System?

s2idle is a "shallow" sleep, can you select "deep" in /sys/power/mem_sleep ?
(Though w/ the specific condition, maybe somebody just stomped next to it.)

Typically /proc/acpi/wakeup would contain far more entries, such as a powerbutton, some USB and usually(?) also the LID.
Can you configure anything about the wakeup behavior in the UEFI?

HurricanePootis · 2023-11-12 23:28:01

I cannot select "deep" in /sys/power/mem_sleep. Also, I just put my laptop to sleep again without closing the lid, and it turned itself on again without my being there at the laptop. This is genuinely infuriating, and I don't know if this is an issue with linux or the hardware itself. Honestly, I'm really tempted right to now to spin up a windows partition to test that out.

Anyhow, I just went into my laptop's bios and there are no options for anything to do about the wakup behavior of my laptop.

seth · 2023-11-12 23:32:35

Honestly, I'm really tempted right to now to spin up a windows partition to test that out.

Might be a misunderstanding, but 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Otherwise you can also just try some live distro, but if physical interaction is guaranteed to wake the system the problem would seem physical as well
There's for now no recorded caveat in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Dell#Inspiron

HurricanePootis · 2023-11-12 23:38:11

I actually don't have windows installed, I was just saying that I would install it to test to see if this problem occurs on it. I do have a USB stick with ventoy, containing a fedora iso, windows iso, and an arch iso, so I will play around with them whenever I get the time.

Many Dell laptops have been produced with built-in accelerometers. They protect the drive(s) from damage in case of a fall. My 2014 Dell Inspiron had the same "problem" as yours if you want to actually term it a problem.

I learned to live with it.

seth · 2023-11-13 14:57:39

@c00ter, it wakes/woke up when you move/d it?
That's probably not very protective, notably not because the wake-up will rather get the HDD head flying.
