Goes to back to sleep when waking up. Intel Arc A770.

Freshly installed Arch (Plasma Wayland) using arch_install yesterday. When I put the PC into sleep and wake it up, for the first wake up, the computer immediately goes back to sleep. If I wake it up again, then it wakes up.

To be honest, this also had happened on the same computer when I was using an Arch-derived distribution. It did not happen from the beginning, but after some months. I formatted the drive and installed Arch, and I am experiencing the same problem.

This does not happen with my laptop, so my guess is that it probably has something to do with the GPU, which is Intel Arc A770.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Maybe caused by something you installed? Or a setting you made? Or an update?

Check the journal, either the sleep fails tbw or there's a wakeup trigger

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

Actual wakeups are more related to the ACPI ie your motherbord/firmware/uefi

Sanity check, if there's a parallel OS (windows), see the 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.
