[SOLVED] Freezing when turning on the laptop after suspending it

RayenHadd · 2026-01-26 20:15:46

As said in the title, when I suspend the laptop, and open it back, it freezes, I can't use my mouse, I can't move to TTY, I can't do a thing, and my caps lock key led starts flickering, the only thing I can do is force shutdown the laptop, saying that here is some information about my laptop:

Host: HP ZBook Fury 17.3 inch G8 Mobile Workstation PC (SBKPFV3)
Kernel: Linux 6.12.66-1-lts
WM: KWin (Wayland)
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11850H (8) @ 4.80 GHz
GPU 1: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Mobile
GPU 2: Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.45 GHz [Integrated]
Memory: 3.87 GiB / 62.47 GiB (6%)
Swap: Disabled

I started experiencing that when i switched my graphics from discrete to hybrid ( to save battery ), not that i use nvidia open modules so here are the results of

pacman -Q | grep "nvidia"

lib32-nvidia-utils 590.48.01-1
libva-nvidia-driver 0.0.14-1
linux-firmware-nvidia 20260110-1
nvidia-open-dkms 590.48.01-2
nvidia-prime 1.0-5
nvidia-settings 590.48.01-1
nvidia-utils 590.48.01-2

I am highly suspecting the GPU is the cause, I tried to ask ai about it since its my first time using hybrid graphics in arch but didn't reach a thing, another problem that i guess its related to the GPU is that when booting to the system and after the boot, sddm doesn't work, well, it works sometimes and some others it doesn't work, but when i do

sudo systemctl restart sddm

it works fine
I am open to share some logs if that will help.

Read https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=311852 and see whether you can produce a journal when rebooting w/ sysrq+REISUB

Thanks for the suggestions, I have enabled the Sysrq + REISUB binding, and it worked with me, And firstly I logged a journal of the sddm problem, I wanted a clean journal, to see what happens, so I did:

sudo journalctl -b > journal.txt

that I will share, then I suspended the system, three times, one before enabling the REISUB bindings and this is what I have noticed:

The system doesn't freeze instantly, it waits for a second or half and freezes

second attempt was after enabling the REISUB bindings and this is what I noticed:

The system goes on sleep mode successfully
Unexpectedly the system wakes up normally from the sleep mode

As you can see it seems like everything is working normally so for the third time I did click the sleep button on my KDE menu and I noticed that:

The system show text (I guess its log)
I cannot move to TTY and do anything
More text shows up after I do the REISUB bindings

the text looks like a log, I took a picture of it, the logs are in this format:
[147.72…. (dots replaces a lot of numbers)] CPU or (GPU I don't know the picture is not clear, but It's not only [C/G]PU there is a lot of other things): ...........
This is an example how a line looks if somebody can identify it,
there is in the logs a lot of intel and Nvidia stuff, I tried to see those logs by doing

sudo journalctl -k -b -1

Here is the detailed logs (I see a lot of Nvidia errors): https://paste.c-net.org/HistoryRigged
Here are the logs of the first login (sddm related): https://paste.c-net.org/BubblesBasket
Here are the logs of error after suspend done with simple

sudo journalctl -b -1

Hope these logs helps, thanks.

Thanks for the downgrading tip, I downgraded and the suspend functionality works very well, but still the sddm problem is not solved, I have tested with and without these kernel parameters

nvidia.NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x03, nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

but still sometimes sddm shows and works and most of the time it doesn't and i need to manually do

sudo systemctl restart sddm

in a TTY environment, other than that i will follow more in the https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/c/g … /linux/148 to see when to upgrade from version 580, if you have any idea on how to solve the sddm problem, i will be happy to apply it to my system so sddm works the way it should, thanks for your help.

The simple approach is to slightly delay the SDDM start (this has shown up a lot recently, across the DMs and GPUs, most likely systemd at work)

Thank you very much, you really helped me, by delaying sddm by 2 seconds, it works normally now, for anyone who's reading in this thread, I delayed sddm launch by, executing the following

# This command creates a directory if it doesn't exist
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/sddm.service.d
# Edits and creates a file
sudo nvim /etc/systemd/system/sddm.service.d/delay.conf

and when you open the editor add the following:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 2

And it will work with you.
Note that I did that because

sudo systemctl edit sddm.service

didn't work for me.
Thanks for the help.

"Didn't work" how?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Thanks, I did,
for the systemctl command and why it didn't work, I don't know exactly, that's what I did:

sudo systemctl edit sddm
Found modifications outside of the staging area, which would be discarded.
/etc/systemd/system/sddm.service.d/override.conf: after editing, new contents are empty, not writing file.

So I created delay.conf to solve the problem, I don't know if KDE plasma did something here "/etc/systemd/system/sddm.service.d/override.conf",
Thanks for the help.
