Problem with hybrid-sleep

$ uname -a
Linux slimbook 7.0.10-artix1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 23 May 2026 18:01:41 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am having a problem running hybrid-sleep on my laptop. Unfortunately suspend

mem

does not work due to a problem with iwlwifi on the slimbook, so I have changed suspend to use

standby

Hibernate works without any problem.

Suspend

standby

works without any problem.

However hybrid-sleep seems to be using

mem

to suspend instead of the set

standby

This is not what I understood to be the case, I thought that hybrid -sleep was supposed to use the suspend set in sleep.conf

What have I missed?

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

What have I missed?

Linux slimbook 7.0.10-artix1-1

https://bbs.archlinux.org/misc.php?action=rules
Artix famously does NOT use systemd so it's not even clear how you facilitate the "hybrid sleep"

Unfortunately suspend mem does not work due to a problem with iwlwifi on the slimbook

I'd seek to solve that, "standby" won't do much - https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/ … ml#standby

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

See whether deep or s2idle perform better (if both are available) and as a workaround you could disconnect, rfkill and modprobe /-r iwlwifi around the sleep?

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

Thanks for the reply, I meant to post to the artix forums. Not the first time that I made that mistake I'm afraid!

The laptop is intel based so standby works much the same as mem, so from that point of view there is little incentive for me to solve the iwlwifi problem.

tried that, (and a lot of other things suggested on google), didn't work.

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd-sleep.conf.5 is completely irrelevant on a non-systemd system like artix.
That's the point. You'd have to figure what your init system actually is and what and how facilitates a "hybrid sleep", https://wiki.artixlinux.org

intel based so standby works much the same as mem

Errr… how so?

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

I don't think you have quite understood the problem. I can run hybrid-sleep on my laptop, but it does not execute as expected. I have set the default suspend mode to standby, but hybrid-sleep uses mem instead of the default mode.

Standby https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/ … ml#standby

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

You can run "systemctl hybrid-sleep" on artix???

Edit: maybe I need to stress that.
The whole point of artix is that it does NOT use systemd, so the entire systemd related sleep and hibernation instructions and commands and configs do not apply on that system.

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

That's not a vaild command.
https://man.archlinux.org/man/loginctl.1

pacman -Qo loginctl

Edit, I assume you're using https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Elogind - what sleep.conf file specifically do you edit (full path)?

Edit #2: from a cursory search it seems elogind is completely controlled via /etc/elogind/logind.conf but you really should bring this to the artix forum.
This problem is as much reason for the forum rule as it can get.

Re: Problem with hybrid-sleep

Yes, as I said, I posted to the wrong forum by mistake.

Thank you very much for trying to help.

Perhaps the moderator should delete this post?
