Thinkpad L13 yoga Gen2 Resume from Sleep Issues

Greetings,
It's been two weeks since i got my very first Thinkpad, an L13 yoga gen 2 (i5 1135g7 16/256), with arch linux obviously.
since the beginning i've been having issues with the resume from Sleep.

--- the issue ---

The issue occours when the computer is put to sleep by closing the lid, if i try to put to sleep the computer in any other way (like by using "systemctl sleep", or using the DE gui or shortcut ctrl+4) this issue is absent.
The sleep option on the bios is currently set to S3-Linux and only with that option i can resume the laptop with the "Fn" key, otherwise power button or any other clickable thing does nothing.
s2idle (Windows sleep on bios) makes things worse as the Fn key does absolutely nothing and i can't resume the laptop in any way.

--- Troubleshooting steps i already tried ---

- Switching from [deep/s3 linux] to [Windows/s2idle] sleep
- Disabling TPM module in bios
- Using the kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=off"
- i915 driver related stuff ( im using the Xe driver but even with the i915 one, the issue is still there)
- updating kernel (currently using linux 7.2.9-2-cachyos-bore-lto)
- updating firmware with fwupd [bios and IntelManagementEngine is on latest version available)
-------
any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: Thinkpad L13 yoga Gen2 Resume from Sleep Issues

issue occours when the computer is put to sleep by closing the lid … currently set to S3-Linux … can resume the laptop with the "Fn" key

You kinda forgot to describe the symptoms of the issue that's occurring when sleeping via lid.

grep -i lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

and if you can please post a journal of the boot after waking from lid-induced sleep.

sudo journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999

or

sudo journalctl -b -1 | nc termbin.com 9999

for the previous (-1) one.

Edit: ceterum censeo, in case there's a parallel windows installation see the 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

When putting the pc to sleep by closing the lid, the power button, keystrokes (except Fn), touchpad/trackpoint movement, Touch screen, repeated lid open/close simply doesnt wake up the pc. Only "Fn" key wakes it up.

Oct 16 17:18:18 ThinkingRock systemd-logind[1105]: Lid closed.
Oct 16 17:18:18 ThinkingRock NetworkManager[1099]: <info>  [1792163898.2418] manager: sleep: sleep requested (sleeping: no  enabled: yes)
Oct 16 17:18:30 ThinkingRock systemd-logind[1105]: Lid opened.
Oct 16 17:18:31 ThinkingRock niri[1797]: libinput error: event1  - Lid Switch: client bug: event processing lagging behind by 1323ms, your system is too slow

Is this also the case when only booting and sleeping from/waking to the multi-user.target (2nd link below)?

Re: Thinkpad L13 yoga Gen2 Resume from Sleep Issues

In the previews log i was still in the graphical target ( i didn't specify it before but it is Niri + DMS-shell )
Here, is journalctl with the multi-user.target:

Re: Thinkpad L13 yoga Gen2 Resume from Sleep Issues

The idea was to test whether you can wake the system w/ the lid this way (since it's enabled for wakeup and the previous journal looks like that's what woke the system - hypothesis being that niri keeps DPMS and only activates the monitor on keypress, though even then Fn out of all keys is strange)

I think that the "Fn" key to wake up is a thinkpad thing and apparently that's working how it's supposed to.
also it is not just the monitor that's off, it's the entire pc because:
- LEDs on the keyboard are off
- power button / "i" on the thinkpad lid logo is still breathing slowly (so pc is still asleep)
- Fan doesnt power on (usually when it resumes from sleeps, the fan briefly spins up)

It's a strange behavoir that the lid switch has, because i cant find an explaination to what is different from putting the pc to sleep by command or by the switch.

:colbertemoji:

Have/can you test the behavior on some random live distro?
Is this maybe related to whether the notbook is attached to a dock/external power?

Re: Thinkpad L13 yoga Gen2 Resume from Sleep Issues

The preoblem persists with both the laptop connected to the charger and also while on a live iso (i tested with a CachyOs iso i had on a usb drive)
