Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I’m guessing it’s related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it’s black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I’ve tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E ‘screen|lock’

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

    Few things to figure out that could be helpful:

    • What’s your GPU?
    • What suspend modes does your laptop supposedly support, and then what modes does your kernel THINK it supports
    • What kernel are you in?
    • What does dmesg show right after you wake the machine back up?

      What’s your GPU?

      NVIDIA GeForce MX150 (Thinkpad t480)

      What suspend modes does your laptop supposedly support, and then what modes does your kernel THINK it supports

      Sleep mode, hibernation mode, wireless off (source). freeze mem disk (cat /sys/power/state)

      I doubt it’s related as systemctl suspend works as expected.

      What kernel are you in?

      6.1.0-20-amd64

      What does dmesg show right after you wake the machine back up?

      dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

      I’ve tried resuming 50+ times while troubleshooting, and it only once did it correctly. Now I try to replicate the bug and it worked correctly 2/3 times.

        That’s just the computers fucking with you. It’s how it always happens 😉

        Regarding the sleep modes, I was referring to the S* states. Run this:

        dmesg | grep 'S3\|suspend'

          Tried systemctl suspend and then resume:

          dmesg after a successful resume

          sudo dmesg | grep -E "S3|suspend"

            The only thing that looks odd in there is the default in libgl, but otherwise looks okay. So it’s probably not a compatibility problem.

            How is your swap sized compared to your system memory?
