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’
I found a different solution: trigger an xrandr config. I’m leaving automating it for tomorrow.
The funniest thing is that I was trying to help out some other lemmy user fix their own xrandr issues, and accidentally came across a thread mentioning it when I went back to fixing my own.
OK glad you found some workaround!
I found it because you pointed out the monitor might be turning off. Changed search terms and found the recommendation in a Reddit thread. The full solution wasn’t great though.
