From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tuxedo OS (Ubuntu-based) with KDE/Wayland - waking from Sleep freezes the computer. Help? (lemm.ee)

Hi all!

I recently installed Tuxedo OS with KDE and Wayland. I'm fairly new to Linux and, so far, the distro is great. With one caveat.

As far as power options go, everything works fine EXCEPT for Sleep. I can put the PC to sleep, but when I wake it up, I land on the login screen wallpaper with the login/password fields barely visible, as if frozen around the second frame of a fade-in animation.

Nothing works. The mouse cursor doesn't move, the keyboard doesn't do anything. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button until the PC shuts down and then turn it back on again.

I did some digging, but couldn't find a solution. Some threads mentioned modifying something in systemd, but those were from years ago, so I didn't want to risk that.

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

That didn't work for me, though.

I'd love to fix this, but I'm out of ideas. Any help welcome!

EDIT

Forgot it might be a driver issue, people were complaining about Nvidia gear!

I currently don't have a dedicated GPU. I only have Ryzen 7 7800X3D running on MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI ATX AM5 MoBo.

Do you have a Nvidia GPU?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware in the OP. I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

Is your root partition encrypted?

Give the output of lsblk if you could.

I'm not seeing any swap space, so that could be it. Check this post out.

It could also be that your BIOS settings for suspend/resume aren't set to something compatible with your existing config as well though, if the above doesn't work, or you're not comfortable with that level of interaction, check your BIOS first, then try the above maybe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Everything worked fine on Windows - wouldn't BIOS misconfiguration also cause problems there?

You could try a tool like LACT and setting your gpu power profile to always highest. Another thing you could check is your BIOS settings, https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bios-beginners,1126-8.html or checking if the latest bios is installed https://red.artemislena.eu/r/gigabyte/comments/1b3bffy/gigabye_b650_aorus_elite_ax_rev_10_sleeppower/

Hmm... Wouldn't I also have sleep problems on Windows if this was a BIOS issue?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't know enough to rule out that windows could overwrite bios.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (4 children)

There's no Windows, I nuked the drive before installing Tuxedo OS.

This is not a solution at all and just what I usually resort to, I always disable sleep on every OS and computer I use. I've always had strange issues after waking up from sleep that persist until reboot and I can't even remember what they are now because it's been so long since I've used it.
