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.

What kernel version? I had similar issues on similar hardware. These have gone away in more recent kernels though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

6.11.0-109019-tuxedo.

Not the latest, right? I guess I'll wait for an update.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

No, but I don't believe I saw the issue until the 6.13.x kernels either

Did you contact TUXEDO Support Centre?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Haven't had the time yet, but it's on my to-do list. Just not sure if they will support this as I'm running it on my own hardware, not their laptop.

Give it a try. Perhaps they may give you at least a hint.

Having the same issue on Intel + AMD GPU.

Arch Linux with newest KDE.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That's interesting! Might be KDE bug then.

Could you try going to System Settings → Screen Locking and de-select "Lock after waking from sleep"? I wonder if you'll get the same result as I'm getting.

Before I updated the BIOS to the latest version, once I woke it up, I'd see the desktop exactly frozen as it was the moment I pressed the "Sleep" button.

Now, after the update, that freeze happens BEFORE the PC goes to sleep - the monitors stay on.

That exact issue is why I stopped using KDE. I never did figure it out.
