I’ve been having issues with my PC not waking from sleep, the fan keeps spinning, but the screen stays black, and it won’t respond. I could just keep it on all the time, but it uses a lot of electricity, so I prefer not to.
So far I’ve tried:
- Using Wayland / X11
- Secure boot off/on
- Installing the latest BIOS update
- Waking with keyboard presses, mouse movement, power button
Some more information:
- Sleeps works fine on Windows.
- I’m using an AMD CPU & GPU
- I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I’m fully up-to-date (version 20240919).
- I’m using kernel 6.10.9-1-default (64-bit)
- I have a swap partition with the same size as my memory
Yeah, I’d certainly try to see if it’s a graphical issue or actually locking up.
You can also try toggling num/caps/scroll lock to see if the keyboard LEDs respond. That’s a core kernel function, so if even that isn’t working, it’s really locked up. (Or just really slow to respond.)
