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.)
