Sleep and hybrid mode not working?

yovecio · April 11, 2025, 12:48pm

Hi there,

So after many years I decided to switch from Debian to Arch and so far no complains except small stuff. Unfortunately I never had a recent laptop with hybrid graphics so I can´t really compare with other OSses.

So far what I am missing/not working is:

Sleep seems never kicking in so far(mostly the screen goes off, but fans keep spinning all the time). Tried to play around with kernel flags with no success.
Hybrid GPU mode seems not really offloading to Nvidia card(tried some benchmark tools but it kept running on the internal CPU). So far I circumnavigated the problem by using Switchero but shouldnt the system switch by itself?

Here some info about my HW:

Here the boot logs:

And here the fail logs after a sleep is attempted:
https://0x0.st/8pZl.txt

Thanks in advace
Cheers

Welcome!

Please show the output of commands

sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-inst
nvidia-inst --test

There might be BIOS updates, but let’s deal with them later.

Regarding the BIOS update, I have already installed the latest available at the provider’s website.
BTW, I do see now that I am using the proprietary drivers and not the opensource ones, might this be the reason the sleep is miss-behaving?

Edit: I tried to dig deeper and apparently I managed to identify that the RP12 is causing the issue where the sleep is not working.

If I disable the apci the sleep works fine and it restores normally, so now I do wonder if I can just didable it or what is used for?

nvidia-inst recommends using nvidia-open-dkms instead of nvidia-dkms because NVIDIA itself recommends it for your GPU (which is Ada Lovelace family).

So simply I’d run nvidia-inst and see if it works better than before.
Hope this helps. If not, please look at the Arch wiki which includes lots of useful information about NVIDIA GPUs.

Hello again,

I switched to the open version and so far nothing changed, but as i wrote before seems like disabling the apci wakeup via custom sustemctl service did the trick and the sleep function works
