Suspend/hibernation: Laptop wakes up again immedeatly if power is connected

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

One of the things I still need to sort out is fixing suspend/hibernation.
I am on BTRFS with LUKS encryption so I know suspend to disk is going to be interesting, but first things first, which is fixing suspend to ram which currently only works when the machine is not connected to a power supply.

The machine will happily suspend with e.g. systemctrl suspend or via the DE sleep menu but whenever the power cable is connected it will wake up again immediately.
This is getting increasingly annoying as I started to use a docking station where I have to undock, suspend and wait for it to complete before docking in again.

Long story short, I have read up and down the internet, and there are many with similar issues, but all the answers are based on finding out which devices is blocking the suspension and then fix this part.
Usual suspects seem to be USB ports, but for me it doesn’t matter if I got some devices attached or not, and I can’t find anything meaningful to me in the logs.

Hence I thought I’d check here if someone has got additional thoughts.

Here’s what I have done so far:

  • pm-utils installed

  • ran systemctl suspend or from Plasma UI as root or user: works reliably w/o power, fails reliably with power connected.

  • Disabled all wakeup sources except the power button in /proc/acpi/wakeup via echo LID0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
    Assuming that “PBTN” is the power button?
    No effect.

  • Ran PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend with power cable plugged in and w/o and compared the logs
    The logs are identical up to the last line (#2939) of the failing log, no obvious error in the last lines.
    I added the dashlines for readability.
    Last entries of the failing log:

+ remove_suspend_lock
+ release_lock pm-suspend.lock
+ local lock=/var/run/pm-utils/locks/pm-suspend.lock
+ rm -f /var/run/pm-utils/locks/pm-suspend.lock
+ return 0

Working log (w/o power):


+ remove_suspend_lock
+ release_lock pm-suspend.lock
+ local lock=/var/run/pm-utils/locks/pm-suspend.lock
+ rm -f /var/run/pm-utils/locks/pm-suspend.lock
+ return 0
--------------------------------------
+ log 'Initial commandline parameters: '
+ is_set true
+ case ${1-UNSET} in
+ return 0
+ local 'fmt=%s\n'
+ '[' 'Initial commandline parameters: ' = -n ']'
+ printf '%s\n' 'Initial commandline parameters: '
Initial commandline parameters: 
+ load_hook_blacklist
+ '[' '' ']'
+ return
....lots of additional entries...

DMESG -T shows a succesful suspenion and then wakes up right away again

The timestamps below are a bit missleading but I guess that’s due to the fact that right after the wakeup the system is still operating with the time when the machine went to sleep?

Also tried a few non Arch specific ones, just in case
/etc/pm/config.d/usb_suspend_workaround as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291300, didn’t work

Any ideas on where to look next?

@TomZ

Many times having TLP installed brings those problems, if so try uninstalling it.

You can also see here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214160

Thanks judd, it wasn’t TLP by the look of it because I didn’t have it installed.
And when trying to install I was told that I can only have either one…so I went ahead and installed TLP and removed pm-utils, but unfortunately no luck. Same behaviour…

sudo pacman -S tlp

:: tlp and pm-utils are in conflict. Remove pm-utils? [y/N] y

@TomZ

In certain cases, what for some does not work, for others it does. Since they say there to disable it (TLP) for the suspension to work (personally I never had problems)

Have you configured and enabled TLP correctly?
Well, the wiki says everything you need to do: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TLP

Thanks for clarifying Joe. Looks like I was on the wrong path with pm-utils.

But it’s gone now, replaced by TLP, and when I use systemctl suspend now, it shows the same behaviour:
Stays suspended w/o power, and restarts immedeatly with power plugged in.

7

isn’t it logind handle this actions?
Power_management_with_systemd

8

That is a great post, I will need some time to work through…will report back!
Thanks again…

9

i was fighting with this too here to get a nice config work for XFCE4, and xfce4 is bringing in lot of oldshool stuff here too :wink:

10

Well, I spent a few more hours with this subject, configured TLP to the best of my knowledge @Resiliencia but unfortunately nothing would change the situation.
However, right now I am getting an error, too fast for my eyes and my camera but a video did the trick.

tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -5

And when looking for this error I found this one here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/18/1123
Now, that looks almost exactly like my issue, except I use different kernels and don’t get the error in dmesg.

So my conclusion is that I am dealing with a kernel issue which is way beyond my ability to solve.
I will hence give up on this for now, what would you guys recommend I do with this? Follow a thread somewhere to find out if and when the issue was solved? Should I add my case to this one somewhere?

11

LTS Kernel tested?

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

reboot choose LTS kernel from grub boot menu and see if it change anything…

12

I installed the lts kernel a while back but the boot process gets stuck right before the graphical environment gets launched. Didn’t spend the time yet to troubleshoot this one. But I should be able to test the suspend issue from a tty I guess.
I’ll try and update this post…

Edit:
Not working either, the only exception is that the tty stays blank once the machine starts again.

13

Can you provide bootlog and systemspecs?
https://endeavouros.com/docs/forum/how-to-include-systemlogs-in-your-post/

14

Absolutely, showing data for the LTS kernel or the current 5.2.8 one?

Try to check your bios and disable HT (hyperthreading) and options that are related to memory (oc, memory hole, interleaving and so on

Intel Hyperthreading on Skylake seems to cause such issues…

16

Disabled HT, unfortunately still no luck.

Ah, the kde _powerdevil one is probably a leftover from when Powerdevil was installed and KDE tried to pull it’s data in?
Yes, I am at a loss myself. But thanks for your help, really appreciated! I think I will leave this for now, already spent too much time with this…
