PC will not wake up from sleep mode
In the title essentially
Basically, new to Bazzite os. Dual booter, and I tried to go into sleep mode for the night. Fast forward to morning I tried to wake it up and press the power button physically just like on Windows, doesn't work. I try moving the mouse and pressing keys, nothing worked. The PC was on, the lights the keyboard the mouse but I couldn't wake it up so I had to force a shutdown. I can easily replicate on my machine. Im pretty much done with Bazzite if I cant figure this out as this is pretty important for me. I have a Logitech G915 KB and a PRO WIRELESS mouse from Logitech, don't know if that'll help but im running on Nvidia too

This has oddly happened multiple times too
Not once a single time, I could get it to boot from sleep
Another thing, Im pretty sure either it wont come out of sleep entirely OR it's just a black screen but idk how
we can check
which ot os
will you be available in 5 hours? im outside of home rn
if yku want though we could talk it through
and see if we can find a solution
there's a special key
called the sysrequest key
it's not enabled by default
what's that? sorry im new to linux
but when it is it the kernel will always respond
im confused
ok so
uhhhh
yeah im sorry im confused
there's a special key on the keyboard which when used in combination with other keys will do various things
oh
so like you have to set a combo to wake pc
ok this part got me confused, so if im right I gotta set a combo? but how come pressing the power button won't wake it up either
Example
I did go into grubs commands and turned off AMD IOMMU, but it didn't work
Windows does wake up as normal via mouse move and power button
hmm i wonder if hibernate works
on bazzite?
right now im on windows, so ill have to try it after i finish doing something on here
yeah though i don't think bazzite is set up to support hibernation by default
oh
mainly as long as i can get it to not die every single time i put it in sleep
ill be fine
booting from hibernation is slower than from RAM sleep of course
but hopefully it'll work
dang
i looked into more things
hmmmmm
what does it say if you
cat /sys/power/mem_sleepvia grub or command
in the terminal
not grub
ok
it said
interesting
it's different for me
s2idle [deep]if i put it in sleep pretty much it'll blackscreen and become unrecoverable
so then if i wanna use bazzite again ill have to hole my power button
it turns off normally holding the power button, it just shows nothing
nada
zilch
what if you
echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep
& then try to sleepok
Nope
Gotta hard reboot again
ok back on bazzite
that did NOT work sadly
hmmmm
interesting
imma explain a bit
s2idle is a more basic sleep state
where the kernel just stops all processes & switches all attached devices into low power mode
but the kernel itself is still running
on my system this manifests as the screen & stuff turning off but the fans still spinning
whereas in normal deep sleep even the fans stop
because the CPU itself is stopped entirely
yeah, the pc is still on
but its not displaying
nor waking
its in an idle state
since its
well
sleep
atp ill probably just ditch
sorry
echo deep | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep
what happens when you do this?
does the terminal say something like invalid argument
if not
will it wake from sleep?one sec
yeah no sadly
yeah ill have to stop using bazzite
is it safe to just use gparted to format the drive
and will it remove grub too
all the fans and system are running
its just stuck sleeping
what about
echo freeze | sudo tee /sys/power/statedo i have to reboot
ok so pressing it just froze rhe system
screen didn't go off
hmm interesting
does it respond to typing or the power button?
does it respond to typing or the power button?
no the system is locked up
holding the power button would certainly respond
as its a forced sd
echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state
this troggers normal sleep immedietely
wonder if this behaves differentlylet me try this
also froze and locked up
still on but like locked
same thing as before?
mhm
well this does seem like a failure in a driver
so what do I do now?
could this be indication of system failure?
I mean it works fine on windows
if it works in Windows probably not hardware failure
setting up hibernation would probably be a workaround
Yeah, windows doesn't have issues with going into sleep
here's a guide i found

update: turns out this is an alienware issue and not a bazzite issue
oh crazy
