New Bazzite install won't wake from sleep
Hi everyone. Just installed Bazzite on an older machine and loving it so far. I have noticed that when I put my machine to sleep, I'm not able to get it to wake. I've tried pressing the physical power key, using the keyboard, and using the mouse, but cannot get it to wake. Is there a setting I am missing here? The machine was able to wake up from sleep when it had Windows as the OS.

echo freeze | sudo tee /sys/power/state
should put it to sleep
in a way that it can wake
hopefully
the effect is immediete it won't change the default sleep behavior
but if this works
we can change the defaultThanks for your reply! When using that command from the terminal I get the following output:
freeze
tee: /sys/power/state: Input/output error
did you copy the command exactly?
very strange error
Just tried again to verify, the command was exact. Looking into what that response means now. Never seen that before.
the error is real weird
i might have seen it once before
not in this context though
I spent some time looking into it. Can't find anything about it in this context. Not sure how to continue, other than to just turn the machine off when not using it. Not the worst outcome. Thanks for your help @nagito || Knight of Emilia!
Its a known issue that people have talked about previously and i'm unsure if there is actually a fix. If there's not an issue on github i'd recommend opening one
I ran into this issue after updating also.
I have the same problem
Same here. Did that github issue ever get created?
I also tried the
echo freeze | sudo tee... recommendation and got an identical result. Input/output error.Sleep in Desktop mode just seems to be broken in Bazzite 43. On my system it won't enter sleep at all when in Desktop mode. I ended up rolling back to F42.20251019
If it is purely sleep, you guys might be getting hit by a KDE bug:
bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510992
For context: I have the same issue on bazzite and a cachyos machine. Its both KDE, but other people also report the same behaviour on Niri for example. Its really strange and most likely a kernel bug being exposed
I've also found that the power button also doesn't resume the system from sleep. (Now, I don't know if that's a BIOS setting I ought to change or further evidence of a problem, but one more data point at least.)
That's interesting. Reviewing journald:
For every time the system was put to sleep. :thinkface:
Red herring. Enabling fw-fanctrl did not change the behavior at all.
