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
Not sure if you still encounter the issue, but I finally did some trial and error.
It doesn’t seem to be related to the AMD GPU, as I briefly swapped it out for an Intel Arc A750 and had the same issue. I then went ahead and tried disabling most onboard devices of my mainboard (ASUS ROG Strix B650E-E) and sure enough: that fixed it. I then re-enabled them one by one, trying waking the PC from sleep each time and narrowed it down to the on-board Bluetooth.
Do you happen to have a mainboard that has the “MediaTek MT7922A” (or AMD rebranded variant “AMD RZ616”) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card? If so, try disabling the Bluetooth portion of it in the BIOS.
No, it’s has a Realtek PCIe card, but thanks anyway.
My motherboard (AMD B550) doesn’t seem to have built in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. It has a
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter.
