Hi all!

I recently installed Tuxedo OS with KDE and Wayland. I'm fairly new to Linux and, so far, the distro is great. With one caveat.

As far as power options go, everything works fine EXCEPT for Sleep. I can put the PC to sleep, but when I wake it up, I land on the login screen wallpaper with the login/password fields barely visible, as if frozen around the second frame of a fade-in animation.

Nothing works. The mouse cursor doesn't move, the keyboard doesn't do anything. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button until the PC shuts down and then turn it back on again.

I did some digging, but couldn't find a solution. Some threads mentioned modifying something in systemd, but those were from years ago, so I didn't want to risk that.

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

That didn't work for me, though.

I'd love to fix this, but I'm out of ideas. Any help welcome!

EDIT

Forgot it might be a driver issue, people were complaining about Nvidia gear!

I currently don't have a dedicated GPU. I only have Ryzen 7 7800X3D running on MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI ATX AM5 MoBo.

Did you contact TUXEDO Support Centre?

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Haven't had the time yet, but it's on my to-do list. Just not sure if they will support this as I'm running it on my own hardware, not their laptop.

[-] Bogus007@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Give it a try. Perhaps they may give you at least a hint.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

What kernel version? I had similar issues on similar hardware. These have gone away in more recent kernels though.

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

6.11.0-109019-tuxedo.

Not the latest, right? I guess I'll wait for an update.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

No, but I don't believe I saw the issue until the 6.13.x kernels either

[-] original_reader@lemm.ee 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not really related to the issue. If I understand currently, your device isn't bricked, but freezes. A bricked device doesn't boot anymore, a frozen device is unresponsive. Or am I misunderstanding this?

[-] Thorned_Rose@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Came here to say the same thing. Using the term "bricking" in the title had me very confused. It would be catastrophic if this was actually bricking computers.

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yep, not bricked. Just frozen.

There are two forms of bricked:

  1. hard bricked. This is when a software change (eg, installing a custom firmware) caused the system to fail to boot, and there is no possible way to ever get it to run again.
  2. soft bricked. Where a software change caused the failure to boot but there is a way (eg, reflashing using UART) to recover back to an older version that does boot.

Both are terms from the Phone modding community (ie, a phone has become as useful as a brick after this update) it's quite hard to actually brick a modern PC.

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, had a brain fart. It's a freeze.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

you could edit your post title

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, yeah, that's true! Didn't know that's a thing here, good to know!

[-] pogodem0n@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

What's your hardware? And did you regenerate grub's config after editing the file you mentioned?

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Sorry, forgot to mention hardware! Added in an edit now!

I have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and no dedicated GPU (yet).

I ran sudo update-grub after making the changes. That and rebooting a bunch of times since.

[-] pogodem0n@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Did you try any other distro or Windows on this system to narrow down the issue to Tuxedo OS itself? It could be an issue with your motherboard.

It might be due to https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/33083.

Try disabling user session freezing when sleeping:

sudo systemctl edit systemd-suspend.service

Add the following to the file:

[Service]
Environment="SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=false"

Reload systemd:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

After that, try sleeping and waking again.

I would try:

  • see if you can get logs of the resume process
  • suspend from a text VT and see if that changes the behaviour
  • boot into single user mode and try suspend from there
  • boot an older LTS or a newer test kernel and see if it has the same problem
[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

Sorry, mate, I'm a Linux noob.

I have no clue where to find the logs for this.

No idea what a VT is.

Don't know how to boot into single user mode....

[-] Corngood@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Fair enough, most of that isn't something a user should have to worry about.

VT is just Virtual Terminals. You always have one of them active, and in most distros you can switch to others by Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F12. In some distos it's just Alt-F1.

So if you press Ctrl-Alt-F2 you should be brought to a text login. For crazy historical reasons you may have to either press Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to your usual graphical session.

Arch docs for example: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console

I'm pretty sure tuxedo support should be able to cover this for you. Its one of the bonuses of buying a Linux laptop.

[-] Alaknar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I'm running it on a desktop PC, so not sure if they'd cover it. But I might poke them about it, good idea.

[-] eugenia@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

First, update your computer's BIOS/firmware. If that doesn't fix it, then try Arch, or Fedora beta. If the problem exists there too, then it's a kernel issue in general, and it might get fixed in the future. OR, if the computer BIOS is buggy, Linus has been clear that they won't do workarounds for buggy firmwares. In which case, you'd need a new computer that's actually compatible with Linux.

Most of the computers out there have buggy firmwares that go around for Windows, but Linus has been adamant that he wouldn't do workarounds because they bloat the kernel.

Having the same issue on Intel + AMD GPU.

Arch Linux with newest KDE.

That exact issue is why I stopped using KDE. I never did figure it out.

[-] zer0squar3d@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Specs for computer havibg the issue ans how long ago did this happen? Seems like a bug that neexs to be reported and more data for devs the better.

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Tried it November of 2024, ended up switching to Mint with Cinnamon, zero issues since.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
