Advice needed. PC not waking from sleep with OpenSUSE TW
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

did you try switching to text mode tty console using Ctrl-Alt-F3 or -F4 or -F1 or so? if that works, maybe switching back helps. if switching back doesn't help, you can at least investigate the logs/journals with text mode.
Yeah, I'd certainly try to see if it's a graphical issue or actually locking up.
You can also try toggling num/caps/scroll lock to see if the keyboard LEDs respond. That's a core kernel function, so if even that isn't working, it's really locked up. (Or just really slow to respond.)
It didn't respond to that anymore after entering sleep mode
I see. You could try and enable Magic SysRq, but honestly I don't see how that would lead to a permanent fix.
Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't heard of it yet and it seems very useful. However, I might as well just shut it down completely in this scenario if I have to reboot anyway.
