Good Morning!
My computer starts to sleep if I dont toch it for a while, and when I come back to move the mouse nothing happens and I have to restart.
I suspect that you’ve already talked about this isse here:System freezes after sleep (Tumbleweed) - English / Applications - openSUSE Forums
The thread is locked so I cannot write in it anymore. I have som trouble understanding the answer though. The answer is linked in a forum from an arch-forum.
If Ill understand correctly, I should either write this line:
[Service]
Environment="SYSTEMD_SLEEP_FREEZE_USER_SESSIONS=false"
Somwhere, or downgrade SystemD (which appear to be like autoexec.bat for linux)
The fedora solution didnt help, but at least it didnt make things worse
I have a sinking feeling this has something to do with the Nvidia driver.@karlmistelberger who has had similar issues.
Try looking at the journal logs for any priority 3 errors journalctl -p3.
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.html
A lot of stuff came up then:

I would also like to know more about ‘how to disable disable s2ram and use s2idle’ please
Ouch, that does not look like a healthy system
To fix the pam issues, do:
sudo zypper in --force pam_pkcs11 fprintd-pam
Check current suspend config:
pavin@suse-pc:~> cat /sys/power/state
freeze mem
pavin@suse-pc:~> cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
s2idle [deep]
deep means s2ram is available. those square brackets mean it’s the default.
Test if s2idle works (save and close all apps prior to running just in case):
# run as root
echo freeze > /sys/power/state
Said to hear my system doesnt look healthy. I have finally managed to get the nvidia working and just tested a game on steam, so Ive never seen a healthier linux system…
so I did just solved the pam issue. (I think) Thank you for that.

I know the cat command list whats in a file, so Im not sure I did that correctly.
I will now try and test s2idle
ok, that one didnt turn out well
h-46-59-89-212:/ # echo freeze > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: write error: Input/output error

You only want to list the content of the file via cat. That means cat and the filename needs to be used. As you are overhanding additional invalid parameters after the filename, the file cannot be read.
Wrong command:
cat /sys/power/mem_sleep s2idle [deep]
Correct command:
cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

Hmm, could you try:
# run as root
echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep
# make sure s2idle is in square brackets (active) by running:
cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
# make system go into s2idle
echo mem > /sys/power/mem_sleep
# Wait few seconds, press some keyboard button to resume and provide output of
journalctl -p3 -b
h-46-59-89-212:/ # echo s2idle > /sys/power/mem_sleep
h-46-59-89-212:/ # cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
[s2idle] deep
h-46-59-89-212:/ # echo mem > /sys/power/mem_sleep
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
h-46-59-89-212:/ #
That went well until echo mem > /sys/power/mem_sleep
Looks like there’s some issue with s2idle too!sudo journalctl -p3 -b ?
That most likely is just the screen being turned off by the DE and not an actual suspend/resume!

Nope. echo mem > /sys/power/mem_sleep won’t work. The mem parameter needs to be overhanded to /sys/power/state and not /sys/power/mem_sleep.
Check your instructions from this comment . They are wrong.

You’re right, I just had a brainfart mem is supposed to be written to /sys/power/state.
Thats cool of course
But sadly it didnt work either:
staffan@h-46-59-89-212:~/Downloads> su
Password:
h-46-59-89-212:/home/staffan/Downloads # echo mem > /sys/power/state
bash: echo: write error: Input/output error
h-46-59-89-212:/home/staffan/Downloads # cat /sys/power/state
freeze mem disk
h-46-59-89-212:/home/staffan/Downloads #
can I edit the file in notepad and add
Editing won’t work as this is a pseudo file. You can read from it and write to it, but it’s really an API endpoint exposed as a file for sysadmins and users [1] to interact with the underlying features of the kernel.
[1] as opposed to programmers who would directly call the C functions.
pseudo file = endpoint api. This is great knowledge.
Any idea why it didnt work?
Chatgpt seem to think its the NVIDAI again. (I will never in my life buy NVIDIA again, but this computer is only 5 years old)
Hopefully someone with Nvidia can chime in, but you could search for similar issues on the forum. there are plenty sadly!
One idea I had for hibernation on @karlmistelberger 's machine was to do the following:
Stop the DE
Unload the proprietary driver
Load the open driver
Hibernate
On resume, reverse those actions essentially.
Little complicated and wouldn’t work for suspend.
Unload the properitary driver?
Hello, Ive been trying out linux on varoius old laptops, but thought that thus time I should try it on my real dekstop. I was proad when I managed to get the broadcom drivers working using a usb stick
…Im not sure I want to do that
