#LMDE sometimes hangs on suspend

It seems random when it suspends properly and when it doesn't.

When it doesn't, the display and USBs turn off, but the power button and fans stay on. I'm forced to hold the power button to turn it off. Log files don't provide useful data (the last message is the usual systemd entering suspend).

That sounds awful. It doesn't react from any inputs? Are you perhaps using an Nvidia graphics device?

Just to confirm, is Secure Boot disabled?

Secure Boot is disabled

This usually occurs in somehow explainable terms in Nvidia and Intel devices, often relevant to graphics devices like so.

#

I believe I may not be able to contribute to this conversation further. I have also encountered this before, but I failed to fix it too.

#

Will ask for help from some volunteers on your behalf.

Do you have somehow performance mode turned on for the amd driver or something?

#

Is this a dual boot system?

That may be your problem then.

Here's my current settings

#

I'm going to reset it and then only change the fans

Check if there is a BIOS update. B550 is a weird chip, and Gigabyte is a derpy vendor. I am also not happy to see this being run on kernel 6.1, which is getting old. But in LMDE, it is not alle that easy to switch kernels.

I'll try to update the kernel as well. I'm not scared of the terminal :3c

This is probably some power state bug. Perhaps System Reports has some clues about it, or you can get systemd to tell you about it. But I cannot offer guidance on that, never really got used to systemd.
Overall, that is a fine and balanced system, the only thing I would not have picked is the B550 board, since these have a terrible reputation. I run my stuff mostly on B450 boards - yes, only PCIe3, but for that I get unparalleled stability.

I took the entry level amd build from pcpartpicker, adjusted the psu after someone told me the one it listed was garbage, reduced storage, got a cheaper case (so i could afford a monitor). I got that motherboard since amazon actually had a shipping date for it (the one i was going to get had no ETA)

I heard about lots of USB-specific issues with B550 chipsets, and not being able to sleep properly sometimes may well be caused by a faulty USB controller. You could disconnect any surplus USB devices and see if that makes a difference.

Sleeping worked just fine on CachyOS (arch based) but sometimes I'd turn it on and xserver would just freak out and become colorful garbage/static before making my pc not responsive heh

The only usb stuff I have plugged in is a wifi card and a singular USB 3.0 port

Single port? Is that a hub for things like keyboard and mouse? These can make problems, too.

verbal jackal

I have my keyboard plugged into the motherboard IO

Well, these things are hard to diagnose. It is either some firmware/mainboard bug that is not compensated by the old kernel, or a kernel bug. I would run the Mint main live environment and see if that one can sleep/wake properly. If it can, a newer kernel is likely what you need. If it also runs into this issue, it is time to pester Gigabyte.

verbal jackal
#

It's hard to diagnose since it happens only like half the time, hehe.
I'll see if I get any more hanging after changing those GPU settings (I also disabled the service that waits for a network connection for faster boot)

verbal jackal
#

It doesn't seem to be resolved :c

#

Running pm-is-supported --suspend returns nothing.

Maybe turn off suspend if you can't get arround it.
