#LMDE sometimes hangs on suspend

That sounds awful. It doesn't react from any inputs? Are you perhaps using an Nvidia graphics device?
No, it's an AMD RX 6600
System info
Just to confirm, is Secure Boot disabled?
Secure Boot is disabled
Yeah, it doesn't react to input when it hangs like this.
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?
No, it isn't.
-# There's no good reason to use Windows 11 hehe
I'm not sure if I have performance mode on, but that does remind me that I used an app to modify some things about the GPU (lower clock speed, power limit, undervolting, and custom ventilation control)
That may be your problem then.
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 installed the latest BIOS when I first got this in January or Feburary :3
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.
It was my first PC build (and I know nothing about parts) 😅
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.
It's a USB 3 port on the front io. There's also two USB 2 ports but I can't plug those in since my wifi card needs the USB 2 header I think
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.
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)
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.
