Razer Blade Laptop - Sleeps after 30 seconds post opening lid

Issues & Assistance Qtile
1

I installed Garuda Qtile to my laptop a couple days ago because I've wanted to try out a tiling window manager. I daily drove KDE Plasma on my desktop for most of 2021, but swapped back to using Windows because of school and some certain games, as well as having to unplug and replug my mic on every boot to get it to work. So I'm somewhat familiar with linux and using the terminal, but I would no way say I'm an advance user or even an intermediate user. I typically save modifying config files as a last resort, but I have had to do so in the past.

My issue is that when I close my lid to my laptop while it is on, it goes to sleep no problem, but when I open it back up it goes back to sleep within 30 seconds. it doesn't matter if I'm in the middle of typing, moving my mouse, having a video play, or anything. It's working fine, then my mouse disappears, shortly followed by the screen going black and the computer going to sleep. It will only wake up if I press a key, but then 30 seconds later the same thing happens. The only way to stop it is by completely restarting it.

I've slightly configured Qtile, but it's only been changing keybinds and customizing the color of the bar. Other than that it should be stock.

Hi there, welcome.
Maybe check if the solution below helps you also…

Have you experienced similar issues with this hardware on other OS's?

Does this also happen if you boot from a Garuda live disk?

Have you tested multiple alternate kernels?

Is your BIOS up to date?

Have you tried Installing linux-firmware-git , and rebooting?

Does this also happen if you run systemctl suspend instead of closing the lid?

Does this also happen if you use the power button instead of closing the lid?

Does this also happen if the battery is removed?

Is "Fast Startup" disabled in Windows, (and bios)?

Edit:

The following command will automatically add a kernel boot parameter that may help with your issue to /etc/default/grub:

sudp cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak && sed 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\".*[^"]/& button.lid_init_state=open/g' /etc/default/grub | sudo tee /etc/default/grub

After adding the boot parameter(s), run:

sudo update-grub

Then, reboot

If desired, the changes to /etc/default/grub can be reverted with:

sudp cp /etc/default/grub.bak /etc/default/grub

Then, run:

sudo update-grub

The boot parameter seems to do the trick. Thanks a ton!

You're welcome, and glad to hear that helped.

It took a fair bit of digging to find that parameter, so I'm happy it paid off.

Welcome to Garuda.

@dalto deserves the credit for the sed command magic.
