System crash on power saving

Issues & Assistance KDE
1

Hello everyone.

As the tittle says, I have been experiencing crashes when the monitors turn off for power saving. I think it has been so for the last month. After a while with the monitors off, the HDD led starts blinking regularly and when I use the mouse or keyboard to bring the system back, I am greeted by a frozen desktop screen.

Any help will be appreciated.

Note: I have Kscreen disabled as workaround for a previous problem. It had work for months without problems, but I thought that it would be worth mentioning

This might be unrelated, but what is this failed unit? Do you have an optical media drive?

Paste into the thread the output of

cat /etc/fstab

I would test a few other kernels and see if you can recreate the issue, such as the LTS kernel or the vanilla Linux kernel.

I have two physical drives and an optical one. As far as I know, they all work properly. Although, now you mention, about the same time the problems started, Garuda randomly fails to load the desktop wallpapers on startup. They are located on the data secondary drive

Remove these two lines and reboot to test it.
They seem to have been added by gnome disks (or similar app).
You can use other methods to achieve what you need, if removing them solves your issue.

Actually they were added by me :sweat_smile:. I always keep my user data in a different disk than my O.S. as a security measure and I needed to auto-mount it before my session starts or kde would forget the folder customization.

It worked for the last 5 months or so but I am willing to test it. Maybe an update screwed it.

7

Well, it seems you were right: Removing those lines appears to prevent the system from crashing on power saving. The "Hows" and "Whys" are beyond me, and I'll like to understand then. Starting with why did it work without problems until this month.

But right now what I need is a workaround that allows the disc to be automounted on start up without funny stuff like having to configure the custom "Documents", Videos" etc folders on every start up.
In the past I tried:

UUID="4CAA6027AA600FAE"      /run/media/antonio/WD10SPZX SATA   ntfs   defaults   0   0

or

UUID="4CAA6027AA600FAE"       /home/antonio/datos   ntfs    users

but I experienced some funny behavior, like file being moved to the main drive trash on deletion, instead of using the trash folder on their own drive or not being able to execute programs from the drive.

I would be thankful if I could have some assistance on the matter.

I am no expert on ntfs, though I can only give some advice.

  • Use a mount point at /media/, or at /srv/ to follow Arch/Linux FS directives
  • To better handle auto mounting, use this noauto,x-systemd.automount. Read more advice at fstab wiki article.
  • Before you add an entry at fstab, test/try mounting the partition manually, using mount options that would serve your purpose.
  • Read the latest mount options for mount command, as they change by time, and some old advice may not be perfect/successful
  • Since trying2learn :wink: , I suggest you try the systemd-mount command.
  • See how others do it, for example this (from ddg search)

Thanks for the info.

Sadly, I must inform that I was a little too enthusiastic about the problem being gone: I am still having some funny behavior even with the secondary disk unmounted.

Sometimes the system doesn't totally freeze but comes back very slow and Late dock and panels are nowhere to be seem.

I am starting to suspect about Latte more than about the HDD.

10

Latte development has paused, thus with the rapid KDE advancements, some glitches might be expected. I would advise you to replace Latte functionalities with standard Plasma panels, as they can do a lot (not like Latte, but still :person_shrugging: ).

What type of suspend is in use? Check with:

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

Someone else recently started having issues with their device resuming from suspend–maybe a kernel bug, who knows?–and their issue was resolved by switching from suspend-to-disk to suspend-to-RAM.

See the solution here:

Most of the drawbacks of using this method are related to laptop use (suspend-to-RAM continues to draw power while suspended, which can slowly drain a laptop battery). Considering you have a desktop machine, this may be a good solution for you.

Well, it wasn't Latte either. But now I spent the afternoon rebuilding my U.I. to the default Plasma panels, I'm keeping then. Latte was always a little buggy to me. :sweat_smile:

This:

s2idle [deep]

I am willing to test that too. But I would like to have a rollback command, if possible :smile:

14

You can switch to s2idle like so:

echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep

The command won't survive a reboot, so I guess the "rollback" is built-in on this one. :wink:

Run the command and test resuming from suspend. If it resolves the issue, you can make it permanent by adding mem_sleep_default=s2idle to your kernel parameters.

have you tried

  1. reboot
  2. update
  3. launch fish and sudo dkms autoinstall? Then see if the sleep problem persists?

This might be unrelated but right after installing garuda on my laptop it was having black screen problems after resuming from sleep. I tried all the articles on black screen from the forum with no changes. Posted my problem here and was suggested to use linux-lts which worked fine for a day and then problem resurfaced. nothing was working for me but and at my wits end I accidentally figured this fix for me.

I don't know why this fixed it but it did and now I run sudo dkms autoinstall after every update and so far have no problems with sleep ever since.

16

Without the 1st sudo :

echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep

The same command with the other option:

echo deep | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep

Thanks a lot. s2idle seems to be working for the moment. I want to keep testing it just to be sure before I flag it as the solution, but so far, so good.

Also, I think I'll keep going without Latte from now on anyway. It was cool, but it was always buggy for me so, brains before beauty ...

Well, since I switched to s2idle I haven't been able to reproduce the problem. So we have a solution. :slightly_smiling_face:

I tested the other solution first and it worked for me , so I haven't used your. But thanks nonetheless.
