I get a black screen with the cursor whenever I resume hibernation/suspend on my laptop.
I have tried the following Kernels with same results:

  • Linux-lts
  • Linux-xanmod
  • Linux-tt
  • Linux-mainline
  • Linux-hardened
  • Linux-cachyos-bore

My bios is up to date.

In the power manager settings, if I disable "Lock screen when system is going to sleep" I do not have the black screen issue. So I assume the issue is related to this.

On the Dell_E7470 Arch Wiki, it states that suspend to RAM and suspend to Disk options both work.

I would really prefer not to leave the system without a password prompt upon resume.

My only option is to open another tty and login and run startx so I can get a clean reboot.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

Please, let it in Xfce.

What are your BIOS hibernate state options set at?

Thanks for the idea, here are the BIOS settings I have.

Power Management

  • AC Behavior - Wake on AC
  • Auto On Time - Disabled
  • USB Wake Support - Enable USB Wake Support
  • Wireless Radio Control - Control WLAN radio/Control WWAN radio
  • Wake on LAN/WLAN - Disabled
  • Block Sleep - Disabled
  • Peak Shift - Disabled
  • Dock Support on Battery - Enabled
  • Advanced Battery Charge Configuration - Disabled
  • Primary Battery Charge Configuration - Adaptive

Other than Power Management, I did not see any other settings in BIOS that would affect hibernation.

I wish I could get this working because my laptop running ins sleep is draining the battery pretty fast.

Hi @Rambo, this is the relevant issue: Just had a crash coredump of xfce4-screensaver (#119) · Issues · Apps / xfce4-screensaver · GitLab

There was a regression introduced in a recent version of xfce4-screensaver that causes the problem you are experiencing. A confirmed fix has been announced, and about an hour ago they pushed 4.18 (which has the fix) to [extra] so you should be able to pull it down in a normal update.

Double-check you've pulled down version 4.18 of xfce4-screensaver in your update, then reboot and test again. :crossed_fingers:
