For quite some time now, KDE has intermittently been unable to go to sleep. It will either go to a black screen with the cursor still showing, and the computer running, or it will show a half frozen sddm looking screen with the computer still running. The computer, in both cases, will be wholly unresponsive, and the only way to get out of it is to forcefully shutdown the PC by, for example, holding the power button.

Has anyone else been having this issue?

  • OS: Arch Linux (kernel v6.4.1-arch2-1)
  • DE: KDE Plasma v5.27.6, Wayland
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX-6600

Oh, you too? I disabled it a few days ago because it kept happening and I'd get not video output. Nothing logged.

I have similar specs, RX 5700 XT, AMD 7950x. Also Arch and KDE (though I don't know the versions offhand but I updated a few days ago).

I have the exact same issue. I've never been able to see any errors in the logs. Essentially just says "going to sleep" then that's it.

My suspicion is that a kernel update broke it and that downgrading to LTS (or even an older LTS) kernel would fix it. I didn't bother to troubleshoot further because I don't need suspend that badly (desktop).

Unfortunately, I am unable to downgrade to LTS. I need the latest kernel version for a my WiFi card (I've had a ton of annoying driver issues with this specific card that seem to now be fixed in the latest few kernel updates).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
