Laptop12 w/ KUbuntu 25.04 freezing when suspending

Framework Laptop 12 Linux
1

Hi All,
I’ve had my laptop 12 for 3 months and while initially everything was fine, over the last month it started to freeze when suspending. Usually it happens just after suspending the 3rd or 4th time since the restart (the mouse pointer freezes where the suspend button is), but occasionally I get it the 1st or 2nd time. Once I also had the impression it froze when exiting from suspend state because when sleeping the power button was flashing and after opening the lid it froze and power button was always on.
I tried to boot with 6.14.0-29-generic but I had the same issue.

Other threads suggested some temporary freezing related to gnome, but it didn’t seem to apply.

Is anyone having similar issues? Can anyone suggest anything I can try?

Here is my configuration:

As initially I didn’t have any issue, I suppose it’s possible some package I updated/installed had some side effect, but not sure which one. I extracted them from the dpkg log:

Sleeping works fine on my Fedora 42 (Linux is 6.16.8). Try one of the supported distributions to see if it fixes the issue.

I would have liked Debian too, but I’ve read somewhere that its kernel is just a bit old to miss some features. Maybe yours is just a bit too old too.

Data point: just woke up the laptop from around 28 hours of sleep. It was charged to 60% and had about 36% battery charge. Not everything seems perfect, but waking from sleep seems to work fine (testing since last Friday).

Thanks, but I’d rather not to re-install given that it was working before, I’d prefer to try and find out what broke it.

But I’ll bear that in mind in case I wanna try a different distro.

Well, you’re in unsupported territory. :slight_smile: Try compiling a new kernel and add it to your boot manager to try it out.

But it’ll take a lot less reading and time just to try some of the supported live distribution on a usb stick. Then you could look to upgrade/change whatever is different in the kernel and drivers and possibly the desktop manager.
