Suspend not supported on Mint 22.1 after upgrade to AMD 7840U

Framework Laptop 13 Linux
1

Hi All,

I recently upgrade my Linux Mint Framework 13’s mainboard to the AMD 7840U. See below for specifics on my current setup.

I had a 12th gen intel board, and swapped over my SSD, to the new board with new DDR5 ram. Everything works well except for hibernate and suspend. Neither works since I upgraded. I downgraded to an older Kernel ( 6.6.30-060630-generic) from the latest 6.8 release and that fixed hibernate, but sleep is not available. When I try to suspend using systemctl suspend, I get:

Call to Suspend failed: Sleep verb 'suspend' is not configured or configuration is not supported by kernel

I didn’t change anything substantial in this area since the upgrade so i’m not sure what to do to fix the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Steve

Maybe this discussion from EndeavourOS forums will help?

After many hours of discussion with chat gpt, I still cannot get the laptop to suspend.
The suspend button appears and it goes to the lock screen, but It doesn’t enter ‘deep’ sleep.
I’ve updated to the latest bios (3.09) and have the latest kernel (i also tried a few older kernels to no effect).

the ‘hybrid-sleep’ command works as expected, but not standard sleep

according to chatgpt,
"Your firmware does not expose ACPI S3 sleep (“deep sleep”)

Look for this line in your dmesg output:

ACPI: PM: (supports S0 S4 S5)
"
It appears that ‘deep’ sleep mode is not supported for AMD which I find really hard to believe.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Use Client Challenge to triage it.

Deep sleep is indeed unsupported by AMD, only modern standby (s2idle) is.

6

OK thanks, if s2idle is more modern than deep sleep, and considering the laptop doesn’t go to any form of standby (unless you consider going to the lock screen as standby), then am I dealing with another issue, and if so do you have any ideas of where I can start looking?

I am on the same platform (7840u) and both suspend and hibernate work fine with Fedora 42 (Silverblue), I’d suggest trying a more recent kernel like 6.14 first.

8

Good news. I ran the amd-s2idle script. It helpfully told me that the legacy ‘deep’ argument in my GRUB file, specifically: mem_sleep_default=deep is incompatible with AMD, and should be removed. Sleep now works as expected when not trying to force it to use the deep mode.

This was clearly a side-effect of upgrading from an intel mainboard to AMD.

Cheers

Steve

I spoke too soon. Sleep appears to be working but i’ve had to hard-reset my laptop 6 times since yesterday, due to what appears to be hibernation issues. It hibernates fine, but when waking from hibernation, freezes. That is – black screen, black keyboard, power button on with solid light.

Journalctl tells be the below…

Any insights before I go buy a mac?

Upgrade to a newer kernel.

FTR 6.15 I’ve personally verified hibernate on Phoenix.
