Isn’t that controlled by a BIOS setting on the 11 gen? On this 11 gen system for example (Fedora 38 with BIOS 3.17 and the that wake on AC option disabled), I’ve never seen this behavior.
Editing: I hadn’t used the power on when AC attached option and had mis-remembered what it does. It doesn’t apply to resuming.
Anyway, just for posterity, the steps below are the same, so resume-on-AC-attach does not appear to be a thing on 11th gen (and more recent comments below suggest it can be traced to AMD-specific EC source code anyway - so, misunderstanding corrected).
Just tested now:
Unplug charger (from the machine’s USB-C port)
Suspend (power button or lid close)
Plug charger in
Still suspended
Unplug, wait, plug in
Still suspended (when suspend was byby lid close, “verified” by observing WLAN reconnect on lid open, so timed consistent with laptop suspended throughout the lid closed time)
One theory I have is that this code in the EC may be causing an additional interrupt to the host on wake:
When we go from S0i3 to S0ix, the EC will send some dummy key presses to the host so the keyboard will keep working. This may cause the host to wake up to screen on, and stay there.
The second line disables the keyboard from waking the PC, which fixes the lid waking the machine (along with the first line) AND the AC being plugged in (which sends a keyboard wakeup as well). You lose the keyboard wake-ups but the touchpad and everything else work fine.
I noticed you linked to your GitHub. Is there a guide for consumers to customize and flash their own EC? I haven’t done the research yet.
Thank you for this! Using the second rule makes suspend work as expected on Debian Testing. That is, I can close the lid, automatically suspend, unplug and plug power without waking, then open the lid and have the machine wake.
I can also sleep from menu, close the lid and the machine will not wake, just from the second rule. It seems plug/unplug sending keycodes is the problem here.
Echoing the success of others in this thread - adding the second udev rule listed above to disable waking by keyboard keeps the laptop from fully waking up from power plug/unplug. Is this function in the EC necessary for all systems, or is it just a workaround for a specific setup? I ask because I think that this side-effect (waking for power events unnecessarily) is undesirable and am curious if it may be properly fixable further down the line so that we don’t have to just disable waking by keyboard (not the end of the world, but I’d rather have it than not).
The second udev rule by @Enzious seems to be working around the wake up from plugging/unplugging power as well as waking up by closing the lid when already in standby for me. udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger was seemingly not enough to apply it instantly, a reboot did the trick on Arch.
If I may ask — has there been any movement on this fix landing upstream?
I am aware that there is a udev workaround, and a user workaround whereby I don’t suspend the laptop before closing the lid.
The problem for me is that I don’t trust my machines to do that. I’ve used linux for over 10 years, and I have a deep-seated mistrust of suspend just not working properly on lid close.
I’ve sent this patch series to the mailing list to add a workaround in the kernel for the EC behavior (at least with BIOS 03.03). I would expect there is no need for a udev rule with this in place.
If you prefer the old behavior (which allows “real” wake from keyboard to work) and have this patch, there is a module parameter you can put on your kernel command line amd_pmc.disable_workarounds=1.
I received and installed my new AMD mainboard/RAM/Wificard, and lid closing going to suspend seemed to work fine until today I think. Fedora 39, might be the new kernel? Either way, not a huge deal to suspend then close the lid, but still.
Turns out when swapping mainboards I broke the little latch for the audio board (thankfully on that site and not the mainboard) so I ordered a new one. I bet that’ll fix it, since I think the lid sensor is on that lil board.
