Everything killed after waking from sleep or opening lid.

njakes

I am running a Legion 5 laptop with an NVIDIA gpu. While on Budgie, everything open is killed when the laptop either sleeps or close the lid. I have not tested this on either GNOME or Plasma so am unsure of what it could be. I have 24GB of ram and 8GB of swap so am unsure if not having an "equal swap" size could affect this. I hope someone has some insight.

I do not use Solus on a laptop, hence cannot help you much. In the help center, this page exists which shows a list of all laptops that are found to be working correctly with Solus. and your Legion 5 isnt in the list( yet).

Also what exactly do you mean by 'everything killed'? is it installed applications that are killed or something else?

adding to this: since you mentioned that you have an nvidia gpu,have you verified that your drivers are latest? I never have such problems on my intel uhd 630.

please wait until someone with the knowledge of the matter replies to you. 🙂

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, anything that is currently open and running will be killed on suspend. In my case recently the main things have been: Firefox, Nautilus, a running game, and even Steam launched but minimized to the system tray. It's as if waking from suspend is starting a fresh session like logging out and back in.

I've just experienced the same problem with my laptop. I have an HP envy 13 and I'm running the gnome edition. It seems to happen after each wake up.

btw I don't have a swap partition assigned

Epicreator btw I don't have a swap partition assigned

Then, do you have a swap file?

Epicreator

I've created a swap partition afterwards but the problem remains with budgie and gnome. Only with the Mate DE it's not occuring.

It's hard to say without any experience in gnome shell but this could be an upstream problem. I am finding some things that are similar in gnome shell but am not sure if they are the same issue. The issues I am seeing are from a year ago.

The same thing happens to me after 4.3. I do have a swap partition, and I am using the same laptop I used with previous version and didn't happen.
I know my laptop it's not on the compatible laptops but it used to work perfectly with 4.2 and previous versions, with the new 4.3 I have encounter a few issues that didn't occurred before.

I'll add this here since I cant see how to edit the original post. I am using the nvidia-beta-drivers with 32 bit.

Small update. I just resumed from sleep and everything was fine. Just out of curiosity I suspended via the power menu on budgie and then woke it. It flashed the desktop with everything there then dropped to the blue ttl interface, flashed then showed the login page. I logged in and the shell had started fresh again with everything gone. So I guess it is sometimes crashing on waking up. It hadn't been that long though so the screen could have just locked and not actually suspended initially this time.

njakes In my case is when I leave it on sleep for a while, few hours.

Hey guys, removing the proprietary nvidia drivers with doflicky solved the issue for me after reboot.

Epicreator

Epicreator maybe there are some issues with intel onboard graphics and nvidia proprietary causing this behavior

Do you experience the issue immediately after wake-up or do you get back your session for a short time and it then kills the session and you're back to the login?
I have such issue since beginning of this year and couldn't find the root cause until now. Currently it's less frequent, but it also seems to depend on the software running when suspending the laptop (e.g. more frequent with Brave or VS Code). There's an open ticket https://dev.getsol.us/T9592 for this kind of issue, but no progress since the root caus is unclear.

Epicreator

palto42 Second, like u described. I've got back to the session and then again to the login screen. I had to type my password twice and all programs were gone. Now it just works fine without the proprietary drivers. With the Mate Login it also doesn't happen with proprietary drivers.

palto42

Epicreator I have no proprietary drivers installed, my laptop has an ATI MobilityRadeon HD5650 (AMD). So currently no fix for me as long as I use Budgie.

I dont have a swap partition on my Lenovo Ideapad S340.
Both suspend and hibernate work as it should.
The laptop has a Ryzen processor with built in graphic processor.
Maybe your problem is with the Nvidia driver since i have no problem.

could be, mesa users do not have this problem.

Can anyone from the dev team shed some light on a possible fix for this? I really really want to stay on Budgie but just can if it keeps killing everything on suspend. I'd love to help by trying anything if I can. Could it possibly be a swap size issue? I currently have 8 GB of swap and 24GB of memory.

njakes I currently have 8 GB of swap and 24GB of memory.

That would only make a difference if more than 8 GB were in use when you tried to suspend. Having swap larger than RAM would be ideal, so you could safely use it in all possible cases.
