Hibernate broken after update

DasJott

For years that I have been using Solus I always used Hibernate in the evening to wake my machine up next day exactly as I left it.
I created a swap partition big enough back then and it always worked just perfectly.

Since last Monday when I installed updates, this doesn't work anymore. I can send the laptop to hibernate and next morning it comes back showing only a dark grey screen and that's it.

Something must have been broken on the update I guess. There are no other changes on the machine.

It is a Dell XPS-13 9300 (2020). Any ideas around?

DasJott A new round of updates was just released to Stable. Maybe one of the fixes in e.g. the kernel takes care of that issue?

Just tried it. Installed all updates, rebooted, then opened a Terminal and hibernated.

After startup it sadly was the same issue 🙁
It seems to stop right before the login screen.

There are also some other problems I noticed with Solus recently, such as:

once the (touchable) monitor was touched, the mouse pointer vanishes and randomly comes back or stays invisible
Sometimes the password input on lock screen is disabled so there is no chance to log back in.

I have been using Solus for almost 3 years now, because it was always stable as no other distro!
Something must have happened the last months. Suddenly bugs appear here and there...

DasJott What desktop environment are you using?

I am using Budgie ever since I use Solus.

Well, it remains to check if the problem exists on linux-lts. Because you are on linux-current I guess?
uname -a

No problems for me, I use Plasma with the new kernel (thanks to the Solus team)

Hello all ! Same issue here. Before updating, suspend from hibernation was working fine. Kernel 6.1.5-229.current

I am not on Solus anymore, instead I moved to Fedora on my working machine.
BUT - interesting thing is:
Hibernation was also not working there until some of the subsequent updates fixed it. So it was either the Intel video driver or the kernel or both, I guess. It should be fixed by now. At least it suddenly started to work again on Fedora.

So, now you can come back and join the Solus community again!

DasJott Sounds like some kernel update had a regression and a subsequent update fixed that.

Since the last 2 updates, my keyboard does not work when i'm in the Bios menu, the arrow keys do not respond, nor the F-keys except F-6. also, i took screenshot because the power management is not on/working. Any help?

That doesn't sound like a Solus issue then. Or do you mean the GRUB/systemd-boot menu or something like that (i.e. where you select your kernel version / OS)

I would encourage you two to create a bug report on our dev tracker with as much detail as you can provide (after searching it for similar already reported issues)

Hibernate is also not available on my Budgie-Solus for the last 2 updates

I self fixed the issue. As odd as this sounds, keyboards wear out as mine has, and regular feeding of fried rice with oil on the rice, and potato chip/cracker crumbs is actually bad for a keyboard also. Issue was fixed with buying a new KB, which to my dismay has doubled in price since i bought the last one several years ago. Issue (for me) is fixed/solved. For reference, the brand is a Azio large font backlit, solid colors only ( changeable with buttons on KB ), was $19 USD on Amazon, now almost $39 USD.
