Dear Thorsten!

Thank you for your quick response!

Now that you gave me the advice to check dmesg I found out that the messages are the same with kernel version 5.16.10 and 5.16.12. But - as I described - with kernel version 5.16.10 I had to press the power button to resume from suspend. So I my conclusion that my laptop does not go to suspend ist apparently wrong. In any case you find excerpts from dmesg with both kernel versions attached.

Now there is one thing I really would like to understand. Concluding from the time stamps in dmesg it seems that my laptop goes to suspend only for a moment right before I re-open the lid. Of course I did not close my laptop lid only for 3 seconds - as it could be concluded from the time stamps for "PM: suspend entry (s2idle)" and "PM: suspend exit" - but for a longer period of time. Can you please enlighten me about that?


Thank you and best regards,

Reinhold

I am using Linux Mint Xfce 20.3 with kernel version 5.16. I had to use

lid.

With kernel 5.16 my laptop perfectly went to to suspend when I closed
the lid and it perfectly resumed, when I opened the lid again. This
means: I had to press the power button once

That sounds odd to me, as most modern Laptops wake up automatically when
you open the lid. It's unlikely, but maybe that just that started to
work now?

when I reopened the lid -
and then the laptop resumed (to the login screen). This was true until
kernel version 5.16.10. With kernel version > 5.16.10 my laptop does
not go into suspend anymore. This means: When I open the lid I am back
at the login screen immediately (I don't have to press the power button
anymore).

You want to check dmesg if the system really didn't go to sleep; it will
likely also provide a hint of what went wrong. Just upload the output
(generated after a fresh start and where you suspend and resume once the
system booted) somewhere and send us a link or sent it as an attachment
in a reply. If that doesn't provide any hints of what might be wrong,
you might need to find the change that introduced the problem using a
bisection.

HTH, Ciao, Thorsten
