Zorin Suspend/Sleep Not Working on AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics

[njmulsqb]

Hi,

I just installed Zorin OS on a AMD Processor HP laptop, here's the config:

The issue is that whenever I close the lid (suspend) and re-open the login screen shows block icons / sometimes blank and becomes unresponsive. The only fix is to restart the machine which is very annoying.

I have tried multiple fixes under the hood:

• Disabling Wayland
• Checking disk using fsck and smartctl (all good)
• Tinkering with Grub file
• Updating Zorin to latest version
• ...

But nothing seems to work. Win + L to lock the laptop works okay, so I edited config to lock instead of suspend on laptop close lid but that after sometime suspends as well and we're back to square one.

Please help with this.

Try to go manually into suspend by pressing the button in start menu and disable the automatic suspend. Some computers have problems with suspend mode in Linux.

PC freezes after suspending

Hi, when I suspend my convertible laptop or simply close the screen, when I go to wake it up it turns on again but with the zorin desktop all blocked, so to solve I have to forcefully restart it. How do I solve this bug? The convertible laptop is a HP detachable x2 with Zorin OS 17 Lite installed. Thanks in advance to anyone who will answer me.

What an excellent suggestion @applecheeks37 , you found where the hidden setting lie. This feature has caused me so much grief for years! Finally a resolution to the issue! [Disable Lid Switch Suspend In Dconf Editor] In order to make this change, I had to click on these two, turn off the toggle, then select from the drop-down boxes, BLANK. Then all I had to do, was click on APPLY after. For those who use laptops as desktops like me, we are eternally grateful. [Startreker Signatu…

To go in the Settings of this, You have to install Dconf Editor first with the Terminal Command sudo apt install dconf-editor and then open it and go to the Settings like described.

Another option is to edit

You can set the lidclose to poweroff or ignore here.

This worked but it's just a workaround not a solution. I prefer to have normal suspend working in Zorin.

As this is primarily a Linux Kernel issue, workarounds are all we have unless we want to patch and contribute to the mainline kernel team...
