Hello everyone, I have a recurring issue when waking up my laptop from suspend (closing the lid) and I haven’t been able to solve it. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hardware:

  • ASUS VivoBook X515EAU

  • Intel i5-1135G7, integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics

  • 8GB RAM

Software:

  • Fedora 44 Workstation, GNOME 50.3

  • Kernel 7.1.5-200.fc44.x86_64

  • Mutter 50.3-3.fc44

Issue: When closing the lid and opening it again, the interface loads (I see the wallpaper and the cursor), but when I try to enter my password, it throws an “Authentication Error” and won’t let me do anything else. The keyboard and mouse do respond (the cursor moves), but I cannot type the password correctly, nor can I switch to a TTY with Ctrl+Alt+F3 (it doesn’t respond either). The only workaround is to force a shutdown using the power button.Hello everyone, I have a recurring issue when waking up my laptop from suspend (closing the lid) and I haven’t been able to solve it.

can you post output of cat /sys/power/mem_sleep.

Have you checked journalctl -b -1 for errors? This will display the journal of the previous session (reproduce the crash first). SHIFT-G jumps to the last line of the journal.

  • can you ssh from another system after resume?
  • can you reproduce by using systemctl suspend instead and leaving the lid open?
  • verify that the latest BIOS is installed on this system.
