Hi, I am having trouble waking up my Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 from sleep on Linux. The laptop goes to sleep as usual. When I try to wake it up by either pressing the keyboard or the power button, the fans spins up, keyboard lights up and the screen just stays black. To use the laptop again I have to force shut down it, by holding down the power button. This issue persists on Fedora 41, 42, Ubuntu 22, 24 and in Cosmic OS. I am asking here as I prefer Fedora.
The following is what I have tried, but nothing changed:
- CTRL + ALT + F2, then CTRL + ALT + F1 during a black screen, but I can see that the keyboard doesn’t respond, as neither Caps Lock nor Num Lock responds to being pressed.
- Plugging in an external USB keyboard and HDMI monitor
- Updated BIOS (Tried multiple versions), Ie
pqcn10ww,pqcn13ww,pqcn20wwandpqcn23ww. - Entered BIOS advanced settings and switch between modern standby mode and S3 legacy. Advanced settings were entered by pressing FN, then R, then N, two times, then F10 and immediately re-enter BIOS. Using
cat /sys/power/mem_sleepshows that the system changes froms2idletodeepmode. - Modifiying
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUXline in the grub file by includingacpi.ec_no_wakeup=1, as described by this: [SOLVED] Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 periodically does not wake up after opening the lid - Switching to different Nvidia Drivers, ie 535, 550, 570 and 575. Currently I am running 575.57.08
- Tried to enable user session suspending: NVIDIA 575 drivers fail to suspend
The output from cat /sys/power/mem_sleep and cat /sys/power/state:
$ cat sys/power/mem_sleep
s2idle [deep]
$ cat sys/power/state
freeze mem disk
Running journalctl -b -1 | grep -i "suspend\|sleep\|hibernat" results in the following log:

The only make shift solution I have found is to just not allow the laptop to enter sleep mode at all by either disabling suspend with:
sudo systemctl disable nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-resume.service nvidia-hibernate.service
Or by adding exit 0 in the /usr/bin/nvidia-sleep.sh file:
#!/usr/bin/bash
## Inserted “exit 0” line
exit 0
if [ ! -f /proc/driver/nvidia/suspend ]; then
exit 0
fi
Although neither of these solutions are good, as the laptop is essentially still operating fully, meaning that it runs HOT in my backpack, and the battery usage isn’t limited when I don’t need it running. I can’t shutdown my laptop either, as I am often switching locations using the same set of applications. Suspend works flawlessly in Windows, but not on Linux.
Where do I go from here?
