Hello,
I recently installed Fedora 40 (Lab Scientific) on a laptop with an ONKYO motherboard with an i5 M450 processor. With Fedora and any GNU/Linux that I had previously installed (Debian and Kubuntu), there was a problem with the suspend resource. The laptop turns off by itself and only it starts working again when I turn it on (pressing power button), it resumes working from the point where it stopped, but it does this action indefinitely. The computer’s BIOS is very simples (!) and it doesn’t have config suspend item available (!!). Or it is hidden and I don’t still found it. I solved this problem via GRUB by disabling suspend.
After that, the installation went on normally. However, when I started it and tried to log in, I needed to insert many times password to entry finally in the system. When I insert password the system seems to start process to entry in gui but go back for login screen many times. When I finally entry in the system I don’t have any more problems.
I observed that the last screen in which I managed to get in seems to be block screen.
I know that this laptop is old but I want to give this laptop for my daughter to study. Linux has many free educations resources that Windows doesn’t have. It is what I have to give for now.
What am I doing wrong and how can I solve this problem? Is there any configuration that can fix this?
I posted this problem in “Ask Fedora # problem” but only a person answered (George)!!
