Strange sleep behavior - need troubleshooting help

Ask Fedora
1

When I put the computer into sleep mode, the computer initially goes into sleep mode but then the fans kick back on, the monitors stay off, and I can’t wake the computer up fully (beyond the fans running). I have not done anything out of the ordinary to make this happen that I am aware of. The issue started after I updated the system (I have been keeping very current with all of fedora’s updates available in Discover), and the only notable thing after that is I used protonup-qt to get proton GE injected into Steam.

Any help would be great, and I am not afraid to get into the konsole and do stuff but I am not very capable on my own and require hand holding for work in the konsole.

It’s probably a kernel regression. Can you suspend the system when the previous kernel version is active?

I am not sure what you mean by regression in this context. I just tried putting it to sleep while booted into the oldest kernel version available on my system, 6.19.8, and the problem persists there too. I did not before, so I am guessing it is not a kernel issue?

I updated to Kernel Version 6.19.11-200 just after posting last night. Problem persists on the newest kernel version as well.

A regression, in this context, means that the Kernel has gone foward in technology and numbers, but a fault has been introduced at the same time. That fault is the ‘regression’.

Thanks for that explanation. I guess since the problem persists on the older versions I have available in my grub menu, then we can rule out regression.
