'08 MacBook will not wake from sleep

29 September 2021, 05:15:28

Hello all,

I recently switched to Artix Linux from Fedora, and I am enjoying it so far. However, there is one issue that is giving me a lot of trouble.

Sometimes when my laptop goes to sleep, it will not wake up. Opening the laptop does not wake it up, and the power button does not wake it up. Usually this does not happen, but eventually it does and the only way I can resolve it is a hard reboot.

I did not have this issue at all on Fedora.

I suspect it is an elogind issue, but it could also be a runit issue?

It is a 2008 MacBook with an SSD upgrade.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you @strajder so far I've read through those links, installed acpi and linux-lts. I have not had the issue of failing to resume, but I'll give it some time.

Any suggestions of logs that I could check for useful information?

Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. I just had another failure to resume. Where should I look first? I am happy to upload any logs that might be relevant.

Try other kernels, start with linux-lts.

Thank you @nous . I did try linux-lts, I think I will just live with it for now.
