Hi all!

I recently installed Tuxedo OS with KDE and Wayland. I’m fairly new to Linux and, so far, the distro is great. With one caveat.

As far as power options go, everything works fine EXCEPT for Sleep. I can put the PC to sleep, but when I wake it up, I land on the login screen wallpaper with the login/password fields barely visible, as if frozen around the second frame of a fade-in animation.

Nothing works. The mouse cursor doesn’t move, the keyboard doesn’t do anything. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button until the PC shuts down and then turn it back on again.

I did some digging, but couldn’t find a solution. Some threads mentioned modifying something in systemd, but those were from years ago, so I didn’t want to risk that.

One fairly recent thread had a proposed solution of adding "mem_sleep_default=deep" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

That didn’t work for me, though.

I’d love to fix this, but I’m out of ideas. Any help welcome!

EDIT

Forgot it might be a driver issue, people were complaining about Nvidia gear!

I currently don’t have a dedicated GPU. I only have Ryzen 7 7800X3D running on MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI ATX AM5 MoBo.

    Most graphical system updaters (e.g Discover) use packagekit instead of calling on apt directly. This may lead to them having conflicting list of upgradable packages. Updating through either way will eventually refresh the cache and things will go back to normal.

    I have never had to share a computer with other people, so can’t really comment on that.

    I did try messing around with my Plasma desktop to try and replicate that, but did not find that option. Though, I am sure that’s configurable and you changed it accidentally. You should ask around KDE forums about that.

    I understand your frustration as an end-user, coming from other operating systems. But, you should keep in mind that Linux is just the kernel and it was made to be as modular as possible. Since you can use it with many different desktops, there needs to be a common way apps from those desktops can perform this. I believe Gnome can do this graphically through its Disks utility, which just edits the /etc/fstab file in the background. You could request this feature from the KDE developers though.

    Edit: sorry, I now remember KDE Partition Manager and it can do the same, like Gnome Disks.

    Since you are new to Linux, the differences Fedora and Ubuntu will have for you will come down to the package manager (dnf vs. apt), and since you prefer to update your system graphically, you shouldn’t notice any difference.

    You can find your kernel version by searching “About this System” in KDE Plasma, or using the following command:

    $ uname -r

    The latest version of the kernel can be found in the official website of the Linux kernel.
