Hello there,
after I finally got my hands on my new ThinkPad A485, I decided to install my usual Gentoo setup (i3wm etc.) on it. However, before that I did test how good the general Linux support is on the machine with Fedora 29 and I was amazed at how everything just seemed to work (including the issue I am about to describe). But since Fedora is not my cup of tea anymore, I need to make Gentoo work
Now the issue I have, where I hope someone might have experience in or have an idea what it might be, is powering off after initiating hibernate. When I activate hibernation through the kernel (under the hood itās as simple as echo disk > /sys/power/state
) the screen turns off and the system seems to turn off the hardware as well, but not actually power off. I can still hear the fan spin and the power LED in the power button is still on too.
In order to get the machine to turn off completely, I need to keep the power button pressed until the power LED goes out. When I turn the system on again, everything seems normal and the kernel is loading the hibernation image properly and the system is fully awake again.
Iām not sure what is causing this and I found a few sources that suggest adding kernel parameters such as acpi=force
or apm=power_off
to GRUBās CMDLINE_LINUX
, but neither work after grub-mkconfig
and a reboot.
Does anyone have an idea, what the issue might be?
Thanks!
