Ubuntu 19.10 Laptop wakes up immediately after suspend

Question

When I try to suspend my Ubuntu ASUS laptop, it immediately wakes up. The laptop is a few months old and as far as I can remember, I've always had the issue. I tried to solve this problem with numerous solutions, but none worked.

I already tried to set all the fields in the /proc/acpi/wakeup file to disabled. I also tried to disable my secondary Nvidia graphics card because I've seen that it may be an issue (I'm not sure if I actually succeeded in doing that but I don't know how to check that).

dmesg output :

How can I solve this problem ? Any information on how to debug this situation is welcome.

Answer 1

This happened to me after an update of Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute Hippo. The problem was nvidia graphics card and installed CUDA.

To fix the issue, disable CUDA repository in Software Updater. Image of software updater

Update nvidia drivers.

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-[your drive number]

If you don't know your driver number, check your installed drivers.

apt list -i | grep nvidia

Enable these services in systemd.

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service

Answer 2

I had this issue when bluetooth was on. Try turning it off and suspend.

Run systemctl disable bluetooth to keep bluetooth off on the reboots. You can still manually enable as needed.

Answer 3

Had this issue and I struggled to to find the source for a few days. My solution was to first search the log journalctl -b | grep suspend

I found the following:

PM: Device 0000:05:00.0 failed to suspend async: error 1

This line provided the device address that created this issue Than I used lspci to identify the device 05:00.0 ASmedia usb 3.1

Using lspci shows the actucal names of devices by address and In my case I remembers seing this on my ASRock Bios so I rebooted disables the support for ASmedia usb 3.1 and my Desktop suspended successfuly.

My case is uniqe to me but might help other identify the issue
