The laptop used to resume correctly until about a month ago. Since then, sometimes, it freezes on resume.

  • Screen lock: i3lock

Here is the sequence of events:

  • The system is sleeping. The power button LED blinks slowly.
  • I press the power button
  • The power button LED stops blinking and stays on.

a) Here is what happens after when it resumes correctly:

  • The wifi LED turns on
  • The disk usage LED starts blinking
  • The lock screen wallpaper shows up
  • I can enter my password

b) Here is what happens after when it does not resume correctly:

  • The wifi LED stays off
  • The disk usage LED stays off
  • The screen stays black
  • I cannot enter my password
  • Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F<number> does not change TTY
  • Pressing NumLock does not change the NumLock LED
  • Pressing Fn+FnLock does change the FnLock LED
  • I have to press the Power button for several seconds to reset.

Questions:

  • What could be the cause of this issue?
  • I have no idea of what could cause this problem. What should I do to gain more insight about this problem?
  • How do I fix this problem?

The solution in this GitHub worked for me. I’ve been testing this for the past 7 days.

I ran this from Dom0 to resolve my issue:

# Check and note the current Release and Source
sudo dnf info xen-hypervisor

# Upgraded to xen-hypervisor-4.17.5-11.118.fc37 via this command
sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable --action=update xen-hypervisor

# Check and confirm upgraded Release and Source
sudo dnf info xen-hypervisor
