Suspend doesn’t work.

Not been able to try wifi, camera, microphone

Does the bios/firmware support changing suspend from S0ix to S3?

The current version of Qubes doesn’t support the S0ix mode, but it should get fixed in a future release.

I don’t know much about these things but apparently S0ix depends on IME and as Star Books come with IME turned off by default, it must be S3.

What about 6.1 kernel (kernel-latest package)? Suspend does work on MK V.
What’s the exact behavior? Does it go to sleep (but has issues on resume), or doesn’t go to sleep at all?

OK editing this post, managed to update to kernel 6.1 now.

6.0.12 on this machine causes graphics issues but 6.1 seems fine.

Yes, with 6.1 suspend works. The problem was the waking up again after but that’s now fixed.

add --action=update to the command

Thank you, wish I had known that an hour ago but got there in the end.

@marmarek after a re-install I find that kernel-latest messes up the graphics. Not sure why it worked before. Kernel 5.15 doesn’t have that issue but then suspend doesn’t work so it would be nice to have the latest kernel. Any ideas?

# Intel Integrated Graphics Troubleshooting

## Software Rendering or Video Lags

If you are experiencing this issue, you will see extremely slow graphics
updates.  You will be able to watch the screen and elements paint slowly from
top to bottom.  You can confirm this is the issue by looking for a line similar
to the following in your `/var/log/Xorg.0.log` file:

    [   131.769] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Newer versions of the Linux kernel have renamed the `i915.alpha_support=1`
option (which was originally called `i915.preliminary_hw_support=1`) to
`i915.force_probe=*`, so if you needed this kernel option in the past you will
have to rename it or add it to your configuration files (follow either GRUB2 or
EFI, not both):

 * GRUB2: `/etc/default/grub`, `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX` line and
   Rebuild grub config (`grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`)

Thank you @sheepskin for your HCL report, which is online now!

Sorry for the delay!

sheepskin · January 28, 2023, 9:25am

Thank you.
I have been able to test microphone and webcam now (both fine) and have had no problems with either wifi or ethernet. There is a lot of fan noise, which Star Labs have promised to try and fix via a firmware update soon.
