Did anyone manage to get suspend to work?

71

Thanks.

In general, I put Manjaro gnome. Updated to kernel 5.19

command terminal:

sudo pacman -S linux519

The sound didnā€™t work. But then I remembered. What you need to download this and everything will work after restarting the sound.

So the sound seems to ā€œworkā€ with kernel 5.19.

Two ways to set it up:

  • If you go in alsamixer, press F6, switch to the right audio card, slide everything up, the sound now works, but is quiet.
  • Install the alsa_restore from the above github repository. The sound now works, but is still quiet.

What you can do to boost the sound level by 53% is one of the following (Iā€™m on manjaro gnome)

  • go to the package manager and install one of the pulseaudio volume control packages. Then open it up, and pull the volume slider all the way to the right for a resulting 153%
  • Run the following commands:
    pacmd list-sinks
    Then you have to choose the right index, in my case it was 0, then run:
    pacmd set-sink-volume 0 100000
    this also boosts the volume up to 153%.

You can try boosting it more by setting numbers higher than 100000. I tried this, and the sound became distorted at higher values. So I donā€™t recommend this.

After playing a few videos with this change, the speakers are useable on linux in my opinion.

So now the last thing that is left is suspendā€¦ :slight_smile:

I havenā€™t tried on manjaro but shouldnā€™t matter.
Iā€™m on EndeavourOS and it is enough to go to alsamixer ā†’ F6 to switch to sof-essx8336 ā†’ Unmute the first slider ā€œHeadphoneā€ by pressing ā€œmā€ and pull it up to max. A normal youtube video is loud enough that I have the system volume via the buttons only at about 50% without any distortion

75

In Manjaro with kernel 6.0 the sound works if you use PipeWire and boost the sound through alsamixer

Suspend finally works now! Tested on kernel 6.3.9 on EndeavourOS with Gnome Wayland.

Sometimes my system freezes, though Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s related.

Hello! As of now, the situation is as follows: on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, almost everything is working except for touch functionality and screen rotation.

Solution for Screen Rotation on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (Xorg)
Hereā€™s a working method to fix screen rotation and touchscreen issues on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS with Xorg. This solution may also be useful on other Linux distributions. I recommend trying the commands from the first script one by one after a 5-second delay to check if they work on your system.

Disclaimer: This is a ā€œworkaroundā€ that currently only functions under Xorg. I havenā€™t tested it on other distributions and was unable to get it working with Wayland. Iā€™ll continue to look for a Wayland-specific solution by exploring touchscreen configuration options. This method isnā€™t perfect and was tailored for my specific situation, but itā€™s a functional starting point.

Initial Startup Script (fix_startup_orientation.sh)

This script performs a one-time adjustment to ensure the screen always boots into the correct horizontal orientation.

fix_startup_orientation.sh 
#!/bin/sh

# Wait for the X server to be ready
sleep 5 

# Rotate the screen to the correct horizontal orientation
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate left 

# Calibrate the touchscreen for the new orientation
xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Calibration Matrix" -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1

Automatic Rotation Script (auto-rotate.sh)

This script runs in the background and continuously reads sensor data to provide real-time automatic screen rotation.

auto-rotate.sh 
#!/bin/sh

# This script automatically rotates the screen based on sensor data.

# Wait for the display to be ready
sleep 5

# Infinite loop to monitor the sensor
while true; do
  # Get sensor orientation
  ORIENTATION=$(monitor-sensor | grep -E "accelerometer_event" | tail -n 1)

  if echo "$ORIENTATION" | grep "right-up" >/dev/null; then
    xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right
    xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Calibration Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
  elif echo "$ORIENTATION" | grep "normal" >/dev/null; then
    xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate normal
    xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Calibration Matrix" 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
  elif echo "$ORIENTATION" | grep "bottom-up" >/dev/null; then
    xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate inverted
    xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Calibration Matrix" -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1
  elif echo "$ORIENTATION" | grep "left-up" >/dev/null; then
    xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate left
    xinput set-prop 15 "libinput Calibration Matrix" 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1
  fi

  # Wait one second before checking again
  sleep 1
done

exit 0

How to Add Scripts to Startup

Use GNOMEā€™s built-in graphical tool to add both scripts to your startup applications.

Startup 
1. Open the Startup Applications application from the main menu.

2. Click the "Add" button for each script.

3. For the fix_startup_orientation.sh script, fill out the fields as follows:

      Name: Fix Startup Orientation

      Command: /usr/local/bin/fix_startup_orientation.sh

      Comment: Corrects screen and touchscreen orientation on system startup.

4. Click "Add" and repeat the process for the second script.

5. For the auto-rotate.sh script, fill out the fields as follows:

      Name: Auto-Rotate Screen

      Command: /usr/local/bin/auto-rotate.sh

      Comment: Enables real-time automatic screen rotation.

6. Click "Add" and close the window.
Additional Notes 
The touchscreen will not work in the login window after booting. However, if you lock and then unlock the screen, the touchscreen will become functional. It's a strange behavior, but it's what's currently working.

The following features are working for me: sound, Bluetooth, virtual keyboard (when needed), and Wi-Fi. I haven't had time to test other functionalities.
