Help: Pinebook Pro will not enter sleep [Manjaro 20.04]
#1
Question 
Hello, I just received my Pinebook Pro yesterday which is the latest Manjaro branded version using the most current Manjaro ARM KDE 20.04 release. I finally finished installing & configuring all of my software/settings and thought I would test the machine - everything seems to work fine except SLEEP! (I also have a thread open about this issue on Manjaro forums since I'm not sure which would be the better place)

I have researched online and see a few others have encountered similar issues, but I wasn't able to find a fix that worked for me. Also, I haven't made any configuration changes or messed with suspend modes - I am fine with using s2idle, just want the screen to shut off and sleep when I close the laptop lid!

The crux of the issue is that the laptop starts to go to sleep, then it wakes immediately after - whether closing the lid, pressing the power button and choosing "sleep", or typing into terminal: "systemctl suspend". Long story short, it appears that either the dwmmc_rockchip [fe310000.mmc: pre_suspend failed for non-removable host: -38], or Device ff9a0000.gpu [failed to suspend: error -16] are causing the machine to abort going to sleep. Attached are the full logs:

This suspend issue is happening on my eMMC main installation, but also happens on a fresh SD card install of Manjaro ARM KDE 20.04 as well with the same error messages as above. Also, interesting to note that this Pinebook Pro also has actually successfully entered sleep state before - it will randomly work maybe 5% of the time, which hopefully is a good sign this is a software issue that can be fixed.

Loving this little machine other than this issue - Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Facing the same thing here with the default Manjaro installation and all the updates installed.

It's mostly annoying as I can't trust closing the lid will enter sleep. So I've now resorted to first put the machine to sleep a few times until it actually sleeps, and then close the lid. Which is less than ideal.

If a solution is found, I'd be keen to try it Smile

I don't know if it helps but I noticed that if after using the laptop for a while I kill pulseaudio, I've been able to sleep on first try every time.

What I'm doing is: pulseaudio -k

It should be safe as pulseaudio should auto-restart.

I've started doing this as on occasion my audio stack completely dies and I get no audio from videos, etc. But killing pulseaudio solves that issue, and seems to have been solving the sleep issue for me too.

Nevermind my post above... It happened again right after I had done a pulseaudio -k ... so definitely unrelated.

Ah... this explains why my PBP has a depleted battery in the morning when I wake up... :p

Yep, just got my PBP Saturday, and noticed today that the device won't go to sleep, whether on or off AC. I don't really know if an update caused the issue or not, as I downloaded updates within the first 15 minutes of starting the machine up (after I figured out that wifi was disabled on the hardware).

AFAIK, it's one of the last real 'known issue' bugs waiting to be put to rest. Usually sleep works only once for me... the first time I use it. After waking up the PBP, it won't go to sleep, usually with the `ff9a0000.gpu` device waking it up again/preventing it from sleeping. I haven't seen the `fe310000.mmc` one before, which IIRC is the WiFi card. I haven't tried repeatedly putting it to sleep, so I don't what if there are other tricks like killing pulseaudio, etc. that will make it more likely to behave. So rest assured, it's not just you, and it's not a new behaviour! I think the Manjaro guys were a bit naughty, it was a known issue in 19.12 (Suspend does not work on the Pinebook Pro), and fell off the list in the 20.02/20.04 release notes, even though it still isn't stable/reliable.

On the default Manjaro + KDE; when I tried to suspend. The GPU woke up and prevented the suspend.
I tried Kali and exactly the same issue.

I tried Manjaro + XFCE and it suspends no problem. The issue is that it's Suspend to Idle. It's practically worthless as a suspend because it's still burning 4%/battery/hour.

When I configure for Deep suspend to ram (which is the ideal option) it does seem to go into deep suspend; but then I cannot unsuspend and similarly need to hold power button to shutdown.

To get s3 to work correctly, replace the mainline u-boot on your install with the BSP u-boot from mrfixit's v2 branch. There's a link in the wiki to the files.

I noticed this too - closing the lid usually doesn't suspend. Manually selecting the "suspend to RAM" action from the KDE menu sometimes works.

Is there anywhere else where I can follow progress and potentially help testing fixes/workarounds? Maybe with the Manjaro or KDE Plasma folks?
