(SOLVED) OpenSuse TW Not Suspending Properly on Gnome But Sleeps Properly on KDE (Follow Up)
I made a post yesterday about how I got a new laptop and it does not suspend properly and just goes to a black screen where my only option is to force shut it down by holding the power button.
After an entire day I still have not figured it out. But, I did narrow it down. TLP, drivers (it's all open source AMD), small swap partition, etc, are not the issue. After two reinstalls, I decided to install it with KDE just out of curiosity to see if it still has the problems and nope. Works just fine. Now I went ahead and installed Gnome on top of the KDE install and once again, if I try to suspend through Gnome, it fails to do so and gives me a black screen where nothing is responsive.
What could be the cause of this? I also tried running on Xorg and the problem still persisted. But I'm pretty sure by now that it is a Gnome problem and not a device problem.
If you want more context you can check out my previous post. Any inputs or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Turns out the official OpenSuse build of kernel 6.7.6-11 does not sit well with my laptop and instead downloading and using a community version of the kernel posted on software.opensuse.org ended up fixing the issue. Very odd.
Also have an AMD laptop. This started happening some kernel versions ago. Try closing your laptop again and opening it. It's dumb, but that worked for me.
