Hello.
I updated my bios yesterday and decided to do a whole fresh install of Arch also as I was having issues getting into the OS once that had been done. I've now got Arch on again and fully set up, but I cannot get it to enter sleep mode. When I press the button for it to sleep, the screen goes black for a second or two and then puts me to the lock screen. Everything else seems to work fine in regards to turning it on & off, restarting, or shutting down.
I have tried fixing this myself but I've had no success. I even tried asking Google Gemini just so I didn't have to post yet another issue here and that tried telling me to turn off Bluetooth, integrated camera, and memory card in the bios, after which it decided to tell me that the issue must be a USB port that is shorting out. I don't think it is this at all due to the fact that up until using this new install, they all worked fine with no issue and I had no problem getting it to sleep.
The only other thing I have tried aside from turning off the things in bios good old Gemini has told me to is switching the kernel from Linux to Linux-lts as I had lts before and I assumed maybe this was a bug in the base kernel but this too hasn't worked.
I do rely on sleep quite a bit as I prefer to leave this laptop turned on and in a state where I can lift the lid, press a button and carry on with what I was doing. I also intend to keep Arch on this laptop as I like how light and fast it is and using it feels like a great distro for learning about Linux on.
Any suggestions on what to do to get this working again?
