I have installed Linux Lite 4.8 on an HP 350 G2.  Everything seems to work fine except for waking from the suspended state.
I have set the computer to blank the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity and suspend after 30 minutes on both power and battery.
The screen goes blank as it should after 5 minutes, then after 30 minutes it suspends and the power light starts flashing.
If I now try to wake it up by touching the mouse pad, what happens is that the power light stops flashing, but the screen stays dark.  I have to touch the mouse pad again to make the screen turn on.

So I have to touch the mouse twice to wake it up every time.

This may seem like a small thing, but it is still annoying.  I would like the computer to wake from sleep and turn the screen back on with a single touch of the mouse.

Can anyone please suggest a fix, or at least a way of finding out why the screen doesn't turn on when the mouse is first touched?

I have already tried to fix it by putting:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c "xrandr -d :0 --output eDP-1 --auto"
in a systemd service file "After=suspend.target", which seemed like a good idea, but soon discovered that the command was not being executed on wake after suspend.

UPDATE
I have now discovered that if I put startx in the systemd service file, the screen turns on after suspend unconditionally.  So it's fixed!  The only problem is that startx fails with a lot of error messages in syslog, so this isn't a very satisfactory solution.

(The command wasn't being executed before because the bash path was wrong, it should be /bin/bash.)]]>

I used Power Manager to set the option When Laptop lid is closed: Suspend

The laptop boots fine, I can log in, and everything works.   When I close the lid, it immediately turns off the screen and suspends.

After a delay, say a few minutes, when I open lid the machine wakes up.  No lock screen or password is presented, but I see the desktop rendered correctly with clock in status bar showing time accurate as of moment of waking up.  Mouse pointer moves fine, but clicking button on touchpad does nothing and keyboard is unresponsive.  Clock does not advance and I see a static display of time of resume.  If I leave it for ~60 seconds the mouse pointer disappears (rest of display, with frozen clock is unchanged; displayed time does not advance).  Now if I click the touchpad the pointer returns and the clock immediately updates to display current time but does not revert to a running clock -- it's a static display of time, but the time is updated to moment of touchpad click.  Still no ability to use mouse to manipulate icons/controls on the screen even though pointer moves fine, and keyboard continues to have no effects. The laptop will move mouse pointer, but nothing more.

Power button works fine and I can restart the machine if I hold it down for like 4 seconds.
Either Ctrl-F2 does nothing, or I don't know how to do that on this Mac keyboard.

I changed Power Manager option to Hibernate on lid close.  When I close lid the screen turns off, and when I reopen the laptop it does not awaken and appears to be off.  A single press of the power button will cause it to reboot.

I tried a couple of commands in the terminal.
systemctl suspend sends laptop to sleep, upon wake (keyboard press) I see the lock screen where I given the opportunity to present my password, and it comes back to full function and everything works. 
systemctl hibernate  goes to lock screen, but never goes to sleep.  I can enter password and everything works fine, but again, it never goes in to hibernate state.

I get different behavior by closing lid, which causes Power Manager to initiate Suspend mode, than I do with systemctl suspend at the command line. 

Any thoughts on how I can "fix" the closing lid / Power Manager path so that it will resume correctly?
It functions fine when I use terminal and systemctl suspend, but that's a bit tedious to do every time I want to put the laptop to sleep.]]>

I did some internet research and found that this is a known issue with AMD processors. It has something to do with IOMMU. The suggestions include turning IOMMU off in the BIOS, but that option is not provided in the rudimentary BIOS screens of this ACER Aspire One 722. Apparently there is a Linux software solution as well, but they all suggest the BIOS change first.

Sorry for the long post, but I am wondering if someone has experienced this issue and knows how to fix it. I really want to learn Linux on this old laptop and have started tutorials to navigate my way around. As we get closer to Microsoft abandoning Windows 10, I would like to convert all of my networked computers to Linux, but not if I cannot solve these types of problems.

Thank you for being here for beginners like me.]]>

First some context : installed LL on an old Samsung Netbook N150 a few months back. I move a lot, and I much prefer a small laptop than a tablet. Don't need somehting powerful, using it just to take notes, browse the web and watch a video. So far, so good.

But since the end of August, after an update, I've discovered that on the login screen, the keyboard is all wrong, it's impossible to put in my pass word without the virtual keyboard.

What is weird :

- fr (for Fench azerty) is displayed in the right corner of the screen as usual,
- when I invoque the virtual keyboard, it's displayed as azerty, put when I use it, it changes to qwerty,
- moreover, when I acces to desktop after logging in, the keyboard is correctly set to French azerty again,

So far, I've only be able to by pass the problem by setting the computer to auto log in at startup. It's not really a problem, but I don't like it very much.

Any idea to resolve the problem ?]]>

- moreover, when I acces to desktop after logging in, the keyboard is correctly set to French azerty again,

So far, I've only be able to by pass the problem by setting the computer to auto log in at startup. It's not really a problem, but I don't like it very much.

Any idea to resolve the problem ?]]> <![CDATA[I want to make it boot faster]]> https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8868 Wed, 12 Jul 2023 21:05:54 +0800 shuantsu]]> https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8868
