Re: Thinkpad T14s Gen 6 AMD. Unable to resume from suspend.

Hi everyone,

Briefly my issue is that I am unable to resume from suspend.

I just tested sleep on my laptop, also running Trixie and it works without any problems. It does not appear to be an issue with Trixie.

I own the new T14s G6 AMD ; which runs on the AMD CPU Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (released in august 2024).
I installed Debian Testing (Trixie) - which come with Kernel 6.11.5-amd64 at the time of the post.

Unfortunately while everything seems to work fine (wifi, bluetooth, webcam, etc.) whenever I suspend the laptop, I am unable to resume.

Good to hear everything else is working.

In practice, there's no reaction (screen remains off, suspend indicator keeps blinking - hint that no event is registered by the laptop) when I :
- Open the lid;
- Press a keyboard button ;
- Use the touchpad ;
- Press the power on/off button.

The only way to get back control of the laptop is to hold down the power button and do a hard reset.

I already tried, with no success :
- Upgrading Kernel 6.11.6-amd64 from Debian unstable ;
- Disabling secureboot and security chip features from the BIOS ;
- Enabling all devices from /proc/acpi/wakeup.

I am a bit defeated out here, so do you have any ideas for me ?

In the BIOS check to see if Suspend S3 State is supported.

Also check out this article about disabling modern standby and restoring S3 sleep.

You may also want to consider disabling S1, S3 and S4 in the BIOS to prevent the device from going into standby mode altogether.
