Power suspend not working
by rng from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GAJX)
I am working on Void Linux with XFCE4 which is updated and otherwise working very well.
Earlier, when I pressed "suspend" button from XFCE4 log-out menu, the computer would suspend properly - screen goes blank, no disk activity and power button used change from ON to blinking state. Then on pressing spacebar, it would wake up, power button would become ON again and desktop would be restored on screen.
Recently, however, there is a problem. On pressing "suspend" button, the screen goes blank but disk activity continues and power button remains ON (not change to blinking). Moreover, on pressing spacebar, desktop is not restored and I have press to the restart button or switch off the computer and then switch on again.
Memory and swap status on my desktop can be seen from output of `free` command:
Code: $ free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.8Gi 1.1Gi 2.2Gi 77Mi 569Mi 2.4Gi
Swap: 11Gi 0B 11GiI tried to search the internet but found mainly pages which describe solutions involving `systemd`, but Void Linux has `runit`.
Since the computer goes off, I can check output of command: `dmesg | tail`
Where could be the problem and how can it be solved? Thanks for your help.
I also tried `zzz` command:
`zzz -n` : gives proper response- sleep for a few seconds
`zzz -z` : produces result as described in my question above - blank screen but power still on, disk still working and not waking up on pressing spacebar. I have to restart the computer.
