Issues with suspend function on Pop! OS

[ThatGuy0101]

I have been trying out linux operating systems lately and had just installed Pop! OS on my laptop (the Nvidia image). I am running into an issue when I suspend (both closing laptop and suspending from the OS). It would show error messages about processes refusing to freeze or in the case of suspending from the OS, the login/splash screen would appear but frozen before kicking over to the aforementioned errors.

 

I am largely a noob with linux so I have been looking through some forum posts and found a suggestion to add "mem_sleep_default=deep" or with "deep splash" to the config file in kernelstub. Neither resolves this issue.

 

Laptop: MSI GS40 6QE Phantom

Kernel: 5.8.0-7625-generic

CPU: Intel i7-6700HQ

GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M

 

Edit: in Pop! OS, the systemctl suspend command works with no issue it would seem, just closing the laptop/suspend via the gui

Try booting up Puppy Linux Fossa from a USB stick, and test the suspend function there.

Ok, I'll give it a shot. I was also running Manjaro before and had no issues.

I am running Puppy Linux as you recommended. Just closed the laptop and the indicator lights turned off of a few seconds before lighting back up. When I opened the laptop it was back on the desktop running normal. Am I to understand that it somehow failed to stay or initiate suspend?
