Show cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
I only have s2idle in there on the new laptop machine, and I have already tried to make sense of this and where the advertised features originate from and become populated. apparently this new laptop machine does not offer suspend-to-ram
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.html
but old machinery and even desktop systems do offer it no problem at all. i dont find much documentation exactly talking about suse/opensuse and sleep states and all only other open source hardware projects such as frame.work folks kind of discuss this as well with their rather new hardware also having trouble with this (user community forum). what bothers me just as well, is that even this s2idle stuff doesnt kind of keep the machine sleeping even at this level, when sleep the machine via kde/lockscreen icon it eventually wakes up sometimes like immediately again or sometimes within seconds or like half a minute the screen is back to visible pixels and the power LED on the laptop is not flashing slowly fading in and out but comes back to real alive state. even when i close the lid of the laptop, it does come back to life when i plug in the power the machine being in this state, lid folded (and made it go s2idle at least with this event). i didnt think of linux kernels having this kind of basic power problems? hopefully this will be enhanced? this laptop is not really able to run on battery when it behaves like this. thanks for any hints how to improve this.
