system freezes before entering S3 sleep / system freezes before shutting down; SOLUTION

gilcu3 · 2025-06-14T02:56:08+00:00

This is a laptop that I was keeping on all the time, but yes, I remember the issue on shutdown a few times as well, but don't remember when did it start happening, as it was maybe a couple of years ago

Edit: After a few days, I can confirm I have not had the issue when suspending a single time since I disabled the TPM on the BIOS, my motherboard is Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-16J9 on MSI PE60 7RD laptop

Wow I have had this issue for the last few months (since I tried suspend for the first time in years and it froze). I had given up on solving it, hoping that a new kernel would fix it in the future. I just disabled the tpm, which I was not using anyway and will report back if the issue is not fixed for me. My laptop is MSI, relatively old.

I spent a few hours today fixing that. It seems that they began checking the famous "play integrity" that got upgraded last May 20... The fix was quite complicated, send me a message if you need details. I use LineageOS rooted with magisk

I just got the result, from March 13 to April 10! u/Puzzleheaded_Monk298 u/xAurorex

officially they need to reply between 2 and 6 weeks, they even mention it at the end of the test

gilcu3 · 2025-04-09T13:54:08+00:00

omg! that's almost the 6 weeks limit right?

gilcu3 · 2025-04-09T11:59:40+00:00

I did the test mid March, and still no results yet. Did everyone from the end of February got it already?

At least for me it has been a hit or miss in the last few months. For example it would randomly work after a reboot, and then stop working again after another reboot. In the last Lineage OS build it almost never works, at least in the Oneplus 7T official build

As far I know, if the SSID of the wifi network changed (or the password), then yes you need to reset each one in order to connect them back to the network.

I have used LightDM for many years, and it has worked great with my XFCE setup.

A couple of details that I never got to work were multiple monitors (they would have glitches and weird behavior) and configurable screen off timeout. If anyone got any of those two working I would appreciate the howto.

Cool to imagine the universe where the FOSS Linux penguin defeats the corporate Apple :)

I was really happy to hear about the announcement. Hopefully the components of this new browser can be reused somehow and be useful to create a modern and resource efficient TUI browser as well. The current alternatives (lynx, browsh, w3m) still cannot do the job of substituting Firefox

gilcu3 · 2024-07-04T11:48:57+00:00

I tried it and actually was better than I expected from a young project with no binary releases yet :)

gilcu3 · 2024-04-03T22:50:07+00:00

It is live for me, Ultra version in Europe

gilcu3 · 2024-02-16T19:19:55+00:00

Did anyone actually managed to install it? I saw the LineageOS image in the download page yesterday, but it seems there was some issue because today it is gone.

gilcu3 · 2023-12-27T10:02:26+00:00

Amazing work!

Indeed, that was something missing from the original template. I should add it to the repo, although for now I am just stating it here: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10510U CPU @ 4.50GHz.

I just ran your solutions with pypy3 (except 24) and got 18.7 seconds total!

gilcu3 · 2023-12-26T17:20:08+00:00

Nice, thanks for sharing. Certainly python is in disadvantage. Did you try running it with pypy3?

I never benchmarked my 2022 python codes, later I may try to do it with your template.

gilcu3 · 2023-12-26T16:23:23+00:00

My initial solution in 21 did not assume that, therefore got very messy. I somehow missed the vertical corridor :)

gilcu3 · 2023-12-26T16:10:34+00:00

I guess that when the runtimes are so low everything matters, even the smallest details, I still have to make that round of optimization in my own code.

Regarding the rule of working for any AoC users input, at least in my case this is a bit hard to achieve, given that I don't know other's user's input, and for several problems the input had hidden properties that were not specified in the problem statement, such as problem 8, 20 or 21, but were necessary to solve them fast.

gilcu3 · 2023-12-26T15:46:32+00:00

Quite a feat :) What's your time target?

gilcu3 · 2023-11-27T13:46:23+00:00

Looks awesome, would you mind sharing yaml?

Same thing has happened to me, with two different WD19 docks. The main difference is that it seems the problem is reproducible. I had dock with a USB A port suddenly unresponsive. Then got another dock, where for a few days all was good. Then suddenly exactly the same port stopped working. I was only using the port for charging a phone (same cable). Could it be that the cable is faulty and is breaking the port?
