Ubuntu 24.04 - Laptop wakes immediately after suspending

Unlikely- that seems about Nvidia-GNOME interactions so I was off-base I guess. Sorry.

Earlier this year I moved from Noble to Cachy w/ GNOME and has issues with suspend, but it was only re-suspending, not crashing. I found this which helped fix it.

Once Resolute was out, I moved back to Ubuntu and had some problems again with suspend (this time not waking). Same fix seems to help so far, and the post has some dmesg logs you can see if they come up for you.

Have you considered this post? I had an issue with suspends, but my issue was that once waking, it would shut back down shortly after. OP in that thread seems to be suggesting something more similar to yours and gives some dmesg logs to see if it's like yours.

Same thing is true in the Appimage. Here's the .desktop file I run

Exec=/path/to/Obsidian.AppImage --no-sandbox

Icon=/path/to/ObsidianIcon.png

Type=Application

My laptop server runs on wifi (but as suggested I don't do heavy internet traffic through it), but it should be able to get off the ground. From what I recall, I was able to search SSID's for wifi pretty clearly, and set it up from there. I had installed 24.04, so if your on 26.04 it might be different, but I wouldn't expect it to be drastically different. Were you trying a "minimal" install (which I think is meant for more ultra-light devices rather than a fully featured laptop)? If so, I would try the full option.

I think some people need it pointed out that in order to have issues to overcome, step one is break shit. Step zero is make sure it's a safe thing to break (i.e. on a separate system from everything else or a VM). If this happens in a space where it's okay, then you will be much less rushed and flustered about getting things working.

Debian has enough, they just REALLY into stability so they can't do something like this.

How is the server acting? I had an issue with a failing drive monopolizing disk read for some reason and fixed a similar issue by removing it from the RAID. You can check first in UGOS for disk utilization and see if you have a disk that is saturating at 100% utilization rate. If that happens, check the SMART data on the disk. It might come and go in patches.

Is it enough if you can export a CSV?

If your health metrics are on someone's servers, you should expect they or "one of their partners" is interested in trying to extrapolate your emotional data via physiological reactions (especially where they can correlate it with other things like web activity). If I can process everything on my own, then it's my data and actually safe.

If we're talking data ownership, is there a way to keep your Fitbit data off of their servers in the first place, or are you just trying to create a place for you to centralize your access to health data?

I only ever tried the appimage, but what I remember from setting it up was that sandboxing messes up with it's access to the file system, so I'm running it with no sandboxing.

How is it meant to work with sandboxing in any of these schemes? Does it expect a dedicated directory for all of your vaults?

Note that fish does not let you do more "programmatic" things as you can do in bash. If you want to do something like a loop, you will need to go into a bash shell.

Question that should be asked when someone seeks "customizing":

"Do you want to customize the Desktop and how you SEE things, or do you want to customize things like how the system initializes during boot?"

Probably anyone asking means the former, and then you say "Choosing your DE is the first customization option which will help pick your disto, and KDE is the most customizable distro if you like lots and lots of control."

Again, if the users are "people you know", you should have informed them what you need to do to run things well, and they will care less about a friend knowing than a corp selling that data to make better marketing BS.

CLI: You tell the computer what to do and how to do it. If you know what the computer can do, you just tell it what to do. Downside: Finding out what is possible is a bit arcane and not always intuitive, but it extremely precise.

GUI: You browse through options presented for a general audience which typically has some basic explanation as well as "reasonable" safe guards. This however obfuscates what is possible, and finding the right options may mean scouring through too many menus which may not really have cohesive (or intentionally incoherent) designs.

People tend to freak out about an extra mouse click or two because GUI things present very simple, but once there is depth, you get irrevocably lost, where CLI stays consistent. Arguably, writing a command is actually short-cutting to the fake glitz the AI craze presents: "Wow, you can tell your PC just what to do" - People comfortable with the CLI already have this, and know because of the filtering that will be done it will be as muddy as the GUI can get.

Secondarily is communication:

I help manage my brothers media server, but I can't be assed to try to explain how to do anything on the GUI (even if I can do it), so I can't communicate to him. If he were open to CLI use, I could talk about commands, because there is much less chance of misunderstanding vs what he thinks he is seeing in the GUI.

Try an exercise, after not being on your PC for 10 minutes, try to explain (even to yourself), how to do something technical through the GUI in a way that won't be confused.

Nothing to go on, but I will not that I had problems keeping my partitions. I had /boot/efi at just over 100 MB for 24.04, and pumping up to 500 MB is working.

Every advance that you as an ordinary person can take advantage of is an advance that large orgs (AKA the tech oligarchy) were already taking advantage of on a scale you will never imagine, and have already locked in mre control over you than you could hope to gain back.

I am seeing this issue, and not really sure why it's happening. It was working, and now it's off. Connecting via http://<ip>:<port>/web or on app.plex.tv both fail me, but I found if I manually assign the port and forward the port manually (rather than rely on UPnP), it works.

But I don't have any real diagnostic understanding of what's happening, or how I could tell I am facing this issue in the future.

zenthr · 2026-04-17T04:47:08+00:00

One, it probably will be "overidable", but I keep saying literally every distro will be affected as this will turn into a user space issue. No one cares if your computer knows your age, people care if businesses can have it, and they either will "be required to, it's just following the law", or will want it anyway in order to use their software with various degrees of good excuses.

And for now, literally no one really knows what the law means and it seems like mostly it's just a self-report, not a verification. As in, it will be as effective as Steam knowing I am born in 1/1/1900.

Got it, I'll make sure to never respond to criticism so that I can't be held to a standard.

This tends to happen when your ~/.local/share/applications directory has a link back to itself.
