Mageia forum

I upgraded the OS via command line urpmi, I got the update right, everyting is working fine, except suspend.

I used to suspend nicely with mga7, either via closing the lid or by suspending via the Gnome menu, but now it appears to do everything right including shutting off networking, but the notebook stays on (and after a while it resumes everything back, including network).

I'm currently using proprietary nvidia drivers back from the old installation (this is a system I installed on mga6).

I got some trace from the log but it seems related to TPM, but I'm unaware of some security configuration requiring the use of TPM in my system (maybe it's something on by default in mga8).

Is there any other thing I may look at to try to pinpoint the issue? I'm no expert in kernel internals...

Edit: outside of the trace I detected this error:

Code: Select all

If I understand this well, the 0000:02:00.0 seems to be the Intel card or the broadcom card:

Code: Select all

I've actually found a workaround from here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/935672/ ... ally-fails

Expecially adding this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
    pre)  modprobe -r brcmfmac ;;
    post) modprobe brcmfmac  ;;
esac


to /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep (I've called the file 10-brcmfmac-suspend.sh).

This basically removes the module before suspending and insert it again after resume.

Just a little bit, I'm unable to add a [WORKAROUND] tag in the subject of the post, probably due to character limits, are there any convention to do it properly?

You could skip the "Dell...etc"-part in your title, that will give back space.

Yes but also provide less information to people searching for a solution. I see someone else inserted the tag

"do not work" does not provide any valuable information for someone searching. Usually people use these forums *because* something does not work.
