(LINK) Computer restarts rather than suspending #466

Closed Koechophe closed 5 years ago

Koechophe commented 6 years ago

I'm running a fresh install of GalliumOS on the chromebook pixel (2013), and every time I shut the lid (or use the suspend button in power management) the system just reboots instead. I've tried various fixes found in the internet, but most are 1-2 years old and none worked. I'm running gallium on the native seabios of the pixel, and it is fully updated.

legacy boot mode on the 2013 Pixel is pretty buggy (fan control is broken, for one), so unless you're dual booting, I highly recommend removing the firmware WP screw and flashing my UEFI firmware, then doing a fresh install of GalliumOS

Koechophe commented 6 years ago

I haven't noticed any problems with fan control, but I'll give it a try and report back. Do you actually have to remove the write protect screw? Some of the posts in my research suggest that you don't.

MrChromebox commented 6 years ago

@Koechophe not sure where you saw that, but you absolutely have to remove the write-protect screw to flash anything other than the RW_LEGACY firmware.

Koech commented 6 years ago

I mistook a comment about updating the RW firmware, rather than reinstalling into uefi.

I removed the write protect screw and reinstalled, and it works like a charm. Now I'll just have to reinstall some fixes I'd used earlier. Thanks!

@Koech so good to close this then?

Closing as buggy stock firmware
