I'd say check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate And https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management
I don't recall seeing anything about the issues you reported specifically but hopefully someone that has will see this.
the screen turns blue and will flash red when certain keys are pressed, mainly ctrl
This is slock running. The sysact script locks your screen before hibernating or sleeping. Type your password and hit enter to unlock. https://tools.suckless.org/slock/
the CapsLock key will randomly stop acting as another Super key
This issue is being covered here: https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/voidrice/issues/1293
If it's too annoying you can remove remapd
from the autostart programs in .xprofile
and add remaps &
on a new line above autostart.
lol. slock working as intended.
When I try to sleep, suspend, or hibernate via the Super + Backspace shortcut, the screen turns blue and will flash red when certain keys are pressed, mainly ctrl. Also the CapsLock key will randomly stop acting as another Super key and behave as a CapsLock key again. Can't find a consistent way to cause it but it happens very often.
I'm not sure if this is an error, but I'd like to be able to make my laptop sleep instead of shut down when I close the lid, and haven't figured out where I configure that so if someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. This is all on a ThinkPad T420 running Arch.
