Until there is a fix for the display I'm going to leave this open... it's not really something I can recommend for a laptop.
As a walkaround you can use s2idle with suspend-then-hibernate option for lid close: https://askubuntu.com/a/1075861 I know that it isn't perfect but it works well.

FYI if you have encrypted your disk then you need to change the grub config as explained here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=287015
Thanks! With 32 GiB of RAM, I had not budgeted for a swap partition. But I managed to get through a slightly harrowing procedure of resizing my encrypted root partition and can confirm that this is not at all a bad solution.
FYI you don't need to extract extra partition for swap to make hibernate work. You can use swapfile, and add resume_offset
parameter to /etc/default/grub
and also to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
if your root partition is encrypted. Sorry for late sharing @inducer ;-)
Heh. I had seen something about resume_offset
before I made the change, but I convinced myself that "that can't possibly work with an encrypted root." Turns out I was wrong. And, thankfully, growing the partitions was much less scary than shrinking them. Thanks again!
FYI I managed to fix the screen corruption when resuming from S3 sleep by going into the BIOS and disabling the following setting: POST Behaviour -> "Sign of Life" -> "Early Dell Logo Display"
Tested with bios 1.1.3 and linux kernel 5.5.2-1.
Wow, it works! Thank you for sharing!
On this Arch wiki page about what seems to be a somewhat similar machine, I learned that
will motivate the machine to go to actual S3. On my 7390 2-in-1, that does seem to work. Only the power button will wake the machine up from that, unlike in
s2idle
, where just looking at the machine wrong would do that. Unfortunately, the internal display doesn't recover after S3. But an externally attached monitor continues working great.
