Ubuntu – After upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 Suspend, Restart and Power Off does not work

17.10laptopnvidiasuspend

I have this very annoying problem, I have a laptop and when close the lid and reopen again, the computer does not start any more, showing a list of services loaded with "[OK]" but nothing more. I need to press the power button some seconds to power off completely closing all applications.

On the other hand, when I try to restart or Power Off after click on the icon in the topbar, then the message "The system will power off.." and buttons to select the action to do, take over 30 seconds to appear the first time. Anyway selecting Restart or Power off close the session, showing a loading screen but the computer does not Power off or restart never.

Tried:

[X] Different versions of Nvidia Driver.
[X] Disable Nividia drivers and using only Intel
[X] Wayland, Xorg

Details:

Any suggestion will be very welcome, I really need help with this annoying problem, I can't move with the laptop without closing all applications :X

After many tests the following solution works for me:

Login using Xorg does not use Wayland has many errors yet, anyway the login screen still uses Wayland, to disable the Wayland in the login screen:

sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf

Uncomment the line WaylandEnable=false to force the login screen to use Xorg

[daemon]
# Uncoment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
WaylandEnable=false

Restart!

Ubuntu – Suspend does not work

I have had this issue with both pm-suspend and closing the lid - except for in my case the wake up would happen 50-90 seconds after suspend. Just long enough for me to have stuffed the laptop in my bag where it has no chance of cooling itself.

After lots of searching, and even writing a work-around program which would invoke "pm-suspend" when the lid was closed I found that something other than the lid could wake up the machine:

root@host:~# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device  S-state   Status   Sysfs node
P0P2      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:01.0
PEG1      S3    *disabled
EC    S3    *disabled
GMUX      S3    *disabled  pnp:00:07
HDEF      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1b.0
RP03      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.2
ARPT      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:02:00.0
RP04      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.3
RP05      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.4
XHC1      S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:14.0
ADP1      S3    *disabled
LID0      S3    *enabled 
root@host:~# echo "XHC1" > /proc/acpi/wakeup 
root@host:~# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device  S-state   Status   Sysfs node
P0P2      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:01.0
PEG1      S3    *disabled
EC    S3    *disabled
GMUX      S3    *disabled  pnp:00:07
HDEF      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1b.0
RP03      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.2
ARPT      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:02:00.0
RP04      S4    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.3
RP05      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.4
XHC1      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:14.0
ADP1      S3    *disabled
LID0      S3    *enabled 
root@host:~#

After this, pm-suspend worked (did not wake up again after a few minutes) and the lid did too.

Since the wake-up happened only a few seconds after the light in the keyboard (it's a macbook pro) went out - I assume the culprit "XHC1" must be the keyboard - which also explains that if I suspend with pm-suspend I cannot wake it by hitting normal keys, only the power button.
