Suspend never works, fans increase to 100%

[Noah Mamie]

There are several issues with the suspend/screen lock options in Ubuntu. First of all, the extensions are automatically deactivated when locking or suspending. Second, the suspend option never works as expected, when leaving the device for a while after suspending the fans increase to 100% and the device gets really hot. Afterwards, the only option is the reboot the device since it's "stuck" in a recovery mode.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) reached end-of-life on July 11, 2024.

See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it anymore. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in.

BTW, extensions being deactivated when the screen locks is a security feature. That's not going to be changed.

Do you still have the same problem with suspending in Ubuntu 24.04?
