Macbook Air resumes immidiately after suspend

[Kim Nielsen]

Computer model : Apple Macbook Air 6,2 (Mid 2013)
BIOS version : MBA61.88Z.0099.B04 (dmidecode -s bios-version), Oct. 2013 version
OS installed : Ubuntu 14.04, single boot

Problem description:

When closing lid on computer machine suspends. Within 8 to 10 seconds the machine resumes again with lid still closed. Imidiately opening an closing lid makes suspends the computer and it keeps suspended until lid is opened again.

This behaviour is the same when entering a sudo pm-suspend from the terminal. Machine suspends. But resumes after 8 to 10 seconds. Immidiately doing a second sudo pm-suspend, suspends the machine and keeps it suspended.

There is one case where the behaviour described above is different. That is in the situation where machine is put into suspend for the first time after a complete reboot. In this case the machine suspends correctly and stays suspended as expected.

The problem is consistent and can be reproduced as desribed any number of times.

Disabling wi-fi (using the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA proprietary driver) doesn't alter the behaviour described above.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Today it almost fried my macbook, was very hot when i got it out of bag. I have MacBookPro11,2, contents of "cat /proc/acpi/wakeup" are exactly as above. Started after package upgrades couple weeks ago, now persists with all kernels i have on grub loader.

I'm experiencing the same problem.

- First suspend after reboot works every time without fail.
- Second suspend does a resume after 3 or 4 seconds.

The workaround ( sudo pm-suspend; sudo pm-suspend) only works on my Macbook Air 6,2 when I've applied the workaround for this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1318218

Workaround:
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy

In order to have my macbook air suspend everytime I close the lid I've added this line to /usr/sbin/pm-suspend:

$ diff -p pm-suspend.distrib pm-suspend
*** pm-suspend.distrib 2013-11-06 17:26:04.000000000 +0100
--- pm-suspend 2014-06-26 14:06:18.672660848 +0200
*************** if run_hooks sleep "$ACTION $METHOD"; th
*** 101,106 ****
--- 101,107 ----
   log "$(date): performing $METHOD"
   sync
   "do_$METHOD" || r=128
+ "do_$METHOD" || r=128
   log "$(date): Awake."
  else
   log "$(date): Inhibit found, will not perform $METHOD"

Also do a "dpkg-redirect add /usr/sbin/pm-suspend" to prevent the change from getting overwritten.

I have tried the workaround in #4 without luck.

[Krister Swenson (thekswenson)]

The workaround in #4 works for me as long as I do (as root):
 "echo medium_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy"

[Krister Swenson (thekswenson)]

Careful though, this does not work every time... just most of the time.

[Krister Swenson (thekswenson)]

This seems to work all the time when the computer is unplugged...
  when plugged in, it seems to work most of the time.

[~penalvch] I have the same symptoms and attached my apport information.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Andrew Gaul, please do not apport-collect to a report you are not the original reporter of. Instead, if you have have a bug in Ubuntu, and so your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please read the official Ubuntu documentation:
Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue
Ubuntu Kernel Team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies#Filing_Kernel_Bug_reports
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Policies/DuplicateBugs
Ubuntu Community: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

As well, please do not announce in this report you created a new bug report.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Jamon Camisso (jamon)]

I opened a new bug about those over in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1616214

It is still affecting me using 16.04 on a Macbook Air 6.2.

[miiiiitico (miticotoby)]

having the same issue on mine.

disabling LID0 ACPI signal seems to do the trick for me. the downside is that laptop won't wakeup by itself anymore (you'll have to press the power button) but better than no sleep at all I guess.

echo LID0 >/proc/acpi/wakeup

[penalvch (penalvch)]

miiiiitico (miticotoby), it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

For more on why this is helpful, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[miiiiitico (miticotoby)]

sure, done: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1638788
