Lenovo T16 unable to wake up from sleep, screen blinking

[rustyx]

Lenovo T16 Gen1 (2022), Intel Core i7-1270P (12 gen) integrated graphics.
Running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Unable to wake up from sleep - the screen backlight is on, but the screen is solid black. After a while it starts randomly flashing with a login screen for about ~300ms and also each time I type a character.

Also the "reboot" command hangs.

Tried with both "Suspend-to-Idle" and "Linux S3" suspend settings in BIOS - same issue.

Not sure if relevant, but journal log contains these lines:

This change was made by a bot.

[AaronMa (mapengyu)]

This is a known issue of new vbios, please wait for a new BIOS to fix it.

[rustyx (rustyx2)]

That's what I'm doing currently - using Windows for the time being. From personal experience I can say that the chance of something being fixed in BIOS is fairly low and can take a loong time.

But why would Lenovo want to release a new BIOS for this since it works flawlessly in Windows?

Perhaps a software fix in the i915 driver is possible?

[Fela Maslen (felamaslen)]

Can confirm this issue with my new T16 and I will be returning the laptop because of it. Useless product unless fixed.

[Dimitris Moraitidis (dimisjim)]

same issue here

[AaronMa (mapengyu)]

New BIOS should be released in several days.
Please wait for a while.

[Fela Maslen (felamaslen)]

New BIOS has been released but doesn't fix the issue.

Do we have an ETA for this?

[AaronMa (mapengyu)]

It should be fixed in 48W, but looks like it's delayed.

In the meanwhile, the potential fix:
https://patchwork.<email address hidden>

You may want to try it.

[Dimitris Moraitidis (dimisjim)]

>in 48W

what do you mean?

[rustyx (rustyx2)]

I think 48W is the suffix of the BIOS version, N3BET48W.

The new BIOS 1.25 released Aug 9 seems to contain 47W, and indeed does not fix the issue.

Also the patch did not help.

[Dimitris Moraitidis (dimisjim)]

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
N3MET05W (1.02 )

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
06/07/2022

hmm I have the BIOS version shown above, I guess I am lagging behind :sweat

[rustyx (rustyx2)]

N3MET... means you have a Nuvoton EC chip, it has a different version numbering, the latest one is N3MET06W. Check the README that comes with the BIOS update.

As mentioned, it seems to be an issue with the BIOS:

[Dimitris Moraitidis (dimisjim)]

sleep issues seem to have been fixed using the N3MET08W update: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.lenovo.ThinkPadN3MET.firmware

however touchpad is still affected and not fully fixed.

[pwolanin (pwolanin)]

I just got a Lenovo T16 with bios 1.11 (N3MET12W)

For me the sleep issue is still present in a severe way. It shipped with 20.04 and I used the GUI software updater to move to 22.04 and since that it won't wake from sleep.

A colleague claims that Fedora 37 works well on this model, so I don't know what the difference would be with Ubuntu.

[pwolanin (pwolanin)]

UPDATE: the problem seems to be that when I used the GUI tool to update to 22.04 the kernel ended up (or stayed?) at the 5.14 OEM version.

If I then update to the 5.17 OEM kernel or next to the 5.19 generic HWE kernel the problem is resolved. So... I think what I saw was a side-effect of not doing a clean install.
