Fn-F4 or Session Menu > Suspend Actual results: System hangs for 20 seconds, then recovers. Shows errors in bug description Expected results: Should suspend. Never had this problem before. Additional info:
Sorry, I meant upgrade from 4.15.13 to 4.15.14. So, this bug was introduced in kernel 4.15.14 exactly.
Can you see if 4.15.16 works https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1067740 (I'll be filing this in bodhi shortly) If that doesn't work, you can try a kernel bisect
Yes, I can do that! Thanks. Regarding a bisect, I completely understand how that would help. But, "try a kernel bisect" isn't enough to go on. I link to Fedora instructions would be really helpful. I've built many kernels, but that was 20 years ago. It was grub 0.99 era. A lot has changed. Could you at least link to some official Fedora documentation for building one's own kernel and booting it? I found a page on fedbisect, which is good, but I've forgotten some of these other things. To Fedora's credit, I stopped practicing these skills because in the last 15 years, I've never had serious kernel bugs persist for more than a few kernel updates.
Success! 4.15.16 works and does not have any problems with suspend for me on my system. Thank you, Laura.
Thanks for letting us know.
