Suspend not working - help needed to debug

**kapad** · December 19th, 2017

Since the past couple of days, each time I try to suspend my system, my laptop immediately resumes from suspend. I'm not sure what the exact error is.

I also noticed, that since this problem began, there's been no messages logged to /var/log/pm-suspend.log

Also, I cannot really decipher the syslog and figure out what the issue is.
I've copied in the relevant portions of my syslog below (atleast what I thought was relevant. If there is something else that I should add to the syslog dump, or any other log files that I need to add to the post, please let me know).

Code:

Which release? 17.04 support ends in a few weeks, so moving to 17.10 would be the first step before wasting much time on a soon-to-be-DoA release.

I can't find why I thought you were running 17.04 now - was it in the tags for this post? Your signature still says 10.04, so that isn't it.

It appears that wifi might not be cooperating. If you manually turn off wifi, does the suspend work?
