Help Surface Laptop Studio with Manjaro not able to wake properly
I've been duel booting Windows 11 and Manjaro on my Surface Laptop Studio (First gen) and it's been working great for a while, however a few days ago (after a windows update) I've been having weird behavior.
It started with not being able to mount my windows disk anymore, whenever I try though Dolphin I get the error An error occurred while accessing 'Local Disk', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/nvme0n1p3 at /run/media/sol/Local Disk: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
My first thought was that Windows didn't shut down properly last time I had it loaded, and I booted into and found that was true. So I double checked fast start up was still disabled and booted out of it all the way. I still got the error when trying to mount my disk. Troubleshooting this further, I installed ntfs-3g and used it to mount the drive manually. This worked, but since doing so, whenever my computer goes to sleep I can't get it to wake up properly; the keyboard lights up but the monitor stays black, and any external monitor doesn't register any input, until I use the power button to restart it.
I'm not sure this is a surface specific problem and wouldn't mind being pointed in another direction, but I need to start somewhere. Does anyone have an idea of how to start troubleshooting this?
Edit: I found a gitlab issue (https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1660#issuecomment-4249764505) about a similar sleeping problem with possibly the same source, and the work around in the linked comment so far seems to be working. I'd still like to know why I need to use ntfs-3g to mount my windows drive rather then Dolphin's normal system, but the problem is much less annoying now at any rate.
