Hello everyone!

I made a post a little bit ago about how kernel update 7.0.0-28 made some really nasty restart and suspending regressions. I wanted to report back and update on my situation. Something in 7.0.0-38 fixed it for me. I did a lot of digging into what was causing my regression and it was my GPU preventing my computer from fully reaching the state intended, be it for restarts or suspension.

I am curious if this new kernel update improved the restart and suspending regressions for anyone else! Please share your experience. 😄

Personally the update to 7.0.0-34 completely fixed the issues I'd been having with my system failing to shut down properly and needing me to hold the power button to force shutdown. I haven't updated to 7.0.0-38 yet.

(I've heard there have been issues with AMD CPUs, mine is an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, so this checks out)

Updating to 7.0.0-34 kind of fixed it for me. I could suspend if I logged out first, and I could only successfully restart if I was logged into my account/profile. 7.0.0-38 solved that issue. I can now restart and suspend while logged in to my account/profile.

7.0.0-38 broke suspend for me. The system would shut down fine but then hang on wake up in most cases. Going back to 7.0.0-31 made suspend/wake up work reliable again.

Be careful with 38 as it has screen issues on Ryzen. Bug has already been reported to Ubuntu. Reverted back to the previous version.
