System Goes Back to Sleep After Waking

Ubuntu Version: Kubuntu 26.04 Kernel 7.0.0-28-generic

Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma 6.6.5 Wayland

Problem Description:

When I close the lid of my laptop the laptop goes to sleep correctly. When I open the laptop it resumes and the system doesn’t hang, but after ~10-15 seconds it goes back to sleep. I’m still able to wake it from sleep using the keyboard or clicking the mouse, but it continues to go back to sleep after ~10-15 seconds until I reboot the laptop.

Relevant System Information:

Razer Blade 15 Base (Early 2020) RZ09-0328

Intel Core i7-10750H @5GHz

NVidia GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile

NVidia (graphics-drivers ppa) 580.173.02

Intel UHD Graphics @ 1.15GHz

16gb RAM

What I’ve Tried:

The only solution that I’ve found is to disable the hardware switch to make it stay awake when I close the lid, but obviously this isn’t ideal for a laptop. This wasn’t happening on Kubuntu 25.10. I did upgrade the laptop without reinstalling Kubuntu, but I’ve sense loaded Windows onto it to update the BIOS, and reinstalled Kubuntu 26.04. The problem persists and I’m unable to find anyone else dealing with this issue.

Do you have the latest BIOS? This may help

Yes, I installed windows and updated to the latest BIOS, it didn’t resolve the issue when I reinstalled Kubuntu.

But did it happen in Windows too? Or not?

No, it doesn’t happen on Windows and it didn’t happen on previous versions of Kubuntu I had running on this laptop.

Hey everyone, I found the solution to this issue in this forum post.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1270147/ubuntu-20-04-keeps-goes-to-sleep

The solution is to add the argument to /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash button.lid_init_state=open"

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
