Ubuntu 20.04 does not wake up after suspend on HP laptop

cn flag

I am running a new HP 14s-fq1377ng Notebook (Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700u with radeon graphics × 16, Graphics: AMD Renoir) and have a working dual-boot with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.

In Ubuntu, when I try to put my laptop to sleep by either closing the lid or selecting "suspend" the following happens: After a few seconds where it seems that nothing happens, the Notebook screen goes black as desired. Afterwards I am not able to resume to the session by pressing any key. Even pressing the power button has no effect. Only thing I can do is to press the power button for 3 seconds to shut down completely. Then I can reboot via the GRUB menu but my Ubuntu session is lost.

On the same laptop in Windows, I have no problems putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up at all.

I know that there are lots of suspend issues out there and I spent hours looking for a solution but I couldn't come up with one that suits my specific problems. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: Result of

journalctl --system --boot=0 | egrep -i "suspend|resume|entry|exit"

Please add result of `journalctl --system --boot=0 | egrep -i "suspend|resume|entry|exit"` and if it shows `BIOS update required for suspend/resume` you know what you need ;-) and as another suggestion: please try with 21.04. It could be that 20.04 is too old for your hardware.

I have the same problem with hp 15z-ef2000 and Ryzen 5500U. I also spent HOURS on this with PopOS. Here are some links with proposed solutions, none of which worked for me: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1371512/unresponsive-black-screen-after-suspend; https://forum.manjaro.org/t/kernel-patch-to-solve-suspend-issue-for-amd-ryzen-laptop/61743. PopOS has the 5.15.8 kernel, but does not fix it for me. Now trying with Fedora and Manjaro.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
