It looks like (sadly) almost no one uses newer iMacs for Ubuntu or Linux generally. But I'm posting this question anyway, just in case someone out there is.

The problem is that on any Suspend other than the first of the session after startup, the iMac **reboots rather than suspends.**

I post below journalctl entries for three successive attempts to suspend: (1) after initial boot; (2) after resume from initial boot suspend; (3) after reboot from crash due to #2. Please let me know if anything else will help!

Here they are:

INITIAL BOOT THEN SUSPEND

  • I disabled all GNOME extensions and tried again. Here is the latest error message from journalctl.....Apr 05 12:45:40 gsd-power[1135]: Error setting property 'PowerSaveMode' on interface org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

While the error message pasted below still appears in journalctl, adding this to the boot parameter fixes the crash issue, so I am marking this solved: acpi_osi=!Darwin

This appears to be a power management issue with Thunderbolt on the iMac. There is a little bit about it here. And this post is really helpful regarding acpi generally.

I use rEFInd (thanks Rod!), but I expect it would work with GRUB2 also.

Error setting property 'PowerSaveMode' on interface org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)

I fixed suspend problem

Edit the file ( /etc/default/grub )and add parameters

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=!Darwin acpi_backlight=video quiet splash"

then

update-grub

then

reboot
