‘Last year, we asked the public for their views on smart products in a series of workshops. People shared concerns that products collect too much personal information, and said that they feel powerless to control how their data is used and shared’

Thank you to these people!

I’m checking this out!

I like ‘Removable Drive Menu’: a status menu for accessing and unmounting removable devices.

Your IRQ ‘permission denied’ log lines could be caused by this: https://github.com/Irqbalance/irqbalance/issues/336

…to which the answer is currently to wait for kernel fix. Whether this is the cause of the suspend issue as well I couldn’t say.

Is this all the logs, from very start of you hitting suspend to when the machine comes back? I ask because I expected to see more things stopping and then restarting…

The logs should indicate the device/app that prevents suspend, run ‘journalctl -r’ after it happens.There are ways to disable devices from preventing suspend but we need to know what’s causing it first.
