@FATeknollogee did you have some issue installing this or are you just planning to?

[JaredBusch]

My MBP is a Late 2011 13" model

• 2nd Generation i7-2640M @ 2.80ghx x2
• 8GB RAM
• 3rd party 500GB SSD
• no clue what the video card is

Installed Korora 25 Cinnamon from USB.

Post-install updates: No extra drivers or settings needed. All devices function.

Did not test sleep mode.

Install is already done.
I am just listing any additional items I did or still need to fix.

[FATeknollogee]

Looks like suspend/resume is still a problem.

When you look at system details, which graphics does it list in that window? Just curious... mine wasn't playing nicely.

Have you tried Korora 25 Gnome or Ubuntu 17.04?

No not yet.
No Ubuntu for me, I'd prefer to stick with the Fedora family.
I might go try Fedora 26.

[FATeknollogee]

Well, I tried Fed 26 & the power management when closing lid just doesn't work.

Neither Hibernate nor Suspend work like they should.

Right now, I'm kinda stuck!

Does it wake up no problem?

I close the lid, the light on the front starts glowing off and on slowly like it always did for sleep mode.

I open the lid back up after a few moments and the screen lights back up and asks for my password.

How long you want me to leave it in standby?

[FATeknollogee]

@JaredBusch That is fine. Thanks for the detail.

[JaredBusch]

@FATeknollogee my power settings for reference.

[FATeknollogee]

@JaredBusch Those are the same power settings I have.
I tried both suspend & hibernate, both were a no-go.

[FATeknollogee]

After chatting with the folks at Korora they suggest I file a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com

Your hardware is 5 years newer than mine, so hard to say.

[JaredBusch]

Okay, I signed in and then closed the lid.

• Light was showing standby.
• I left it for about 45 minutes.
• opened lid.
• Keyboard lights came on but the screen did not come back up.
• Pressing keys does nothing.
• Pressing power button does nothing.
• hard power cycle required to power on.

So, seems to be the same issue.
