Sleep issues

BlvckBytes · Jun 18, 2020

I had a look at sleep again today, I think I now know where the problem of the occurring wake lies. Attached my pmlog, as far as I can tell, this is the issue:

Code:

2020-06-18 18:36:58 +0200 Wake Requests           [*process=mDNSResponder request=Maintenance deltaSecs=7200 wakeAt=2020-06-18 20:36:58] [process=powerd request=TCPKATurnOff deltaSecs=43255 wakeAt=2020-06-19 06:37:53] [process=powerd request=UserWake deltaSecs=285001 wakeAt=2020-06-22 01:47:00 info="com.apple.alarm.user-visible-Weekly Usage Report,425"]

I turned off WiFi and sleep worked, tested it for half an hour, didn't wake up. Any ideas how to go about fixing this? Googling just told me that it's actually not an mDNS problem, which I find hard to believe...

Do you have power nap enabled? MaintenanceWake sounds like it.

Other things to try:
sudo pmset -a tcpkeepalive 0
disable bluetooth wake

I tried setting tcpkeepalive to 0, this did at least begin sleep but resumed back after like 5 seconds. Here's the log again, this mDNS thingy still perists.

Bluetooth wake seems to be proximitywake, right? That is disabled.

have you tried running these commands:

Code:

sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

and rebooting?

takki · Jun 19, 2020

@Feartech @BlvckBytes

I don't think deleting the sleepimage is necessary, as hibernatemode 0 already disables hibernation. As far as I understand sleepimage is only used for hibernation so that and possibly autopoweroff 0 should already do it without modifying system files (although I don't use autopoweroff 0 and I have no issues).

At the top of your pmset log it still says "TCPKeepAlive=active" so you might want to reboot and try again.

Make sure you have Power Nap disabled:
Energy Saver -> Enable Power Nap -> Untick

Wake for Bluetooth devices can be found here:
Bluetooth -> Advanced -> Allow Bluetooth devices to wake

Also worth checking:

Energy Saver -> Prevent computer from sleep automaticaly: Disable
Energy Saver -> Put hard disks to sleep when possible: Enable
Energy Saver -> Wake for network access: Untick

You can check for wake reasons here as well:

Code:

log show --style syslog | fgrep "Wake reason"

[Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops

Overview Power Management should be one of the first things implemented when trying to install OS X on a laptop. Because of heat/noise and battery life issues, using NullCPUPowerManagement is not a realistic option on a laptop. Fortunately, with Clover, NullCPUPowerManagement is never needed...

Gotcha, I didn't know updates could reset that setting (hasn't for me so far, fingers crossed). Still though, personally I prefer changing it back if it becomes a problem, but to each their own

@Feartech @takki

Executed everything except the sleepimage thing (btw, that path is non existent, so no image there), because I couldn't mkdir - operation not permitted. I'm somehow not able to turn off SIP, got the following csr-conf:

But the FS protection still seems to be present, also "Verifying App X..." often launches. I'd like to just turn it off, what am I missing here on my bitmask?

Still, wake after around 5 seconds. I disabled bluetooth wake (which was still on, LOL), the remaining settings matched yours, takki. This is the log show output:

Executed everything except the sleepimage thing (btw, that path is non existent, so no image there), because I couldn't mkdir - operation not permitted. I'm somehow not able to turn off SIP, got the following csr-conf:

But the FS protection still seems to be present, also "Verifying App X..." often launches. I'd like to just turn it off, what am I missing here on my bitmask?

Still, wake after around 5 seconds. I disabled bluetooth wake (which was still on, LOL), the remaining settings matched yours, takki. This is the log show output:

Code:

I'm wondering what XDCI CNVW is...

you could try running these first:

Code:

sudo spctl --master-disable
sudo mount -uw /
sudo killall Finder

then try:

Code:

sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

also makes sure you have setup your usb ports correctly:

blvckbytes@MacBook-Pro-2 Desktop % sudo mount -uw /
mount_apfs: volume could not be mounted: Operation not permitted
mount: / failed with 77

Also: My USB-Ports are setup properly, nothing is plugged in during tests - same results.
