Fedora MacBook

Sleep fix for MBP 11,X

Fedora Linux on Apple MacBook might not be able to wake from sleep. (Or it might eventually wake up, but it can take several minutes.)

This package “apple_sleep”" is a workaround using “isolation” of CPUs, that allows the laptop to wake up from sleep within a normal timeframe.

I have no idea why it works, but I found the trick online - and polished the implementation as far as my Linux-fu allows. And it helps my Fedora-ized MacBook wake up from sleep.

There was some uncertainty about which cpu-num to isolate, so I made a script that isolates all but the first cpu; cpu0, and this seems to work … speedily.

The package consists of a Bash script and a systemd service file.

Usage

Put the files where you prefer, and edit the service file to point to the script. Enable the service, and sleep.target will trigger the service to source the script when the laptop goes to sleep, and again when it wakes up.

 systemctl enable apple_sleep
