After updating and upgrading Toltec packages on 2026-06-08, I had the issue that while writing in neovim on yaft with the TypeFolio that my rM2 would suspend while I was typing. The "suspend screen" could look any of several different ways:
- The screen would flash, then my text would appear exactly as is, but frozen.
- A pixelated right triangle of text would go blank, but otherwise as above.
- A pixelated version of the "Remarkable is Sleeping" screen would appear in portrait mode (even though with the TypeFolio on it would normally appear in landscape mode).
Short pressing the power/suspend button would wake the device, and I could resume typing, but often only for about ten seconds before the same issue appeared.
I don't have any custom splash/suspend screens. I saw a similar issue report from around 2021: #54
Plugging the rM2 into a power source prevented the issue from happening.
As a fix, I created /home/root/.config/remux/remux.conf and added the line manage_power=no based on what I read here: https://github.com/rmkit-dev/rmkit/blob/master/src/remux/README.md.
After some consultation with Eeems on the Discord channel, they think that remux is probably not recognizing keypresses from the typefolio. Whether I started yaft before or after attaching to the Typefolio didn't seem to have an influence.
Before the update on 2026-06-08, I had had this issue occasionally, but nowhere near as extreme. It was just an occasional annoyance, and then I carried on. This time it made the device almost unusablewhile typing in neovim. In case it helps narrow down any changes in remux, my last update before the one that coincided with the suspend issue was 2026-04-05.
While figuring all this out, I also found out that the rM2's root partition was full, which I've since hopefully taken care with journalctl --vacuum-size=1. Another person who was helping me wondered if the full root partition could also have contributed to the suspend issues, so I mention in case it's relevant.
I'm happy to provide any outputs that would be helpful, I'm just not sure what's relevant.
Thanks for the great app and all the energy that goes into development!
EDIT: Fix code snippet formatting.
