Laptop Wakes itself from Sleep [solved]

[wolf_math]

I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2 on a MacBook Pro (2014 11,2 or 2015 12,1: I'm not sure which). It worked perfectly before the upgrade from 19.1 to 19.2. After upgrade the computer will sleep exactly twice when lid is closed. After the third time closing the lid the computer will wake itself from sleep after a few seconds and prompt for a password (while the lid is still closed mind you) as though I had just opened it. This has lead to more than one occasion of dead battery in my bag.

I've closed all windows and made sure that it wasn't a program that was waking the computer. It doesn't stay asleep when I select sleep from the menu either. The only option I have after two sleeps is to reboot.

Any suggestions?

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
- make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

I don't know why for sure, but check in BIOS to see if you have WOL (wake on lan) turned on, and if so, turn it off. See if that stops it.

The output for

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

is as follows:

Strange.... I advise this:

I tried all of the above without any success. However, I formatted the boot drive and did a complete reinstall of the operating system. It seemed to have solved the problem.
