Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-13-generic

On my MacBook Core Duo (first generation, 32-bit), in the newest Ubuntu kernel I have no video after resuming from suspend-to-RAM on my MacBook for a *long* time (like 5-10 minutes) about 1 out of every 4 or 5 suspend/resume cycles. This only started after the recent update to the kernel - things worked fine in Gutsy up until that time. This occurs whether I use X.org's "intel" or "i810" video drivers and seemed to begin happening around the time of the kernel update - hence my belief that it is somehow kernel-related.

I have attached the following logs from /var/log -
dmesg
acpid
kern.log
user.log

Please note that the "suspend failed" in the user.log is erroneous - in that case, suspend actually succeeded but gnome-power-manager is known to be erroneously reporting failure (bug 137738 - there is a patch in that bug but it hasn't been applied).

2.6.22-14 also exhibits this. It seems like it tends to happen if the machine is left in suspend for an extensive period of time (i.e. more than a few minutes).

Somehow, I totally missed the boat on this one. The issue is indeed X - and in particular the craptastic "intel" X server. Marking as dupe of 127101, since this seems like a special, unique case of that.

In further investigation, X does seem to be involved (the issue does seem to occur more with the -intel driver, and especially if you disable DRI), but so does the kernel. Reopening as a kernel bug, as this does seem to be an issue that does NOT exist on -12 and does on -13 and -14. Could devs test machines with similar chipsets/specs (laptop/Core Duo/Intel graphics) to see if -13 is introducing issues with resume from suspend for them?

The bug is actually a gnome-power-manager bug, so I'm closing this and opening a bug against it. I actually *can* get video after this type of "freeze" - it's just that I have to close the lid for a while and press the "on" button.

My bad - I spoke too soon. Even though I got some errors from g-p-m in the process, the root problem remains with the kernel. I've reverted my kernel to the -12 kernel included on the Gutsy beta CD and it works fine, though I would like to see this fixed in a SRU for the current Gutsy kernel.

Also of not - sometimes I can wake my system when frozen in this state by closing the lid, waiting a few seconds, connecting/disconnecting the power cord, and then pressing the power dutton. However, this only revives the system about half of the time.

I just noticed that someone else mentioned this on the Ubuntu MacBook wiki
and directed MacBook users to the 2.6.22-12 kernel as the last working
kernel. Indeed, I am actually running that kernel right now so that I can
have suspend.

Anyway, It would be nice to get this fixed so that MacBook users don't have
to pick between reliable suspend and supported kernel updates... I started
working on it by trying to revert a few ACPI patches, notably this:

  * clockevents: remove the suspend/resume workaround^Wthinko

However, the issue persisted. I am confident that it was introduced between
-12 and -13, though - as I recall this happening starting with -13 and -12
(from the Beta release) definitely does NOT have the issue.

The bug is not limited to MacBooks. I can confirm this exact behaviour on an HP NX7300 laptop (Intel Core 2 T5600 / 945GM) running the latest kernel (2.6.22-14-generic).
Thanks for the connect/disconnect power workaround!

Does it work fine with -12? If not, your problem is different. If so, your
problem is the same.

I tracked down 2.6.22-12 just after I posted my comment and as far as I can tell it works like a charm. Should have posted my results sooner but work got in the way. Anyway, it's probably safe to assume we're dealing with the same bug.

What chipset/graphics card/etc does your laptop have? Wifi? I'm curious,
as I'd like to narrow down what component this bug caused a regression with.

The chipset and graphics are the same as mine - everything else is different
(I have a Core Duo and Atheros wireless).

I can confirm the same bug on my macbook with 2.6.22-14 (CPU: Intel
Core 2 Duo T7400 2.16GHz).

Just a (most probably unrelated) note: I started having this issue after playing
a bit with powertop (USB autosuspend etc.). Never experienced in 2.6.22-13.

Confirmed here too: MacBook Core2Duo 2.16Ghz.
Tried with 2.6.22-12, 2.6.22-14 and even 2.6.23.1 custom vanilla kernel.
Only 2.6.22-12 got suspend/resume completely reliable.

Tim Hull (thully) wrote :

According to Volanin's analysis, this seems to be something introduced upstream - likely in 2.6.22.8 or 2.6.22.9.
I will also concur with the fact that after waiting 5-10 minutes one can always wake up the system - and sometimes pressing the power button wakes it before that.

Anyway, I have attached my dmesg files from the system. The first is the dmesg from before I went into suspend, and the second is from after I resumed from one of these "hung" suspends. Note that it took around 10 minutes to get the system to wake up.

Tim Hull (thully) wrote :

I believe I have traced the bug. Anyway, in my suspend/resume testing, through trial and error I found that the issue does NOT occur if I unload the ohci1394 module prior to suspend. Even if I'm having it occur almost every suspend on a particular boot, unloading ohci1394 makes it go away. As this was unnecessary for the -12 kernel, I am suspicious that a commit relating to ohci1394 between the -12 and -13 kernel is our problem.

As of now, the only one I see is:

  * ieee1394: ohci1394: fix initialization if built non-modular

Can the devs look into this? As of now, I would venture to guess that this issue happens on Intel-chipset laptops with Firewire chipsets making use of the "ohci1394" module.

Recently I've been trying out the x86_64 version of gutsy and as far as I can tell this bug is limited to the 32 bit version. I've suspended my computer a few dozen times over the past couple of days and it's come back up every time. I do still have some other suspend/resume issues that are really annoying (wifi/NetworkManager/knetworkmanager stuff) but that's probably unrelated to this bug.

Jens Geiregat (jens-geiregat) wrote :

I don't know if this will help nailing the bug, but I have found a way of reviving my MacBook when suspend (with the 2.6.22-14 kernel) fails. It does not work every time though. When resume fails (no backlight on the screen), start tapping the power-button. Sometimes tapping the spacebar and the return key helps too. Most of the time the backlight will light up and you will be presented a login screen. However, when entering your password, you will notice keypresses are registered twice about 80% of the time (once for pressing the key down and once for up). Struggle with this until you're able to enter your password correctly and your laptop should be resumed now. (The double keypress issue disappears after login.)

Note: in some cases, your system will not be usable: it will freeze after each keypress. (I'm not into kernel development, but I think the kernel only schedules tasks or wakes up when an interrupt happens.) This is scary (for me) but it will enable you to reboot your system: just reboot and keep tapping keys (spacebar, once every second should do) until everything is cleanly (?) shut down.

That is my experience (as the original bug reporter) myself - though I
haven't tested 2.6.24-2 yet (I did use -12, though). Does anyone know for
sure when it was fixed? Was it still an issue in 2.6.23 or 2.6.24-1? It
would be nice to see an official backport of the fix to Gutsy...

Sorry, but I think ATI users need the latest drivers as well. I never used an ATI card with Linux so I don't know what package to install but u could always use Envy to install the latest drivers.

For nvidia add this repo in sources list:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new

u can install the legacy version as required for ur card.

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
