Bug Description

Linux 2.6.28-11-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 23 16:40:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The computer did not resume from suspend and I had to restart it. After the restart it froze completely after a few minutes and would not respond to Alt+SysReq. On the next restart I found a clue to what had happened: I think that somehow the video driver had been reset to the xorg driver instead of the proprietary nvidia driver; in my experience the xorg driver does not work with the suspend/resume or hibernation on this machine.

Could you please follow the triage and debugging guide (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume) and report back here.

This was an isolated incident which I think was caused by the free nvidia driver. I am actually quite pleased with how well suspend/resume works on this machine, as long as I'm using the non-free driver.

I did once run through the triage and debugging guide, before I switched to the non-free driver. To my surprise, I couldn't reproduce the problems as long as I was running in text mode; it was the actual switch to graphics mode that would freeze my computer on resume, often with a garbled display. It was this which made me switch to non-free nvidia, and all problems disappeared.

I'm having the same experience in Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4: resuming from sleep or hibernation using the Xorg nvidia driver does not work, whereas it works using the non-free driver.

Thank you for reporting this issue about xserver-xorg-video-nv. Starting with Lucid, Ubuntu is transitioning to using the -nouveau video driver by default instead of -nv. The reason for this change is because upstream development for the -nv driver has been quite slow. We are quite pleased with the upstream development speed for -nouveau, and hope this will translate into swifter bug fixes as well.

Because of this, I'm closing this bug report at this time. I'm marking it Invalid (Won't fix would be a better status but I can't use that status) because what you describe is probably a valid issue, but we do not have further plans to work on it in Ubuntu. If you would still like to see this issue investigated, I would encourage you to file it upstream at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.

status:	New → Invalid
