problem with acpi suspend/hibernate (edgy beta1)

I have a problem of suspend/hibernate not working on asus laptop. Below I include copies of some correspondence with powersave people.

Klaptop did work with suspend/hibernate untill I installed 915resolution package. From then on it also fails to work.

If I could be of any help to further investigate the problem, please let me know.

========================

Hi, maybe I could help you with testing kpowersave, and you help me with
my laptop problem? :)

I just bought an ASUS A8F laptop (see full config below), installed
Kubuntu dapper, and I have problems with suspend and hibernate using the
kpowersave version 0.6.0.

Klaptopdaemon did not have problems with suspend/resume untill I
installed 915resolution package. Now it does well with hybernate, but
recovering from suspend just halts the computer. It does not manage the
power profiles at all :)

Anyway, I like kpowersave much better. But kpowersave:

On suspend: I get a strange stripped screen upon recovering from
suspend, cannot switch to any console, I exit just by forced shut down.

On hibernate: I loose my 1280x800 resolution (provided by 915resolution
package; I get the stretched 1074x764 resolution) and also the session
(get a kdm login screen).

So, maybe you could tell me what debugging info should I send you to
improve support of my type of laptop, and maybe you have suggestions on
how to change the scripts so that they start to function properly? e.g.,
the 915 resolution might have something to do with it (see
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151222&page=10 ).

Goldenear, Donatas, thanks for contributing to this bug report. To make any progress with it, some more information will be needed.

Please attach (by commenting on the bug) to the bug report the output of the following commands:

uname -a

sudo lspci -vv

sudo lspci -vvn

sudo dmidecode

There will be a lot of output, please be sure to attach rather than commenting in-line.

It would also be helpful if you could try to hibernate/suspend and after that fails, restart your system and attach /var/log/kern.log.0 as well.

Thanks again!

Now, with Edgy, I use power manager (the defaul program) and not kpowersave, and I do not have that problem any more - my laptop does hibernation and suspend quite successfully.

However, I have noticed that if I have a bluetooth usb stick inserted (and maybe a simple usb memory stick as well), I get strange effects: after resuming from hibernate the computer in about half a minute suddenly shuts down. What logs I should attach to help you find what the problem is?

I can do other testing things as well if someone tells me what to do. Would the logs you referred to above be still useful?

Another thing on Edgy: after upgrade to Edgy the hibernate did not work, only the suspend. Later I noticed, that the problem was, that the upgrade corrupted my swap partition (it was no longer displayed as swap) and so there was nowhere to hibernate. This also happened on my home computer, so it must be a problem.

Donatas, the requested logs will help with diagnosing the bluetooth USB problem, though it would be best to open a separate bug report for that - one bug report per issue makes it easier to track what works and what doesn't. So please open a report and attach the requested logs.

Re the upgrade/swap problem - yes, this is a known problem, covered in other bug reports.

Goldenear, you may want to monitor bug #63418 - there are known problems with the ipw3945 driver, and a new one is coming for Feisty (and for Edgy). It may resolve your problems (if not, well, we'll deal with that then).

So I could not reproduce the recover from hibernate problem when an usb disk is plugged in. But it happened once without any peripherals plugged in, so it might not be connected to usb devices after all.

The computer recovered, asked for my password, and immediately after I saw my desktop I saw black screen again and the computer wįas turned off in a few seconds. After that I turned it on and it recovered from hibernation again, nicely this time.

I attach a file with the outputs you specified. Hope that helps.

Marking as confirmed based on availability of requested logs.

I am assigning this bug to the 'ubuntu-kernel-team' per their bug policy. For future reference you can learn more about their bug policy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies .

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task.

Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.

Hi Sergio,

hibernate/suspend works fine with intel driver (this eliminates the need
for 915resolution) in hardy kubuntu on asus A8F - it is only some
screensavers that break this, since I turned off random screensavers I
do not experience crashes any more.

I think you can close the bug as irrelevant.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

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.

--or--

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.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. 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.

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
