Bug Description

Since I upgraded to Intrepid, suspend has started failing a lot more often.

I am yet to determine the conditions under which it fails, but I will note that I am now using the upstream NVidia beta driver (177).

What happens is that my screen stays on, the audio ringbuffer loops out, and I get a blinking cursor. The keyboard is unresponsive, and my capslock key fails to activate.

From /var/log/messages when it failed:

Could this be related to bug #212660 "ehci-hcd causes failed suspends on kernel 2.6.24" for which a work-around is:

echo 'SUSPEND_MODULES="ehci-hcd"' | sudo tee /etc/pm/config.d/modules_unload

If possible please try this work-around and report details to bug #212660 if successful.

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.

Hi Alexander,

Can you comment if this is still an issue with the final release of Intrepid Ibex 8.10? If so, could you then test the latest pre-release of Jaunty (currently Alpha3) - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/ . You should be able to test suspend via a LiveCD. Please let us know your results. Thanks.
