Bug Description

Both suspend and hibernation worked out of the box in both Jaunty and Karmic but fails in Lucid alpha 2. The laptop suspends just fine, but on resume the screen is blank with no backlight at all. There is no kernel panic though, Num lock and Caps lock still lights up their corresponding LEDs

Similiar thing for me, on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with a Quadro NVS 140M.

Suspend works perfectly but when I try to resume, it just displays some strange colors in different sized squares. Services and so on seem to run fine as it reconnets WLAN and so on so I suspect it's a graphic driver issue, which is the latest nvidia driver (190.53).

Same as above, running kernel version 2.6.32-11-generic on a Dell 9400. Suspend and Hibernate function properly, but upon resume, I get a blank screen. The only way I've been able to come out of it without a restart is Ctrl-Alt-F4 then Ctrl-Alt-F7.

For the sake of sorting out our symptoms: I have intel graphics and ctrl-alt-f4 --> ctrl-alt-f7 doesn't work for me (though resuming from tty1 works if I suspend from it).

I have a nvidia graphics card (on two computers - on both resume is broken in lucid but worked fine in previous releases of Ubuntu) - switching to a vt and back does not work for me either. Only a reboot solves the problem (which can be triggered with ctrl-alt-del).

I've tested a suspend/resume while X was not running and the binary nvidia driver was unloaded - didn't work either. It also does not work with the nv driver, so it's probably not driver problem.

Just to note that suspend/resume worked on both computers without problems in Karmic and prior releases.

I have an nVidia graphics card (Quadro nvs 3100m) in a Lenovo Thinkpad T510. I also have the "squares and strange colours upon resume" issue. Also, my backlight controls function under the nv driver but not under proprietary nVidia. We should file a separate bug report for these issues. Someone should check to see if the issue persists on Karmic using latest Ubuntu proprietary drivers or 195 from https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa. I would, but there is hardware in my laptop that depends on the new kernel.

Suspend/resume is unsupported when using the -vesa drivers, which some nVidia cards fall back to because -nv drivers don't work with all nVidia chips. I don't know the status of -nv driver resume, but it may not be good either. However, -nvidia driver resume should work.

I have marked this bug as a duplicate of another pm-utils bug that is tracking an upstream fix. You can find a workaround for this issue there. If the duplicated bug does not fix your problems, please open a separate bug with your symptoms (after looking for similar bugs already submitted of course).

Thanks

My 9400 had the ATI x1400 card and neither suspend nor hibernate work at all. Both functions simply result in a blank screen (still powered on) but a totally unresponsive unit, in all cases I have to power off and on.

Hasn't really worked reliably since 8.04 LTS, 8.10 was fair but nothing since.

I will not found any workarounds that fix this yet.

This bug is a duplicate of #488720 as it only concerns Nvidia cards. When I reported this bug I didn't know it was Nvidia-specific so I just reported it for this computer (mine has a Geforce Go 7800). It was also a regression in Lucid, since suspend has worked reliably for this model for several years now. You should report your bug as a separate one, if you haven't already
