I managed to get Debian up and running on my Encore 2 tablet. Wireless works on the 4.3 kernel, but the interface disappears when I wake the machine from suspend. There are no errors in dmesg, nothing related to wireless in syslog, and the brcmfmac driver is still in the kernel. Removing and reloading the module doesn't make the interface reappear. I'm not sure where to look for the problem.
View 0 RepliesI started this process about 1-2 years ago, and am finally getting back to it. I have:
AMD Sempron processor 3400+
1 GB memory
200 GB hard drive
Encore ENLTV-FM TV card (SAA7134)

I get a good picture, but no sound. There is a short jumper cable running from the sound output of the TV card to the "line-in" on the sound card. I have messed with the settings in Gnome ALSA mixer, including what I think are the correct settings (Line-in:mute, record; Capture: Record, Master:100%, PCM 100%). I don't even get sound if I plug the speakers directly into the TV Card. I've tried different audio settings in the MythTV backend and frontend, but I really have no what the proper settings are.
I have an Encore Electronics 802.11g Wireless LAN Adapter installed on a secondary desktop. When I was running Windows XP the wireless signal was strong and did not disconnect. When I installed Ubuntu the wireless signal is weak and it will not stay connected. Would there be a driver for Ubuntu to work better?

1. This driver supports RealTek RTL8169s/8110s Gigabit Ethernet driver for Linux kernel 2.4.x.
2. Installation steps: (1)Compiling r8169.c using 'Makefile'.
"make" <NOTE>Please remember to ASSIGN "NEW_INCLUDE_PATH" in Makefile according to linux kernel.

During my upgrade this fine afternoon, my system went into screensaver mode and would not bring up the security window. The window would flash for a very brief period and then disappear. I tried to enter the password to no avail. After 10 minutes of this, I gulped and re-booted. It seems to boot ok, but just like in the install, the login security window flashes and disappers. I have tried to type in the data with no luck. Does anyone have a work around? I am currently using my knoppix live disk until I can burn a deb live disk.
View 11 Replies View RelatedMy version of Squeeze was about half a year old when I updated/upgraded it just now. As part of the (longish) process I was advised to run apt-get autoremove, which removed what looked like a stunning amount of material. As another part I noticed a huge number of error messages about nonexistent locale files (I think) whizzing by.
Well, the result has various cosmetic changes and no doubt fewer bugs, but it doesn't have WLAN. I used to see an icon at the top right like two tadpoles chasing each other, turning into a set of green (if I was lucky) or grey (if not) bars. No longer. No tadpoles, no bars, no error message, nothing.
This very recent thread ("Just isntall debian 6.0, wired networking ok but no wireless") looks helpful. However, I don't know what WLAN hardware I've got or how to get a text dump of this kind of thing. 4D696B65 kindly points the person who asked to wiki.debian.org/ipw2200. I don't know whether I have any of these "Intel PRO/Wireless 2100, 2200 and 2915 devices" but I'm encouraged to read there that [the file] is now also available in the nonfree-firmware tarball which we build regularly on cdimage.debian.org. Supply this blob on a CD/floppy/USB drive etc. and d-i will do the right thing. I don't know what either "blob" or "d-i" means, but I was rather hoping that some software or other would look at the hardware, look at the available firmware, and install accordingly (as happened months ago). So got the (small) file; I opened it up; I copied the contents to a CD (even though it's not an ISO). But apt-cdrom add is not interested.
I have a fresh install of squeeze without a desktop environment. I then installed a basic gnome environment so I can choose my own apps ('apt-get install gdm3' pulls in enough for that). I then had to install some packages to get mobile broadband working:It all works fine until I disconnect it via Gnome network manager. I cannot reconnect using Gnome network manager because it doesn't show in the menu, but it does show while I'm connected. If I pull the dongle out and plug it in again, it reconnects without issue.I think I may be missing some packages, but I don't know what. I tried usb-modeswitch, but no change

Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)
During this week, I installed Debian twice on this system using NetInst, connected trough ethernet. Yesterday, I noticed the ethernet controller wasn't listed by lspci. I restarted, it appeared but didn't work. I turned off the system, started it a bit later and the device worked normally. This odd behavior has happened during the last twenty four hours. The ethernet controller appears and disappears. I enabled the "Boot from LAN" BIOS option to check the availability of the device right upon start and I'd say there's a 50% chance that it doesn't appear. I posted this message connected through the ethernet device.
I guess I should return the laptop because of this problem but I know very little about hardware and I wanted to ask first.
I have an issue with my Sony vaio fw31e not resuming from suspend. Reported this as a bug: [URL] The usual ways of suspending, from the kde 4 menu, from the power/battery widget or by lid closing always result in no resume. However, running pm-suspend from a root terminal suspends and resumes just fine. My question is, how does one delve into the way that the usual methods initiate suspend? Maybe if I could find out what each of these methods actually does, I may be able to see what is going wrong? I had been running squeeze on this lappy since July 2009 with no suspend issues until an update broke it sometime in January. The install is being fully upgraded every day at the moment.

When I try to resume, I can hear the system booting but I can't see anything on the screen and the keyboard is not working either (no light on Num Lock and Caps Lock). The only option is to press the power button for a few seconds to stop the machine and then push again to start booting again.
Up until a couple days ago, my computer had no problems suspending to ram. However, now when I suspend, and later hit a key on the keyboard (usually space) to resume, all I see is an illuminated black screen. I can't even open a tty via Ctrl+Alt+F1. I can however ssh into the machine.he only possibility I can think of is that I am no longer running kdm. I just use "startx" to star an openbox-session.

I have just joined the Debian community, for the past 2 years I have been using Linux Mint (ubuntu), I am now using Linux Mint Debian 64. I have a Lenovo A700 ideacentre with a Broadcom 4313 WiFi card. I manage to get the card working, now I have a new problem. If I suspend the machine the WiFi will not connect on resume. Is there a simple command I can use to getting the connection restarted, or better yet a work around so it will restart on its own?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having problems with resume after suspend to RAM. The machine starts to wake up, but the screens (multi mon VGA and DVI setup) are black and the keyboard doesn't light up. After ~20 seconds there's some brief disk activity and then the computer reboots. 100% repeatable with affected kernel versions. My test method is simple, I boot the machine on the kernel's recovery option, log on as root and run "PM_DEBUG=1 pm-suspend". I haven't found anything in the logs after a failed resume.
Here's the situation:
I have a SSD disk. To get TRIM support I have to use kernel 2.6.33 or later, which means that the standard kernel in Squeeze is too old.I have Nvidia graphics, and there was a change in 2.6.34 that breaks older versions of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (version 0.0.15, used in Squeeze), I can't use Debian Squeeze with a kernel newer than 2.6.33.x.My machine (XFX GeForce 9300 motherboard) won't resume from suspend to RAM if I use a kernel newer than 2.6.36. There are no BIOS updates available.
My options:
Install newer kernel from Squeeze backports (2.6.38.2 last time I tried). <--- Not doable b/c of resume problems. Upgrade to Wheezy, which uses kernel 3.0.x. <--- Not doable b/c of resume problems.Compile a vanilla kernel. So basically I'm forced to compile my own vanilla kernel, 2.6.33.x on Squeeze or 2.6.35.x on Wheezy. I won't be stuck with an unsupported kernel version in the near future, but so far I've failed miserably.
I know that the latest kernel version where everything works is 2.6.36.x (no longer maintained), 2.6.37.0 and later cause resume problems (I've tried 2.6.37, 38, 39 and 3.0.0, .0.1). I've tried doing a git bisect on the kernel, but didn't succeed, ended up on 2.6.36-rc5 which is weird considering that 2.6.36.4 works. There may be several suspend/resume bugs in different kernel versions that messed up the bisecting results.
I have new hardware (Nvidia Geforce GTX 960) which required new drivers. I'm running jessie but had to install the driver version 352.30 from the experimental repo. Everything seems to work fine, except after a suspend. On resume, the X server exists with errors, and I'm dropped back to the Linux console.
I've done a fair amount of searching, but the problem most people seem to have is corruption or black screen. I'm getting something equally annoying but less severe: I just get dropped back to the shell, but as soon as I restart the X server with startx everything continues to work... until the next suspend.
My full Xorg.0.log is at [URL] .... . Here are the errors that appear after the suspend:

First off, closing the lid to my laptop doesn't trigger suspend, or anything no matter what I set it to in power options.
I can suspend using "systemctl" or suspend from the "Leave" menu, but upon turning my computer back on, my touchpad and keyboard don't work.
Sometimes, my touchpad will start working after about 15 seconds, but the keyboard doesn't come back. I have to hard reset.
I have a feeling it's something to do with systemd, but I'm not super proficient in linux. Just an end user who is friendly with a terminal.
I don't know if these are related, but I have had occasional lockups, where no input has any effect and then it shuts down, and am usually unable to resume from suspend on closing the lid.

My Acer Aspire 7552 laptop is running Debian Testing (just the main repos, no contrib or non-free). For some reason, it takes over five minutes to resume from suspend, and an absurd period to come back from hibernate (well over half an hour). Has anyone encountered this problem before, or have any tips on how to fix it? For the time being, I'm completely powering off every time I close my laptop because it's faster that way.
Output of lspci in case it helps:

Fixing my chronic suspend/resume problems turned out to be easier under systemd, but like everything else lacks documentation.
To suspend rather than power off when pressing the power button, I edited /etc/systemd/login.conf
uncommenting this line and changing it to suspend:
HandlePowerKey=suspend
and uncommenting the line
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
Some services were lost on resume. This problem seems common. To run a command on resume, I believe you have to make your own script, and create a systemd file to run it.
My script is /home/james/.bin/james-resume.service, which contains:
#! /bin/sh
/sbin/hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
This must be executable. Ownership doesn't seem to matter.
To run it, I made a file in /etc/systemd/systen/suspend.target.wants
The file name must match the script name:
/etc/systemd/system/suspend.target.wants/james-resume.service
This contains:
[Unit]
Description=Run James jobs at resume
After=suspend.target
After=hibernate.target
After=hybrid-sleep.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash /home/james/.bin/james-resume.service
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
WantedBy=hibernate.target
WantedBy=hybrid-sleep.target
Ownership must be root.root. Apparently it doesn't need to be executable.
Then enable with:
sudo systemctl enable james-resume.service
and check with:
sudo systemctl status james-resume.service
If it says the service is loaded, it's OK -- inactive only means it's done running.
