Debian :: When Suspend And Hibernate Screen Goes Black?
Feb 26, 2011
I am having some pain with my new Squeeze installation, I am not sure if I am asking to much of it or it is an easy fix.
Firstly my system is laptop which I regularly plug a second monitor into. The video adaptor is an ATI HD4550 mobile.
My problem is that when ever suspend or hibernate my system, and even sometime when I boot up the screen(s) are just blank, although sometime they don't, it always happens if I suspend by closing the lid of my laptop, and only sometime happend with through Gnome is go ->System->Shutdown->Suspend. This is really annoying.
Another issue which I think is connected is that as I said I have a second monitor (most of the time) and when I boot up then it works until I log in, then a message pops up say the configuration can not be applied and it revert to Mirror mode or it does this thing where it places the second screen inside (virtually) the built in Laptop panel, it will not let me fix this through the monitors dialog just displaying the same message. I can fix this by doing
invoke-rc.d gmd3 restart
This gets as far as killing Gnome them it prints an error the to console, at which point Imopen a new terminal by ctrl+alt+f2 and
invoke-rc.d gmd3 stop
invoke-rc.d gmd3 start
then it works fine and even remember that I set the secondary screen to be the primary monitor through xrandr.
I tried install fgrlx drivers instead but it didn't really fix the issue, so I removed them.
out of no where it seems ubuntu no longer wants to cooperate when suspending/hibernating. the screen will just turn to a black screen without shutting down. each time i have to maually power down my laptop.
I like to suspend my laptop when I close the lid. I have squeeze installed. When I open the laptop lid all lights indicated that it coming out of suspend but the monitor stays black. It is worse since I install the ati drivers for the card instead of the xorg. It did it with both but worse with nonfree drivers. I can get it to come out by ctrl alt f2 and the ctrl alt f7. However yesterday that did not work but that was the first time. My laptop is an acer 5251-1513 amd processor v120, and hd 4250 radeon
I'm running Debian Squeeze on a Dell Studio 1558 laptop, and I have my laptop set to suspend when my lid is closed. Resuming from suspend seems to work but the screen remains blank, forcing me to hard reboot every time. Upon reading this thread:

Just got Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm liking it a lot, but my computer refuses to go into hibernate or suspend. I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.
All is in the thread title. When I log back in after suspend or hibernate I get a lot of flickering on the screen. I noticed (I think) that it calms down a bit when streaming video from the net, if that gives any clue...
I'm using a dual boot with Vista basic/lucid lynx on an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop.
Ok so I'm still a bit of a Ubuntu n00b and I just installed 10.04 on my new laptop (Asus U35F) and it's working pretty well except for one problem.. Every time the laptop goes to sleep/suspends/hibernates, when I try to resume it again it hangs. So I end up seeing the screen to re-log in and I can usually move my mouse around and start typing my password in and all of that for maybe a second, but after that it just freezes!
Especially since right now Ubuntu is the only operating system I have running, and since I use this in school and need to conserve battery as much as possible so it stays running through 6 hours of class, I really need to get this fixed up soon..
I would like to disable the login screen when the computer returns from suspension and hibernation, so that it will automatically log me back in. I am using Ubuntu 9.10.When I come back from suspension, for some reason, my key board does not work in the login screen and I cannot type my password.
There should be the suspend and hibernate buttons in th System Menu, but there is only two options, Shut down and Log off.Also, in the Power Manager Preferences window, it has no option for suspend and hibernate.
I installed the debian 6 on the tninkpad T42, use the Suspend,it can entry the suspend state，I type the key let it come back, it can exit the suspend state, But the screen always display "black",can't come back the X window.
Installed Debian 8.2 a while back, and I've been having issues with getting the machine to suspend correctly. If I try to put it to sleep when logged in to my regular user account the screen just goes black and then the computer hangs. However if I put it to sleep as root everything works fine. I do this by running this command (as root):
Code: Select allsystemctl suspend
What can I do about this? Worked fine on Debian wheezy..
Btw, just found this in the dmesg log. Connected perhaps..?
Code: Select all[ 6.863018] ACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x00000000000018e0-0x00000000000018ff conflicts with OpRegion 0x00000000000018e0-0x00000000000018ef (\_SB_.PCI0.SBUS.SMBI) (20140424/utaddress-258) [ 6.863028] ACPI:

I've been running 6.0.2 amd64 stable since release day and recently have noticed my suspend and hibernate do not work. Normally I have transmission running and have set it to not enter sleep mode while torrents are active. However today I have not had transmission and was wanting to see if the sleep mode options would kick in. So I have set my display to "sleep when inactive for" 5 mins (this works perfect) I have set "put computer to sleep when inactive for" 10 mins (this does not work at all)
When I try to manually test suspend my display flashes black for a few seconds but remains backlit, then asks me to log back in When I manually go into hibernate mode my display turns off, pops back on for a second and in a terminal says something about a usb device (something failed but it happens so fast I cannot read it)
How do I enable suspend in Lenny currently I can shut down or hibernate. In ubuntu on a different computer I can suspend which resumes very quickly can this work on Lenny also it does not hibernate properly anyway, there are error messages.
I've tried editing .xinitrc to contain ck-launch-session and dbus-launch to no avail. Console kit is installed. I'm using Sid without a login manager, and xfce's suspend and hibernate work fine on my Wheezy computer. Xfce4-session and consolekit are installed. Is this a problem with permissions?
I have installed the latest virtualbox 4.1 on my desktop and laptop. It hosed suspend and hibernate.
The laptop is A Dell D630 with Intel Core2 Duo CPU, the desktop is an AMD based ASUS M3N78-VM mobo with Athlon II x2 250 CPU. Debian Testing 32-bit (same results with the 2.6.39 and the 3.0 kernels). Both have nvidia cards though - the desktop an integrated 8200, the laptop a NVS 135M. But suspend/hibernate was working before with the 4.0 series virtualbox.
The workaround is to clear the vboxpci vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv modules from the memory before suspend/hibernate. I added the
service vboxdrv stop rmmod vboxpci vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv
lines to my sleep script (i dont use power managers, just the acpi powerbutton/lid scripts modified). Everything is ok now.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. I didn't really find the Unity interface useable (I didn't like Ubuntu Netbook Edition for this exact reason) and am running it in Classic mode. I have a Acer Aspire One D255, Intel Atom processor, etc. When I start the computer up from a hibernate, the screen goes black with a set of random colored pixels at the top corner. I have a mouse but nothing else.
after i installed latest ATI proprietary drivers ( 9.3 legacy drivers) for my HP compaq nc6000 with a "Mobility Radeon 9600" the standby and the suspension stopped working, i mean, if i try to suspend or hibernate my laptop, it closes X (this is fine) but after it gets freezed on the whole screen black with just a blinking underscore and nothing more, neither an error message after reboot.All i can do is to force shutdown by pressing poweron button for 5 secs.I'm running on a lenny, stable with stable repo.What can i do to understand where does this problem comes from and maybe fix it?
I have a server with Debian Wheezy. I already setup Wake-On-LAN (from halt) and works just fine, but i need to have Wake-On-LAN from suspend or hibernate. None of them works, despite multiple solutions I tried.
The server is mainly used for remote backups and i will like to be able to suspend/wake on LAN automatically on certain period of time (when backups occur) or manually.
The first try was based on [URL] .... and [URL] ..... but without success.
I also tried: uswsusp and hibernate .. intended on using even TuxOnIce but looks complicate..
In BIOS there are some settings to manage the fans (Fan Speed Control Modes) which is set to 3 (Workstation). I also disabled all USB devices in BIOS (since i don't need them and i have read that some USB may create problems)
I used pm-utils and once i try suspend/hibernate the machine hangs with the fans still running ... and with some other hardware suspended.
Some info:
# acpitool -e Code: Select all Kernel version : 3.2.0-4-686-pae20110623 - ACPI version : 20110623 ----------------------------------------------------------- Battery status : <not available> AC adapter : <info not available or off-line> Fan : <not available>
I've configured my debian lenny to load first the command line, then if i want I load the X server, but doing this to that way I don't have the suspend/hibernate functions from the gnome menu, so, my question is:
what is the command to suspend / hibernate my system at any moment I decide?
When I updated from 9.10 to 10.04, the only thing I noticed immediately was that the Application menu and the things next to (Similar to window's Start button). That's still gone. I also am having problems with my hibernate. Whether I close my lid or physically click to hibernate, all that happens is my screen goes black but doesn't shut off all the way and the power button does nothing.
I'm running openSUSE 11.2 on a Thinkpad T61p with nvidia graphics. I'm running the proprietary nvidia driver.The battery ran very low and the computer suspended itself. After I woke it up, the desktop is completely black.After troubleshooting as much as I could, I did ctrl-alt-backspace, which brought me to a normal (non-black) login screen. However, as soon as I logged in, I was back to a completely black screen. But the system is operating.I rebooted the computer (warm reboot as well as cold restart) and each time the video is normal until I get to the desktop and all I get it black.Everything was normal until the pm suspend.Suspend has never worked exactly right, so I don't normally use it. But in this case, it used itself Next step: I logged in to console mode and looked at the logs. The only messages of interest seem to be in Xorg.0.log I found a couple error messages that might be of interest:
(II) LoadModule: "nouveau" (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nouveau (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
I've got Karmic installed on an HP 6930p, and with relatively little intervention, all hardware has been supported beautifully. I'm using the ATI driver for graphics. Battery life increased dramatically after an update a couple of months ago. However, occasionally (1 in 8 times maybe), the screen is black when waking from suspend. Disk wakes, etc, but the screen is off. Trying to re-suspend with fn key doesn't work. Ctrl-alt-f key combos don't work. I have to hold the pwr button down.
I am running Squeeze on an older Compaq EVO laptop with radeon graphics.
A few months ago, after an upgrade, suspend and hibernate stopped working. The suspend or hibernate worked fine, but the resume just hung with a black screen. I finally got around to looking into it and found a workaround.
The workaround is to disable Kernel Mode Setting for the radeon. This can be done by adding the boot parameter "radeon.modeset=0" or by editing /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf so that it includes the line "options radeon modeset=0".
If you are interested in the details, you can search for problem reports related to radeon kernel mode setting.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 64bit. Mainboard Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2V. My LCD is a HDTV monitor which is plugged to onboard graphic card.
I don't know what happen with my Ubuntu. It sometimes goes black when I try to wake my PC when it's suspended previously. The screen is black, but I still can move mouse cursor. I also can do blindly click on stuff on screen (I could play a song last time by clicking randomly). This problem also happens sometimes when I switch back to PC from TV (My LCD is a HDTV monitor).
The only action I can do when it happened is reset my PC.
I have an ati 2600 mobile. I am running fedora 10 64 bit. If I have compiz enabled when I resume from suspend I just get a black screen with some garbed colors and I have to hold the power button to shut it off. I have tried turing sync to vblank off. It works fine with no compiz. Is there anyway I can get resume working with compiz enabled?

I have installed Xubuntu 9.10 on an Acer Aspire One 160HDD, 1RAM, 11.6''If I switch to suspend mode, on resuming it shows a black screen (but it still works forcould ctrl-alt-del and then restart)I read somewhere it could be a problem with the swap particion, but I have partitioned/ 10GBSwap 2.5 GB/home the rest
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. When I partitioned my HDD, I ran out of available partitions and so couldn't make a Swap Partition.I pushed on anyway, because I read here that you can create a Swap File instead of a partition that does the same thing. I've made the Swap File and it's activated (I know because during shutdown there's a message that flashes very quickly that says "Deactivating Swap [OK]".
But here's the real problem. My Ubuntu refuses to Suspend or Hibernate. The screen just goes black and the backlight stays on. Since one of the main functions of the swap file is to facilitate Suspend and Hibernate,I upgraded from 9.10 Karmic Koala, which suspended and hibernated normally.
I am using debian 6 on an acer 5338, intel 3d integrated graphics (don't know the exact type)
When I hibernate and restore the display/fonts can be corrupted. It can be fixed by logging out and back in. Switching virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-f?) has no effect. Is there a better fix?
