Hardware :: Suspend / Wake And CPU Visualization
Jun 18, 2010
Here is the latest in my saga of me vs. Suspend in Utuntu.
Dell Studio XPS 8000 desktop
i7-860 CPU
8 GB RAM
swap area set to 9 GB (because I was experimenting with hibernate)
nVIdia GeForce GT220 1 GB
Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, all patches, nVidia-current 195.36.24
So I was poking around in BIOS and looking at CPU Features. I have also a problem with my VMWare machines sucking up a core or 2 at 100% after suspending and waking the host. Just for the halibut I Disabled CPU Visualization. My VMWare XP guest now starts up a lot faster! (?) and I have discovered. If I do a suspend of the host BEFORE starting and LOGGING IN to a VM it seems to work great. I can wake the host and am presented with the locked screen dialog asking for my password. I have done about 20 suspend/wakes with no problems. So far, so good.
Upon further testing I find that I can start a VMWare or Virtualbox XP guest machine and still suspend/wake - at least so far with a limited number of tries. Most importantly, if I log into the guest (VMWare or Virtualbox) I find that suspend/wake fails 100% of the time. By fail I mean that the host suspends but when I attempt to wake it I find that I am logged out of the host and all programs which were running at suspend time are no longer running. Firefox restores the previous session indicating that it was shut down incorrectly or unexpectedly.

I'm running Linux Mint 9 (aka Ubuntu 10.04 + a couple of tweaks), and my machine won't wake up from suspend.It hasn't done so successfully since Ubuntu 8.04. I'm running the default graphics driver (not the proprietary NVidia one) on a quad-core Gateway FX. How can I go about figuring out the problem?

All I want to do is to be able to shut the lid on my laptop, have it go into suspend like it already does, but upon opening it again, successfully start up again. It'll sleep just fine, but if you close the lid and try to open it again later, the lights will indicate it is starting up, but the screen won't initialize, and I am left with a blank, black screen.I've tried a line of code to enter into my menu.lst file, and it seemed like it should work, but it borked my computer and I had to manually reinstate the line of code it had before.

For some reason when I wake my computer up, there is no sound. No matter what I try through the terminal, or by playing with the volume controls, no audio. I can only get audio working again by a restart.
Does anybody know why, and/or how to fix?

My computer runs really well when I first switch on, and usually I'll leave it on all day, and just suspend it when I'm not using it.But since a couple of days ago, it's been playing up after waking from suspend. Everything slows to a crawl, and the system monitor shows the CPU working at 96-100% permanently, even when I'm not doing anything.It's not like I even have many apps open. Generally I'll have a few tabs going on Opera, have Thunderbird open, and Gwibber. I'll open and close gedit and gimp as I need them, and that's about it. Having said that, this new version of Thunderbird seems very slow to me compared with the previous one.

Suspend worked before I completely reinstalled Testing from scratch. Now it seems to suspend OK, but when it tries to wake up it fails. Details here: [URL]

I have an Acer 1551 4755, with Debian Squeeze. Normally my Debian Squeeze installations and suspending work fine on my other 2 laptops. For some reason this one is troubled. I can put into sleep with "pm-suspend" or "pm-hibernate" but the thing is that my laptop never wakes up. I endup restarting.
here is the hardware and module list

I use my laptop connected to an external monitor, so I would like it to wake up from suspend with a wireless keyboard. I could manage to do it when the lid is open, however, when the laptop lid is closed, it doesn't. So I need to open laptop lid each time and it is annoying.
This is how I make it wake up with wireless keyboard:
# echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup
I'm using debian jessie. How to make it work when lid is closed?

Firstly, wol works fine from shutdown and hibernate; it's just suspend which doesn't work.
I've got 2 types of workstations, all running 11.1. They both have this kernel:
2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Type 1 is a dell optiplex 745, bios version 2.4.1. Here's the relevant bit from lspci:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
Kernel driver in use: tg3
Kernel modules: tg3
[Code]....
The fact that it's happening across two different machines makes me wonder if it is some OS setting I've missed, but then maybe neither card/driver supports it from suspend.
I'd really like to get them waking from suspend because training users to use suspend rather than hibernate would be a pain. Also, being able to configure such that it only wakes from suspend and not hibernate/shutdown, as implied in the bios, would allow me to wake machines up for backups etc only when the users are here, rather than on holiday/seconded to another department etc.

I have an USB keyboard attached to a laptop, and I can suspend the laptop via the sleep button on the keyboard. However, I can't wake the computer again by using either the connected USB mouse or the keyboard. How do I fix this? I am running Ubuntu Netbook Version 10.04.

I've had this problem two times before and solved it once by following a guide, the other time by formatting. It always happens when it fails to wake up from suspend. Usually I am unable to even mount the drive or access the files. This one is different in that now I can actually access my files for the most part but this comes up on boot. I backed up most of my files (except it still says I don't have permission to access some of them) but I would like to get it back up and running without formatting. If I boot in recovery mode it stops at this. I took a picture but I rewrote some of it here.
Firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 00016c000061b4b4. S4???
in/sh: cannot open ro
Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!

I am running 11.04. After an update about a week and a half ago, the time to wake from suspend increased from about 3 seconds to well over 40 seconds. It now, sometimes, takes me longer to wake from suspend than a normal boot takes. Has anyone else encountered this problem/found a fix or workaround?

I am trying to make my computer to wake from suspend by either pressing a key or clicking the mouse. (It doesn't by default.) I have a Logitech EX100 Cordless Desktop. I tried enabling USB1 (the port the receiver is plugged into) in /proc/acpi/wakeup, but now the computer wakes up instantly when I try to put it to sleep. Anyone know how to make it stay asleep, and then wake up when I either click the mouse or press a key?

I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE (upgraded to Tumbleweed but that's not relevant here). The computer is a Dell Optiplex. My sleep (suspend to ram) and wake (restore from ram) work very well. The box can multiboot to windows 7 as well as to Linux.
In Linux, the restore process is triggered by pressing the power button on the front of the case. No other action will bring it awake.
In windows, the restore process is triggered by the power button but also by moving the mouse or touching the Escape key, spacebar etc.
Here's the question: how do I get the computer to wake in Linux by activating a key (or mouse, whatever) instead of just the power button (which is under the desk and hard to get to)?

I have problems to get it work. i have tried to use pm-utils, but it does nothing.
What is need is to kill application, when pc is going into suspend to ram and run that application again on wake. It's a graphical application.

While using winamp in windows, you are able to set the visualization to "desktop mode" in which the visualization takes up your icons and covers your desktop while playing music. Is this possible to do in linux?

I need to install a program called Visit [URL] which is a visualization program. The install can be onerous to say the least so they have created a script to help. [URL]
1. In the Fedora Linux scheme of things where should it be installed?
2. How do I run the script?

Fedora 15 uses scidavis (Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization) taken from Fedora 14. If you try to build the native rpm package, an error occurs in building the documentation. A 1-line sed in the spec file solves the problem:
Code:
#fix spurious-executable-perm
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} ;
#fix docbook to adapt different versions of fedora
sed -i "s/VER-REL/`rpm -q docbook-dtds|sed "s/^[^0-9]*//;s/.noarch//;
s/./\./g"`/" manual/docbook-en/index.docbook
#
# ---> sed line to fix Fedora15 building:
sed -i -e 's/xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2/xsl-stylesheets-1.76.1/' manual/scidavis_html.xsl
#
#fix default path for fitPlugins
sed -i "s/usr/lib/%{name}/plugins\%{_libdir}/%{name}/pluginsg"
%{name}/src/ApplicationWindow.cpp
sed -i -e 's/Qt;Science;Physics;Math;Graphics;/Education;Science;DataVisualization;Qt/' %{name}/%{name}.desktop

I am looking for a beat visualizer (for lack of a better word) to use full screen when playing music on my computer. What do I mean by that? I know there are a lot of visualizers out there that create colored swirls and spectrum analyzers and stuff based on the waveform of the music being played (e.g. Goom). But they do not really visualize the music to any great extent. If you play Mozart or if you play Chemical Brothers it does not do all that much of a difference visually.
What I want is a visualizer that reflects the music to some degree, and in particular the main beat. If there is a strong thumping beat I want that to be reflected on the screen at the same time as the beat plays through the speaker. Here is a simple example illustrating what I mean (forward to 1:00): [URL]
Please note that it is not the simplicity in the video I am looking for, it was just that this video did well in illustrating the main principle. If possible I would like to have swirls and smooth animations also (like Goom) but the most important thing is that it should reflect the music in a more direct way and be perfectly synchronized with the beat.

If I suspend this toshiba satellite, and the battery is or gets low it will wake from suspend to tell me that it will need to suspend due to a critical low battery. Which is pretty dumb. I've experimented with this by plugging and unplugging the ac adapter.

3 questions i have about "pm-suspend-hybrid"
1. is it possible to schedule this command in the same manner as shutdown ? eg sudo shutdown -h 60
2. is it possible to schedule the laptop to come out of suspend ?
3. i have a usb sound card (xfi go). when waking from suspend, the internal sound card is selected. i have to manually select the external sound card & for whatever reason, also unmute it too

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.

I want to run a script on wake but it doesn't look like /etc/acpi/resume.d exists in Lucid. I tried creating it anyway, but I didn't have any luck. Is this because HAL has been removed? Is there a new method in Lucid?
