I'm running a SUSE 11.3 64 bit with the kernel installed friom repo when I send the hard disk suspension the screen goes black, the SUSE chameleon image appear on the screen for about a second with a progress bar ,then the monitor goes into standby ,the system still running and I have to manually restart. I also tried to run s2disk-r / dev/sdb6 console or via pm-hibernate with similar results. I have ever had similar problems with previous openSUSE (swap partition is not defined, problems of user privileges to be assigned for the suspension) but I was always able to solve them, this time I have no idea what it might be. One thing I noticed is that the swap is not used, even if enabled, but basically I do not even the heavily occupied RAM.
I am attaching my configuration files:
more /boot/grub/menu.lst

I just installed openSUSE 11.3 but cannot get hibernation (or suspend to disk) working. It does not go to hibernation but instead it just locks the screen. The relevant error in /var/log/pm-suspend.log looks like below.
According to /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/30s2disk-check '/dev/dm-1' must be the swap partition. What i don't understand is that why the error says swap partition is not active. There is no error for swap partition during boot time. Boot message says that swap partition is activated.
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/06autofs hibernate hibernate:Shutting down automount ..done success. /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/30s2disk-check hibernate hibernate:INFO: checking for suspend-to-disk prerequisites... ERROR: resume partition '/dev/dm-1' not active, can not suspend

Below is fdisk -l information for the disk which has swap partition.

I have been having problems hibernating my windows 7 partition recently. It happened approximately right after I set up the dual boot.
I have found other topics where it says to make sure that the windows 7 partition is marked as the active partition. I have since done so and it has not changed anything. I did it with Partition Magic on Windows. I did find it suspicious though that my Dell Recovery partition is labeled as boot while the Windows one is marked as Active and System.
However when I looked at it using disk utility in Ubuntu the windows 7 partition is marked as Bootable while the recovery partition is not.
Hibernation works on Ubuntu with a couple error messages while shutting down and some weird screen issues while booting up. But it ends up working decently.
Under Disk Utility the Ubuntu Partition is not marked as Bootable. Should it be?
I made a hibernation on my laptop.(Suspend to disk) After I tried to wake up, boot screen appeared, then a splash screen with loading bar.After the bar reached 100%, nothing happens. It hangs, no keys are working. Just a splash screen with gecko and 100% loaded bar.
Recently, I found my system can't sleep or hibernation. Whatever I click "sleep(suspend to memory)" or "hibernation(suspend to disk), the system just lock the screen, don't sleep really.
I have been running SUSE 11.1 on my HP laptop for over a year. For the most part, I am thrilled with it. However, when I awaken the computer from hibernation mode, I have to go into the Network Settings applet proceed with the wizard in order to get my wireless connection working.
Another irritating aspect is that if I go to a place with a Wireless Hotspot, the computer doesn't automatically pick it up. Again, I have to go through the Network Settings applet to get it working.
I want this to work as it does on Windows XP/Vista where I can put the computer to sleep and when I awaken it, then the wireless connection is automatically there for me, etc.
I have to think I probably need to tweak a setting somewhere, so if someone can tell me where to do this, great!
I am using an internal wireless card (Atheros AR928X PCI-EXPRESS). If you need additional info, let me know.
Running Opensuse 11.1 on an HP laptop. When I resume from hibernation or standby, I usually have to wait for about a minute for the wireless card to find my router. Is there any way to speed up this time to connect process ?
Interestingly when I boot from cold, the wireless connection is most times ready to go as soon as the boot has finished. So just wondering how I can make things quicker for resume from standby or hibernation
I created a thread about a problem a I had with my hard disk clicking whilst idle little while ago and I may now have stumbled upon a possible solution. The strange thing with the problem is that Ubuntu/Kubuntu didn't cause this problem but Opensuse 11.2 does.
I installed Fedora 13 to have a glimpse of what all the fuss was about and noticed that I had the same problem (hard disk clicking whilst idle ~ every 20 secs or so). Now there's a wiki on this subject and a few bug reports: [url]
Problem Description
Some ATA harddrives perform very frequent head unloads under Linux significantly shortening their lifespans. Root cause
The inactivity timer for head unload is configured too aggressively either via ATA APM (Advanced Power Management) feature or other non-standard means. Such aggressive settings are very fragile to changes in IO pattern and under Linux many such drives unload their heads only to re-load them shortly. Note that this relentless unloading/reloading cycle can also be triggered under Windows by installing programs which can alter the IO pattern (e.g. certain vaccine programs which runs in background).
Now two of the listed models with this problem are basically identical to my model (Dell Inspiron 1520) and basically share the same hardware: Dell Vostro 1500 and XPS 1520.
The workaround listed is to:
set APM to 254
Furthermore, there is a script: Storage-Fixup which can also be downloaded from opensuse software search. Indeed there is a report of this for a Vostro 1500: Gmane Loom
The report suggests looking at: Disk Power Management - openSUSE which lists a method to create a configuration file to management disk power management:
My question is whether I could download the storage-fixup rpm [url] has a description of it and it can be found: Software.openSUSE.org) and install it to (hopefully) solve the issue or should I follow the method given in: Disk Power Management - openSUSE
My dual proc, dual core Opteron MSI Master2FAR motherboard failed, and I try to boot a disk, used on this board as boot disk, on an Intel based Gigabyte GA-965-DS3. Both systems are x86_64 architecture.
The OS is on both systems is openSUSE 11.1.
On booting the disk on the Gigabyte, the disk is seen correctly by the BIOS, but not by the OS, and there is no /dev/sdX; no /dev/disk/... either. I am taken to a login shell from the ramdisk.
When I just mount this disk on the Gigabyte (booted with the Gigabyte's original boot disk) everything seems fine. No suprise to me, since the disk was fine, and was unmounted gracefully and physically taken off the MSI before the board failed.
I think that the cause lies in the fact that the harddisk controller on the Gigabyte is different from the MSI, and the driver for that controller is not available at boot time.
I have two questions:
- is my assumption correct, or is something else going on?
- if I am right, is there a way to get this disk booting on the Gigabyte (or on another system, for that matter)?
You might want to ask why I want to boot this disk on the Gigabyte in the first place, since I can mount it and see all data on it. I have a reason for that, but telling that story would make this topic too long, and it's too off-topic. Most certainly I will get to that in another topic.
I didn't know where to post it exactly. You can see the Screenshot at the Tab bar, and it's not the only thing that bugs.. Many things and pictures disturb like this, from Desktop wallpaper and files and folders, to text and pictures.
on my laptop, I have configured my power button to hibernate the system. It works, but once a while the system, after booting and while almost being where Gnome desktop appears, reboots itself from scratch.
Configuration:
- EeePC 1000HE - Debian Squeeze up-to-date - Hard-disk encryption via LVM installed while installing the system
Every other time my system comes out of hibernation, I see the blue Fedora screen loading like the computer is powering back on, and all of the sudden the screen goes blank, as if it shut itself back off. The funny thing is the power button is still on, but there is no display. Has anyone heard of this issue before. I'm not sure what to try to get it fixed
I am looking for the log messages where I can find out what time my netbook hibernated? I have checked in the /var/log. And all I could see was pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Is there one which would tell me what time my computer hibernated? The reason for this is when I go out I leave my netbook running on the battery. When the battery get to about 5% it will hibernate. I just what to see what time it did hibernate?
I'm running 9.10, how do I wake up from sleep or hibernation on my Dell XPS notebook? I have no problem putting the comp to sleep/hiber but can't seem to work out the keys to wake it up again.
I don't get any responses from the keys even when I try CAPS LOCK or NUM LOCK, so all I can do is reach for the on/off switch.
I am using uswsusp / s2disk and it hibernates fine. Then, on resume, it apparently completes the resume (reaches 100%) but it never progresses to the actual resumed system and gets stuck on this screen: Before upgrading from 9.04 to 10.04 it worked fine. It does not anymore.
I'm having trouble resuming from hibernation. The splash screen loads up with "Resuming from /dev/sda6" (this is the correct partition) and the HDD light shows it's reading the drive. It then stops reading and the loading animation starts up (I'm running Lucid). Then nothing, just the animation. I recently updated initramfs-tools to 0.98ubuntu2~lucid as hibernation wouldn't work at all with the old version (see [URL]). I've also installed this script because of errors on hibernation.
ASUS P5Q Deluxe, Intel Core 2 Duo, GeForce 8800, 4GB RAM, USB keyboard and mouse never had problems with suspend and hibernation in Ubuntu. Until the latest version 10.10. Both before and after installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers, the system enters the sleep and hibernate but I can not wake up properly. Specifically, while it looks as it starts up, but not fires up the X server. Oddly - operate only CTRL + ALT + F1-12. You can switch to the text cosole, see the "incentive" to sign but other keys do not work and nothing can be entered. Not working CTRL + ALT + DEL as well, so you need to turn off the system power.
i have a gateway E-4000 desktop computer with linux mint 7 on it and it has went into hibernation mode and wont wake up. you can cut it on and it loads the linux mint page then it goes to a black screen and wont do anything else what can i do to get it to wake up
Ubuntu booting up from hibernation is not faster compared to complete start up. In windows, you can feel the boot-up is faster if you hibernate your PC earlier. But in ubuntu, i dont feel that, to boot up from hibernation, it takes quite long time, not faster than complete new start-up.
I've recently added a new hard disk and due to mother board controllers this new hard disk is known as sda.Before that my boot partition was /dev/sda3 and know this changed to sdb3.Whenever grub menu appears and I choose opensuse,it can't find /dev/sda3 .It seems that I should edit menu.lst or change boot loader parameter.something like root (hd1,2).But I don't how I can do this with opensuse boot loader.Though I could do this with CentOS easily.
How to completely disable hibernation in Debian Squeeze (with KDE). If it's impossible to disable it for whole system, I want to hide button in KDE menu.
I get all into this, I want to make sure i should be posting this here or a windows board. I have win7 and fedora 14 installed on my laptop and can boot back and forth between the two no problem. The trouble I am having though is that when I get windows to hibernate, it doesn't. It did before I installed fedora and the grub loader so that's the only thing that I can attribute it to. I've seen a bunch of threads that have addressed this problem (on windows and linux forums) but none of them have been successful for me.
I would like to save the state of my windows. I use many of them at once for programming. With the hibernation mode, I can do that, it work. I want to know how can I do that if I completely shutdonw the computer.
I apologize in advance.. I searched and there is way too much information on this board and wasnt sure what was applicable to my case. I suspect that I prematurely closed the lid on my netbook last night when shutting down...my wife heard beeping noises early this morning but wasnt sure where they came from. I think it was the netbook forcing shutdown from hibernation due to low batteries.
Computer wouldnt boot this morning and I get the following error code...
This may be a noob question, but I can't find the option to set the computer to hibernate after a given idle time. In the Power options there is an option to suspend, but not to hibernate.
