Suspend "appears" to be working for me but not quite:1) the screen says "done" (3 lines of text) appear2) the screen never shuts down, nor does the "done" messages disappear3) it returns from suspend by both keyboard activity and the power button4) the pc doesn't go silent, some fans or something still making sound 5) the pc power light blinks indicating suspensionActually the pc doesn't really suspend as not only do fans run but the optical drives open and appear to read (based on blinking lights)In 11.3 suspending seemed to actually suspend and hitting the power seemed to bring it out of sleep but the monitor never came back on (indicator light displayed off color) so the suspend functionality was useless
I use frequently on my laptop the "suspend" function of opensuse 11.2.
I would like to use the "suspend" function on my desktop too running an opensuse 11.1 with default kernel 2.6.27.39, but when I restart the machine the monitor is black and the only solution is to reboot it.
Is it possible to use the "suspend" on desktop? Where is it possible to get the information to make it possible?
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 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

There is an intermittent problem with resuming from s2ram. Occasionally, the power button is pressed to resume, the screensaver comes on but the animation is frozen along with the mouse and KB. Sometimes the desktop will show although with the same frozen condition. My swap parition is 2GB. I read in the forums that a small swap partition may cause a somewhat similar condition. I also read a recommendation to disable powersaving and screensaver, again not for my exact symptoms. I would like to find the root cause even if it takes some doing. Otherwise, the system rocks (except Amarok never worked but Kaffeine works for sound). Here are the system specs:
openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 KDE 4.4.4. rel 3 HP xw9400 Workstation AMD 64 Opteron OCZ Vertex 60GB (dedicated system drive-single boot)
When I resume my system after choosing the "Suspend to RAM" option, the login prompt appears but the keyboard doesn't work at all. (Caps/Num/Scroll don't light up either) The mouse, however, works fine and I'm able to click on the on-screen elements. Since I'm not able to login, I'm forced to reboot and abort the session. Note that this does NOT happen with the "Suspend to Disk" feature. (ie, it works fine).
System Specs:
openSUSE 11.2 KDE4.3 x86_64 (updated) Sony VAIO VGN-CS17G
My system does not power off completely after I trigger the "suspend to disk" function. The monitor gets blank and the usb-mouse does not light anymore, but the power led is still on and the pc fans can be heared. Interestingly, neither pressing the power button nor the reset button starts the pc in this state. I have to unplug the electrical power and then press the power button. After that, the system resumes nicely from the hibernation state as it should. I know that the hardware itself is capable of powering off because it worked perfectly before with opensuse 10.2, and I didn't change any bios settings either. I tried the option acpi=force, but to no avail.
I've been struggling with suspend to disk (hibernate if you prefer) for a while, it works after a fresh boot and for several days' worth of overnight hibernation as I go about my work, but eventually it stops working - it gets to the splash screen but the bar only makes it a little way to the left before stopping, and then after a timeout the system just returns to the "session locked" screen - no real error messages.
I've done my best to try to find out what's causing it to break but I'm really struggling, the suspend process doesn't appear to write anything helpful to the dmesg log or the /var/log/pm-suspend.log - the only thing that I've seen at about the right point in time is cifsd, but I can't be sure that it's a problem with cifs as hibernate continues to work immediately after mounting windows shares with cifs.
I installed Gnome desktop environment recently then ;I' ve lost KDE desktop effects settings. I just can see Compiz Configirator. I cant configure effects independently. There is same settings in gnome and kde. And also I cant change windows appearence.
I don't have any problems with 9.04 at all with suspend & resume just shutdown (wont power off usb saitek keyboard & razer mouse) but i don't care for that I prefer suspend & resume. However trying 9.10 suspend works while resume gets a black screen & locks up. Now on 10.04 it will suspend very fast but will not power up from resume keyboard & usb power is turned off thats what I can't figure out I have checked bios & changes settings after settings & nothing happens. I know in windows everything works but i do not want windows at all I prefer linux (ubuntu). In my asus eee pc 1001p suspend & resume works with both 9.10 & 10.04.
I'm managing a desktop that is several states away. The person I'm working with has no internet and the computer IQ of a twig. We're running Ubuntu 10.04 It's a Dell 230 Slim tower. Ubuntu keeps trying to suspend the machine randomly for no reason. I had him disable suspend in the BIOS because the computer was just suspending sporadically. Now he gets a popup that says "Failed to Suspend, the computer failed to suspend. The failure was reported as cannot suspend"
He is running a custom Ubuntu distro I made. I have this same distro running on dozens of other computers with no issues. I can't figure out why this is happening. Is there anyway I can completely disable anything that would make the computer suspend from the CLI? Or where are the logs that I can look at to see what may be causing this? I can SSH into his machine but nothing more.
I just built my new desktop yesterday, I got elementary Jupiter (built on Ubuntu 10.10) installed and running fine on it, everything works... except for when I tell it to suspend
Upon selecting suspend, the monitor goes black for all of about a second and then comes straight back to the lock screen, pretty damn irritating.
I'm about at wit's end trying to figure out how to get Fedora 10 (can't go upgrade past that version, due to no more support for the integrated Radeon S300 graphics) on my HP Media Center desktop to resume after suspend- or to disable suspend, or anything that will prevent the computer from hanging after a period of inactivity. I have tried various combinations of noapm, noacpi, s4_nohwsig, etc., etc.; nothing helped. Actually, noacpi might have helped, I don't know, because disabling ACPI somehow disables internet as well, and I'm not willing to pay that price.I went into the CMOS RAM setup (both before and after updating the BIOS to the latest version), and the only Power options available were "After AC Power Failure," "WOL in S4," and "XD (Execute Disable)."Does anyone perchance know the magical solution to make the problem go away, aside from reverting to Windows?
P.S. The specs: Dual-Boot XP / Fedora10 with GRUB bootloader PentiumD 820(S) DC 2.8 GHz (800 MHz FSB, Socket 775)
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 a desktop system (P55-USB3 + Core i7 + Ubuntu 10.10) that fails to suspend/resume from memory. So I'm trying to diagnose the problem. The first obstacle was easy enough --- when I put the system to sleep to memory, the computer comes back alive right away. A look at /var/log/kern.log revealed that one USB device (usb10) failed to suspend, and from there I was able to pin it down to the USB3 controller in the BIOS. Disabled that and this problem disappeared.
Now, I'm stuck with the second obstacle. The computer successfully goes into the suspend mode, but it hangs during resume. The monitor doesn't get any video signal, and it fails to respond to ping (netconsole doesn't work either.) After a forced reboot (that involves unplugging the power cable), /var/log/kern.log doesn't contain any interesting entries. All the pm_test modes from freezer to core succeed (I followed [URL] I've also tried pm_trace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend) but again kern.log nor dmesg contains anything after the suspend. Either the write didn't survive the forced power off, or the resume is failing even before that. The motherboard doesn't have a serial port nor firewire, so getting kernel logs through them is not a possibility, either.
I'm having an issue when I'm trying to install SuSE linux onto my desktop.I go through all the steps and everything looks okay, but when it starts to install the packages, I get an error message that basically says:kernel.desktop - unable to install, exit status 127.I have a ATI X1950 video card in the computer, as well as a AMD 64 FX CPU in the system.
Did a clean install with 11.2 after being very impressed with the LiveCD. After installation process finished, laptop booted up and I had a green screen, no icons and a mouse cursor. REALLY liked the way the OS performed on the LIVECD and would like to give it a real shot.I can install Fedora 11, Ubuntu, Madriva and Mint Linux with no problem on the same Toshiba laptop.
I am new to Linux. I want to set up a home file/media server using Linux and have been investigating the possibility of using OpenSUSE for this task for a couple days now. I posted up some questions over at linux questions, but figured this one would be better suited for the OpenSUSE forum. My question is simple, is there any fundamental difference between OpenSUSE Server, and OpenSUSE desktop?
What I mean is, is there any difference to the basic programming of the operating system. From what I gather, when you install a Linux Distro for a server, it is just a striped down version of the desktop install. It has no GUI, and installs the complete bare minimum of software to get your server up and running. Is this correct? I am asking these questions because, as I said, I am new to Linux. I am not comfortable using command line only, and would very much like to install the desktop version of OpenSUSE, plus Samba, openSSH and Webadmin, then use that configuration for a server. Would setting up OpenSUSE as I stated above be the same as using the server install, just more "bloated?" Or is the server version of OpenSUSE coded differently?For example, comparing Windows Vista to Windows Home Server. Windows Vista isn't practical to use as a home server OS, simply because it was never coded to be one. Where as Home Server comes with software and is setup to be a server.
From what I understand, and I could be wrong, and please correct me if I am. Linux is much different. Any Linux distro can be a server, even the desktop version. You just need to get the proper programs (like Samba, SSH, Webadmin) for the job. The people who use the Server version, simply just want something less bloated then the desktop version, but the desktop version works just as good as a server if you have the proper hardware? I was debating on putting Windows Home server on the machine, but very much want to learn Linux, and figure this is as good of an opportunity as any. It also helps that a desktop install of OpenSUSE takes less resources then Windows Home Server.
I've successfully downloaded openSUSE-11.4(64-bit) ISO image from the openSUSE site,and burned the ISO image successfully into 2 DVD's separately using Nero(ver.7) But I am unable to boot up from the DVD. When I pop in the DVD into my DVD-writer,a few seconds go by with the blinking cursor,and eventually boots off to Windows.The BIOS setting of my machine has been enabled to boot from CD/DVD first before HDD. No error messages are shown while I try to boot. The burned ISO image file is O.K. as it gets successfully verified after writing on the DVD. The image file {openSUSE-11.4 (64-bit)}being 4.29GB in size
I have a Dell Inspiron M5030 and ran the live Gnome CD. everything works until I install. The install goes fine and it boots fine but when i log in it just hangs at the desktop with a spinning cursor. No menus no nothing just the wallpaper?
I installed KDE from a CD. Then decided I wanted to have Gnome has an option. I installed "gnome-desktop" via software manager (as per some other instructions on the forum) but I still have no option to choose Gnome when logging in.
What all do I choose to get the complete Gnome environment? Or is it better (& easier?) to reinstall with a DVD?
I'm installing 11.4 KDE on an Acer D255 Netbook. (dual core Atom, 1Gb RAM)
The OS runs perfectly on this PC when booting from a thumb drive, but when I install to the HDD I can't get to a GUI desktop.
If I boot "normally" I just get to a CLI with a white background in the upper left 1/4 of a black screen. It appears that it's using init 5, just no desktop. (the installer added boot option vga=0x314, I tried booting both with and without that option, and I tried nomodeset too just for chuckles, no luck.)
If I boot to Failsafe Mode I can get to a GUI desktop (boots to init 3 then I go to init 5 and startx.)
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.
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
sometimes it starts but after login (auto login) my wallpaper appears but there in no desktop (taskbar, icons, menu!) and i can't do anything!sometimes if i reboot it goes well sometime not!first time i install openSUSE, i tried to install my VGA driver (Nvidia 9400) but it fails and then i can't boot anymore so i removed and installed openSUSE again!i thinks there is something about graphic and specially Desktop Effects! i don't want to turn it off because it's very nice
