I've been happily using this lappie with LTS but wanted to try out 11.04. It looks great but wireless has been an issue:
1. No wireless during install
2. Had to manually blacklist the rt2860pci etc modules
3. Wireless still not resuming after suspend

The latter manual mod improved things slightly but still no cigar
I've just a had laptop meltdown which resulted in the acquisition of a replacement (HP635) sporting a realtek wireless NIC. Found the drivers and installed them and all is well. HOWEVER, the card is not activated on wake from sleep mode. This is kind of astounding to me. Every crappy windows version that I've used can handle this situation. Many searches, however have failed to yield any help. After every resume from sleep mode I have to run ifup to start wlan0. Surely this is not the only way it can be? I have to assume that I'm not getting something simple, and someone here can point out my failing. or if you can just sympathize. running 11.4 here using the realtek 8192 driver set to start at boot time. Though none of the other settings have had any effect on this problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRunning 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've upgraded 4 boxes (32- and 64-bit) from Suse 11.1 to 11.2 with no unresolvable issues. Now I'm stuck with my 5th box, a Dell Dimension 8400 desktop box (yes, an old brick, 32-bit). I can suspend to RAM ("suspend") and to disk ("hibernate") fine, but resume seems to fail. In Suse 11.1 I used kpowersave (GUI in the sys tray) to suspend to RAM. For some reason, it couldn't suspend to disk but that didn't bother me. kpowersave relies on the powersaved running.
Note I had upgraded my 11.1 installation to all shiny and new KDE 4.3 stuff, and while KDE 4.3 seems not to use powersaved (and thus kpowersave) all worked fine. Upgrading to 11.2 has removed kpowersave and powersaved. I don't mind switching to another way if only I could find documentation what's being used on KDE 4.3 (and/or Suse 11.2). All I find by googling is that the daemon used is powerdevil, and that I should use a GUI for suspending (this battery monitoring plasma app).
Well, if I do that on this box it simply does -- nothing. So I tried s2ram and a2disk directly:Running s2ram with the --force option works, but the box doesn't resume. Goes on, screen stays blank, mouse and keyboard don't work. s2disk complains about not being able to "stat the resume device file". I gave it the --resume_device /dev/sda6 option, and it hibernated fine. But it doesn't resume. Pressing the power on button just starts Suse anew (and recovers the file system journals, so I assume it thinks it has crashed before).
So I think I have 2 questions:
What the heck does Suse 11.2 use for suspend/hibernate and resume? Is there any how-to available to learn what I need to configure?
Why can't I resume from successful s2ram or s2disk operations? /var/log/pm-suspend-log or pm-powersave-log don't provide any clues.
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

I am just beginning with Linux - please take pity on me.
I've set up a media box for mythtv based on OpenSUSE 11.3 and LXDE. By default, the screen gets locked prior to a suspend. On resume, therefore, the screen is locked and requires a password to unlock. I need to disable this action. In KDE4, I can do that by going to the power management settings and un-selecting the appropriate check box. In LXDE, however, I can find no such settings. There must be a config file somewhere that I can tweak to turn off the screen lock prior to suspend, but I have no idea what it is.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy ThinkPad X32 doesn't shut off the backlight when I suspend it. It also doesn't resume properly. Shutdown works normally. I'm using OpenSuse 11.3 Gnome. Had the same issue with an install of Linux Mint Debian Edition (201101). It is a well-known Debian issue that has evidently trickled down through Ubuntu to Mint. It also exists in Fedora. In search of a distro that would handle suspend/resume without problems, I first tried Scientific Linux. Suspend/resume worked flawlessly, but I was not happy with the package manager in SL, which leaves it to the user to resolve dependency issues that are automatically handled by Synaptic in Mint/Ubuntu/Debian and by the Package Manager in OpenSuse.
OpenSuse 11.3 Gnome had the same problem - the backlight remained on upon suspend, and resume didn't work at all. I solved this issue by making a simple change in a start-up file in OpenSuse. I'm hoping the solution will work in Mint as well, as it is my favorite distro which I have used for three years. The solution:
1. With OpenSuse: open a terminal and type gnomesu gedit /etc/grub/menu.lst. When prompted, type your root password and click OK.
2. Gedit opens with the menu.lst file displayed. Down the page a bit, you'll see several sections that begin with "###Don't change this comment"
3. The first section gives details for the default boot operating system. Somewhere in this long spec, you'll find "vga=0x314" or vga=(something different for your system).
4. Just before or after this part, type "nomodeset" separated from the vga spec by a space.
5. Save the file and reboot. In OpenSuse, suspend/resume now works normally.
someone could let future readers know where the menu.lst file is located under Linux Mint. In the past, I've found it frustrating to try to edit the menu spec with Mint 10 versions, which use Grub2.
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
The good news: 11.4 seems to have much better support for my radeon graphics driver which makes many of my workarounds for 11.3 unnecessary
The bad news: whereas previously for 11.2, 11.3 using traditional ifup meant that I could easily restore internet (either wlan0 or eth0) with ifdown/ifup now this seems to have no effect. I haven't investigated further yet since without internet on hibernate or suspend 11.4 is not my grub of choice at the moment
There seem to be quite a few glitches with the 'stable' release of 11.4 but this seems to be the main problem for me. (Minimizing the beta 4 Firefox windows closing them is another...)
I've just started using OpenSuse 11.2 KDE. I have KDE4.4 installed. I had this issue with KDE 3.4 as well. My HP Multimedia DV3065 laptop is encountering an issue with suspend/restore. After restoring, the mouse is frozen. I have already tried a few things.
1. Dropping to init 1 and then back up to init 5 did not provide a temporary fix. So this is probably hardware related in some sense (kernel?)
2. I tried a grub option (cant remember what it is now). i8500-reset something like that. It made no difference.
3. I tried modifying my 99ZGrub file per another posts suggested solution. That actually locked up my laptop and I could not reboot (even after a cold boot). I pulled the battery and let it sit for a bit and it booted again
So I have several issues..
1. I would like suspend to restore my mouse.
2. I have not figured out how to program my Sleep button to Sleep. My menu bar icon has Log Out / Restart / Turn Off. The ALT+F1 menu tab Leave has those plus Sleep and Hibernate.
The PC is a Toshiba laptop model# x205-s9359 running 11.2, KDE 4.3.5. Its video card is an nVidia 8700 GT. For two years now I've been plagued by random flashes, flickers and even missing scan lines on my screen when I use the nVidia drivers (up to and including 195.36.15), so lately I've been using the nv drivers. I miss the effects, etc. but I can live with that. At least I can get my work done, even if the display isn't as fancy as I'd like.
- When I run the nv drivers I can't suspend the PC to RAM or Disk. This means a lot of wasted time waiting for the machine to shut down and reboot every time I leave my desk for any length of time. If I try to suspend to RAM the only thing that happens is that the network connection disconnects then reconnects immediately. Here's the log file....
- If I try to suspend to Disk the PC appears to suspend as expected, but when it resumes it hangs before restarting X, and there's no keyboard or power button response. I have to use alt-prtsc-reisub to reboot. When the reboot is complete the screen shows all the windows, etc that were present before the suspend. Here's that log file....
-When I run the nVidia drivers the suspend/resume functions work perfectly, but I have to put up with all the problems described above. Here's the log file for Suspend to RAM with nVidia, and here's the one for Suspend to Disk.
I've spent hours searching for clues in these forums, on the openSUSE.org site in general, at KDE.org and with Google and I'm sorry to say that most of I've found is horribly out of date, and/or it's way over my head. or (worst of all) not even dated, so I've no idea whether it's current info relevant to my situation or so out of date that I might do real harm if I were to trust it. (RANT: Is it too hard to put a date on an article?... end of RANT) I'd be quite content to use the nv drivers if I could solve the power management issues, but I'd be equally happy to solve the flickering etc. with nVidia drivers.
To workaround the kio_smb madness, I set up shares to be mounted via /etc/fstab. It works flawlessly until I suspend my laptop. Coming back from suspend, samba mounts are not being re-mounted automatically. Since I'm new to opensuse, I wish to ask you:
Is there a polished way to make this happen, in opensuse approach?
Or shall I just go and toy with scripts in the init.d (or what is it in suse)?
As much as I could figure, I checked in yast, and smbfs service is signed as "Yes".

I'm setting up an HTPC (Zotac IONITX-F in a Silverstone ML02-MXR case with remote) running XBMC on top of a minimal karmic install. So far I've managed to get everything running including the tricky stuff: wireless, lcdpro and lirc. I did have the same samba/dhcp conflict described in this thread, so I opted for a static IP solution instead of the usual dhcp connection with the router (D-link DIR-615) reserving an IP for the MAC-address.

I recently installed 10.10 Maverick on a lenovo S12, and I've been having problems with the wireless connection. First I installed the Broadcom B43 driver. This driver seems to work well except upon resume, I'm no longer connected, and wireless is disabled, and the 'enable wireless' is grayed out and I can't seem to find a way to enable it besides a restart.
I tried what is suggested in this post: [url]

I also tried the Broadcom STA driver. This was only better in that after resuming it tried to reconnect, but never managed to.
On my Sid laptop with iwlagn as the wireless driver, I use gnome with network manager. I lost all wireless capability when laptop failed to come out of suspend.
I have the power manager set up to suspend when the lid is closed. This morning when I opened the lid I got a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Without thinking, I forced shutdown with the power button. I know, don't say it. When I booted up I had no wireless at all. lspci doesn't recognize wlan0 lsmod shows iwlagn is still there I performed the following:
# modprobe -r iwlagn
# modprobe iwlagn
Now I have two drives on this laptop and Squeeze is on the other drive. When I boot into squeeze I have wireless activated.
I have FC 12 install on a Compaq nx9600 that comes with a Broadcom BMC4306 wireless card. I'm not sure what my kernel is, but I have all of the updates for FC 12.Whenever my laptop resumes from Hibernation/Suspend my Enable Wireless check box in the Network Manager is greyed out and it will not come back till I reboot the computer. Is there any one out there that can help with this problem, as I do not want to disable my Hibernation/Suspend as I tend to forget to turn the laptop off for a few days on end, and this beast sucks a lot of power so it is a drain on my power bill.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrade from Hardy to Lucid, wireless card (Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 ) was extremely slow and not really functional. I installed the madwifi driver following the instructions from Ubuntu Wiki and wireless works now. But, after suspend Network Manager nor Wicd could scan for any wirelss networks.
I found a workaround: in console, run "dhclient" and, magically, while the scan for Ip address is going on, suddenly also Network Manager starts connecting to my default access point!

My laptop won't resume after it suspends. It works fine under win 7 so it's not the hardware. The light says it's on and it's pretty much a blank screen. I'm not sure whether it's operational but the screen is off. It has exactly the same resault a waiting for the blank screen except it won't go back on.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 via the upgrade manager. Prior to the upgrade I was able to suspend and hibernate without any problems. Now that I have upgraded to 10.04, I can suspend however when I resume I am back at the gdm login prompt, logging in again with a new session.Having just done another test whilst writing this, it actually appears that if I select suspend from the top right I am suspended and can resume my session. If I close the lid on my laptop (which is supposed to suspend) I am logged out and suspended.Also, Hibernate doesn't work as well - sometimes it never actually hibernates (just sits on a black screen) and sometimes it doesn't resume (it's never hibernated and resumed correctly since the upgrade)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and have it set to dual-boot with windows 7 on my gateway tablet PC. Since installing, sometimes when I suspend or reboot, my wireless does not work. To be more clear - it is working fine, then I either suspend/reboot, then I come back and no wireless networks show up at all. I can still connect with ethernet cable though. I can solve it by rebooting multiple times (usually around 1-5 times) and then it (magically) seems to work again. I have also tried switching from network-manager to wicd, but the problem persists. With both network-manager and wicd, I've tried simulating a reboot for the wireless by using the command 'sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 && sudo modprobe iwl3945' (network-manager) and 'sudo /etc/init.d/wicd restart' (wicd), but these do not seem to work.

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.
