Slackware :: KDE 4.4.3 Does Not Return From Suspend
May 6, 2010
I upgraded to 4.4.3 from 4.4.2 this morning from AlienBob's packages (although I see they are now part of -current, but the mirrors are still behind) and I can no longer return from suspend on my laptop. I get a black screen with a mouse pointer that moves freely but it does not bring up my desktop. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will bring me back to the console as it should, but this is a huge step backward. A few times I got a message about a new screen being detected after resuming but now it's just blank. I am running an intel onboard graphics card on an Asus laptop.

In 2.6.37rc and later, there began an issue with regard to resuming my bttv card after suspend. The problem is that the tuner device is no longer seen upon resume after suspend. Luckily, I have found that the issue appears only when both bttv & radeon are loaded prior to suspend. So I am able to resolve/avoid the issue if
1) bttv loaded & radeon unloaded
2) bttv unloaded & radeon loaded
While I may revisit bisecting, I would like to have a pretty good idea on what to focus on. I have already tried to slim down the kernel to the key drivers during bisect, but I want to look more how the interaction of the two drivers plays into it. What I need is some background on suspend, some hardware specs, or some type of suspend debugger/hints where to look. Since the tuner is a dead simple device, it is hard to see where it could go wrong. So perhaps it is the PCI bus. The radeon card is PCI-X, and the tuner card is PCI. But it could also be I2C or SMBUS? Also note that in the prior kernel, 2.6.36, it is perfectly fine.

I am running Lucid on this machine, but I have had this problem on every machine with Snort. When I awaken the system from suspend or hibernation, snort pegs out one of the CPUs.

I'm using ubuntu 8.04 . Each time I return form suspend mode, the network icon in the right upper conner show a sign "!", which maybe mean there's limited network connection as in windwos. How can I solve this problem?

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.

When I run startx from a console in Slackware 13.0 the prompt does not return and the console becomes useless. The console does not respond to any keys except to print control characters on the screen. Shouldn't the prompt return in the console after x is running? I have to login on a different console if I want to use a console.

I've been searching LQ and google for a fix to get suspend to ram working on my asus ul80j (I had already added the resume=/dev/sda2 (my swap partiton) to lilo, but machine wasn't suspending properly (hd still whirring) and would not resume at all. The fix for the asus a52 and asus k52 documented at this thread worked on my asus ul80j as well! All I had to do was save the following code as /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom_ehci_hcd :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# File: "/etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd".
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Unbind ehci_hcd for first device 0000:00:1a.0:
echo -n "0000:00:1a.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
# Unbind ehci_hcd for second device 0000:00:1d.0:
[Code]...

I'm using the version 13 of Slackware. I can't suspend or hibernate my OS. I need something named HAL.
Searched a bit on the net but couldn't really figure something out.

In 13.1 I had my laptop set to suspend when the lid is closed and have installed 13.37 now and even though its set to suspend when lid is closed it never does. I am in the power group and if I click on the battery in and choose suspend it will so I have to suspend manually.

While this is the second notebook I've had the luxury of running Slackware on, I have never used the the suspend to RAM / swap functions so all of this is new to me. With this new notebook and new installation of Slackware 13.1 I decided to give it a shot as it's definitely a power sucker. The machine is a Lenovo W510 with an NVidia graphics card running KDE. When I tell KDE to go to Sleep (RAM suspension) it looks like it does so properly by blanking the screen and pushing things to RAM. Is there a way to verify that Sleep is working? Anyway after unlocking the system my mouse pointer is no longer visible, however it is still active as I can hover over items to reveal their popups.
At this point none of my conky displays are transparent anymore, nor are they actively displaying stats. The windows I have set to display with 88% opacity are no longer as such and are completely opaque. It is as if all the custom window settings are ignored. If I move the the mouse towards the bottom of the screen the screen starts to go crazy with this rainbow of colors across the top of the screen and the only way to get out of this is to press Ctrl-ESC to bring up a System Activity window. I have not tried Hibernate yet as I would like to get this resolved first. Is Slackware 13.1 supposed to be able to Sleep/Hibernate with no special configuration and creation of scripts provided that the system can handle these functions?

Laptop 1 is an acer aspire 5570. closing and opening the lid works a few times, after editing acpi_handler.sh, and battery life reporting is ok during this time. then, for no apparent reason, the laptop no longer responds to the lid closing, and no longer seems to be able to read the battery charge state. once this has occurred, the computer will also no longer restart, it tries a few times, with lights flashing and the hd making ugly noises. the only way to extricate the computer from this state is to pull and reinsert the battery.
Laptop 2 is a gateway nv18. suspend/resume with the lid are ok, mostly. the issure here is no display at all in x. but the computer does respond to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x, with the command prompt returning. still not good. I'm trying a fresh install on the gateway, to see if this was just an installation glitch.
Both laptops performed flawlessly in 13 otherwise.

Slackware 13.1 installed clean on a new ThinkPad Edge (version 13 inch with AMD Processor and ATI graphics). I can get most of what I want working fine except for suspend and resume. I read somewhere that I should be using generic rather than huge kernel, so I have done that and scrapped ATI proprietary driver in case that was causing problems, but nothing so far has allowed me to suspend and resume with pm-suspend, acpitool suspend or with KDE suspend command. In all cases the screen blanks and the single ThinkPad red LED goes from on to blinking, but nothing seems to wake the machine up again. I had both suspend and hibernate working fine with Slack 13.1 on an older Lenovo laptop and ubuntu users report on their forums that this laptop does suspend and resume "out of the box" so I feel it must be possible.

I have a new clean install of 64bit current slackware on a machine which previously run 12.1 to 13.1. It had suspend to ram working quite reliable before, but now i get black screen (sometimes with nonresponding mouse cursor on it) at every second or third wake-up.
I found out that it is not a complete lockup - full access to kde desktop could be restored by hitting alt+sysrq+s followed by alt+sysrq+l several times. I wonder what is causing this? How to get it to wake up normally at once?
Edit: I've installed latest nvidia drivers (260.19.44) for GeForce 8500GT card - previous version (260.19.21) of drivers exhibited the same behaviour in my current install of slack.

I can still play sound through other programs, but ncmpcpp and sonata both stay stuck on 'paused'.I can kill mpd, then restart it, and verbose logging indicates success, but restarting either client results in the same behavior.'rc.alsa restart' has no effect, and modprobe -r snd* results in 'fatal * module in use' despite that i have no sound applications running but sound still works fine in audacity and other programs.

I have run into the following problem, after I installed the proprietary AMD/ATI driver for my videocard I've been unable to wake up my laptop after suspend to RAM, it suspends ok (I guess?) but when I try to wake it up the screen doesn't turn on so I have to manually shut down the laptop.
before installing the proprietary driver, it worked ok
the videocard is a Radeon HD 3200, and the processor is an AMD Turion X2 Mobile

I have a Dell latitude D620, suspended to ram and resumed and when I move the mouse the display goes crazy. It looks like an old TV with the horizontal hold messed up. IIRC this runs an intel video card, I'll double check when I get home.

Currently running Slackware 13.37 64-bit on a notebook and finally have suspend/hibernate after realizing that USB devices, especially USB HDDs, need to be disconnected before suspend/hibernate can work. Problem is I have 2 USB HDDs that are connected to my notebook whenever the notebook is stationary for the extra storage so I'd like to create a script that would get invoked that would stop the suspend/hibernate process if certain partitions are mounted. I know what I would like to accomplish, but I have basic scripting knowledge
1. script would basically store a user specified string containing devices that are non-USB, ie: $NONUSB="/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
2. possibly use /etc/mtab to get a list of what is currently mounted and then remove lines containing whatever is specified in $NONUSB and store those values in $USB
3. run a for loop that executes 'umount' on each token in $USB
3a. stop suspend/hibernate process if 'umount' fails at any point
3b. if 'umount' passes then suspend/hibernate

Using the most recent -current/13.37, I'm curious if there is a New Right Way to suspend as a regular user from the command line, now that we've got PolicyKit/ConsoleKit running the show. I've seen some things (e.g., on the Archlinux wiki) that seem to come close, but require UPower. For some reason I can't wrap my head around the PolicyKit documentation well enough to figure this out.
My old solution was to add a line to /etc/sudoers giving anyone in the power group access to pm-suspend, pm-hibernate, and shutdown, and this is probably what I'll end up doing with 13.37.

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'm trying to figure out the syntax needed to run a command that will spew out output (which I don't need) but go back to allowing me to run other commands without closing that program.Basically I run:
Code:
./utserver
and it starts and gives output but I want to run other commands without needing to open a new tab or close that program.

i am having two small issues with a function i have made.sorry if it is a mess, i am still learning bash.the first is calling the nonpersistssh function (second line) and assigning the return value to nonpersistdiag.the function returns 1, but nonpersistdiag seems to only contain 0. i am unsure on how to proceed.the second problem is the nested else clause on line 10. it is a syntactical error. how would i declare it correctly?
Code: function endsession(){
nonpersistdiag=$[nonpersistssh]# a function that returns an exit code
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop; sshdiag=$?

ok, I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 and it displayed my screen with a gui. I then pressed alt-ctrl-f2 and it displayed a textual desktop. I pressed alt-ctrl-f3 and it displayed the same thing. When I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 to return to my gui, it would not let me return to a gui. I was stuck in a cmd line textual desktop.
How, without restarting, do i return to a gui once I press alt-ctrl-f2??

I was playing with kde, system tray and widgets. Now all system tray is gone, even if I add it I can not change its size etc. Also my other visual features have changed accidently as well. Plus I can not retrieve workspace icon (4 small windows). I want to return kde to its default setting, like first time.Dist is Slackware 13.0 64bit and Kde 4.0
