Ubuntu :: 10.10, Laptop Not Waking Up After Lid Close?
Apr 13, 2011
Upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 recently. (Now that was a mistake...) Problem occurring now that when I close lid of my laptop (Asus K40IN series) , which I set to suspend, it won't wake up (and I have to shut down and reboot). It used to be fine (in both Windows and 10.04) though so must've something to do with the upgrade to 10.10.
I have a laptop and wanna have it set up for going to sleep and waking up at certain time and then run certain files/programs. I used a single program for this back in windows but cant remember the name. Do yo know a program that will do this for me?
My AspireOne with Xubuntu 11.04 goes back to hibernate just after I hit a key to wake it up. I recorded a video of the problem, but this forum won't allow me to post the link. I guess you can PM if you want to watch the problem.
The trouble started immediately after I followed the instructions to test out Unity. I was going to post the link, but again, noobs like me can't do that.
I am having problems with my wuxga 1900x1200 laptop display.The machine is a Dell inspiron 8600 with nvidia chipset.I am running driver 175 from the Karmic repo. My problem is when the machine wakes up after a suspend, the display blooms to bright white.The only way I have found to recover is power off the machine. After a bit of research I suspect it may be the refresh rates in xorg.conf, but lowering the values has not changed anything. Here is what I have currently.
Code: # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder75) Wed Jan 27 03:02:48 PST 2010[code]....
orig values were horiz 30-128 and vert 50-90.I'm not sure it's the refresh...
In Ubuntu 10.10 Gnome . When I close the laptop lid I seem to get only two choices - hibernate or suspend. What i want is when i close the laptop lid I want nothing to happen.
There are real issues I'm having with network-Manager stopping and not starting when i go into suspend. it's a major hasle therefore I want to prevent any suspend or hibernate.
How do i do it so closing the lip just closes the lid and nothing else?
I have done a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. My problem is that at the login screen if I close my laptop lid, the laptop goes into suspend. This is not the effect I want. GDM doesn't respect my settings in gnome-power-preferences and I can't seem to locate any other way to configure the power preferences for GDM. I have had 11.04 installed before as an upgrade to 10.10 and I did not have this problem in that case.
Dell Latitude C610 laptop with Debian Squeeze.I am using the computer as a print and file server, accessing it with ssh, so I don't need the display (which is busted anyway). I want to close the lid without having the computer suspend. Could not find a way to make it happen with gnome-power-preferences or the BIOS settings. There is a script, /etc/acpi/lid.sh, that runs when the laptop lid switch changes. Part of the script is shown here:
Code: Select allgrep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state # this is a file of 1 line like "state: open" or presumably "state: closed" if [ $? = 0 ] # The brackets evaluate to True when the lid is closed. then if [ x$LID_SLEEP = xtrue ]; then [ -x /etc/acpi/sleep.sh ] && /etc/acpi/sleep.sh # i.e., if this file exists, then run it. exit fi ... there's more ...
The stuff that gets executed after the if [ #$ = 0 ] is the stuff that suspends the computer. So I just replaced the brackets with something that is certain to be false, so it will never happen:
Code: Select allif [ 1 = 2 ] I admit this is FAR from an elegant solution, but it seems to work and it doesn't fubar the system.
I'm using xfce, and the power manager settings, to only lock the screen when close, are not honored. The laptop suspends, no matter what, when closed. Is there a way to forcibily only allow xfce power manager to handle the close lid behavior?
I am turning my old laptop into a simple desktop. I have Ubuntu 11.04 working on it great, but now I want to do this now. Please help me. I love Ubuntu, but I am new to linux and need help. If you ask me to do something in Windows, I will most likely know how to do it. But not with linux.
when I put my lappy to sleep, it looks as if it sleeps well.the light blinks, just like when it did on windows when it slept but when I try to wake it up, it powers up the fan and hdd and i see nothing on my screen, it doesn't even light up.I am always forced to do a hard reset.do I need to blacklist a driver or something?
when I put my lappy to sleep, it looks as if it sleeps well.... the light blinks, just like when it did on windows when it slept but when I try to wake it up, it powers up the fan and hdd and i see nothing on my screen, it doesn't even light up!! I am always forced to do a hard reset I followed a debug tutorial and got this out of it:
On my desktop, I try to instantly put some disks into sleep using hdparm, for some tests. Though the disks are unmounted, they wake back up in seconds. How can it be? How can I track which process wakes a disk up with what operation? I think unmount disks should default to standby during system load.
I have an Intel DG35EC motherboard with on-board NIC. It is an Intel 82566 Gigabit NIC. It is wired, not wireless. I am using an Ubuntu "Live CD". Just out of curiosity (to see if it worked), I "suspended" Ubuntu and it suspended very well, but when I "resumed" Ubuntu the NIC would not connect back to the network. If I actually installed Ubuntu and didn't use a "Live CD" do you think it would behave differently?
I dual boot both Windows and Linux and I often put my computer to "sleep" at night so it's easy to wake up the next morning. In Windows I just need to press a few keys and my computer comes to life, in Linux this doesn't happen and I have to actually go for the power button. (This wouldn't be so bad if the computer wasn't in a hard to reach place in a cupboard) At the moment I have a USB hub which my keyboard and mouse plug into, but for the sake of testing I plugged a second USB keyboard directly into the machine itself, again neither wake it. Doing a bit of research I have discovered that the wakeup devices are stored in /proc/acpi/wakeup The contents of the file by "cat" are as follows:
Code:
monotoko@KatieIV:~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup DeviceS-state Status Sysfs node PCE2 S4*disabled pci:0000:00:02.0
[code]...
At this point I have reached a dead end, how do I tell the acpi wakeup to accept input from USB keyboard as a kickstart?
I've got Karmic installed on an HP 6930p, and with relatively little intervention, all hardware has been supported beautifully. I'm using the ATI driver for graphics. Battery life increased dramatically after an update a couple of months ago. However, occasionally (1 in 8 times maybe), the screen is black when waking from suspend. Disk wakes, etc, but the screen is off. Trying to re-suspend with fn key doesn't work. Ctrl-alt-f key combos don't work. I have to hold the pwr button down.
Since installing 10.04 yesterday my laptop will not wake correctly from sleep mode. Opening the lid wakes the machine up but the graphics are all wrong. Loads of tightly packed horizontal lines. Turning the machine off and restarting makes all ok. It's only on wake up does the problem happen. The laptop is an Acer 1652,with an ATI Mobile Radeon X300 graphics card. Intel Pentium M.
-my computer quit waking from suspend -when my computer reboots (because I had to hold in power switch until it restarted) some of the items on my screen looks wierd for a few minutes, like there are tracers on some items (dock, top of screen, etc) -when i try to wake my computer from suspend, the screen is a funny gray color with wierd blobby shapes that move around a little bit. And of course, doesn't load GUI or anything like that, just gray screen.
ever since i upgraded to 11.04 + gnome 3 the computer freezes to the point that the mouse doesnt move... for 30 seconds or so Also,if i put the computer to stand by, many times doesnt wake up properly, looks like the graphics are corrupted the mouse moves jamming until it fully freezes
I have a WD MyPassport 320GB external hdd and Ubuntu 10.10. The problem is that I can't access my drive after waking from sleep. I can't even unmount it; gives me an error like: "umount: /media/0A26FE8626FE71D5 mount disagrees with the fstab".
32 bit Lucid is hanging at random times for me. it always happens when there's some sort of full-screen overlay, like when waking from screensaver, or when using gksu (dims the screen). The machine will remain unresponsive for 30 seconds to a minute, then becomes usable again, just with the desktop not refreshed. Nothing of interest in the logs when this happens. The last thing upgraded in the machine was the graphics card (now running a GTS 450). 3d apps work just fine, temps are just fine, and I have no reason to believe it's hardware.
I'm looking to find a way to schedule my computer to wake up at say 7:00am. Every night before I go to bed, I put my computer into suspend so the fan doesn't wake me (old computer). I can't seem to find a task scheduler that allows me to be able to wake the system.
Since "upgrading" to 11.4 with KDE desktop my machine is becoming difficult to wake up. After a period of inactivity the disks power down and would power up as soon as I started a program or selected say; Dolphin from the desktop.
Now if I click on an icon I get the bouncing ball for a while and then nothing. The bouncing icon just disappears. I cannot get programs to run and this evening had to restart, which did respond. Before it shut down all the programs I had tried and failed to start proceeded to start, only to be stopped again by the shut down.
This didn't happen with 11.2. Cannot be sure it is software related but are there any checks I can do or is there a sure fire way to wake the machine up?
I am looking for an automated backup system and I like bacula. I have 3 Notebooks and a Desktop computer that need regular backup. Now I don't want to let them run all night just to do the backuping, so I was thinking I could use wake-on-lan to have bacula wake up the machines, then do the backups, and shut them down afterswards. While this may work with devices on the ethernet, it won't work with the Notebooks on the wifi. So is it possible to have the Notebooks schedules to automatically wake up from suspend or shutdown ? Or is it possible to interject a shutdown command if it is after a cerain hour and call the bacula director to start the backup now?
At home in Guangzhou, I have no problem connecting to a WPA-secured wireless router.Now I'm on vacation in another city trying to use a dLink DI-624 router. If I connect immediately after reboot, no problem. If I suspend the session and then wake the machine up again, it will try to connect and then tell me WPA authentication failed.This happens both with network manager and wicd.sysinfo says the network controller is an Atheros AR9285 (ethernet is Realtek RTL8101E/8102E, probably not relevant).Since everything works correctly with routers other than the dLink, I'd have to guess it's not a general wireless configuration problem, nor a wireless card malfunction. Maybe some bad handshaking that manifests only after waking from sleep?More out of curiosity -- I'll only be here for a few weeks and a wired connection is readily available. But, say I end up in a hotel somewhere that uses dLink for WiFi
I have had a issue with the trackpad not working (cursor does not move, does not click) after I wake up my MacBook Pro 4,1 from sleep. I am pretty sure this is an X issue and not a driver issue because if I log out the trackpad works again. This is also sporadic. Sometimes it occurs, sometimes it does not. Is there some configuration I need to set to fix this?
Brand new installation of Wheezy on 3.0.0-1 kernel. Once the computer goes to sleep the USB keyboard can't wake it up. I can plug a PS/2 keyboard and wake it up.
