I recently installed 10.04 LTS and I have no option to suspend my desktop. I have always had the option before. I have Ubuntu installed on two other machines that can all suspend. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be hardware or would a re-install fix the issue?
View 7 RepliesThe other day somebody sat next to me whom I don't feel like entering in my password around, and I wanted to take my computer elsewhere. If I put my computer in my backpack while it's running, my computer will get hot, and the batteries will drain. So I'd like to put my computer in hibernate, or suspend mode, but my computer was already locked, and I couldn't hibernate or suspend without logging in, but I didn't want to enter my password around this guy so I could hibernate or suspend, so I was stuck.
I know there are reasons to keep things the way they are, (like maybe a server environment, etc...) and maybe it should default the way it is now, but I'd like the option to add the ability to hibernate and/or suspend when logged out, at the log in screen and/or a locked screen, without having to use a password.
What happened to the "Do nothing" option for "When the suspend button is pressed" in Lynx? It would also be useful to have a "Do nothing" option for "When the power button is pressed".

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.

pm-suspend - suspends the system, and powering RAM, but devices connected to the laptop stopped charging in suspend state.
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.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. When I partitioned my HDD, I ran out of available partitions and so couldn't make a Swap Partition.I pushed on anyway, because I read here that you can create a Swap File instead of a partition that does the same thing. I've made the Swap File and it's activated (I know because during shutdown there's a message that flashes very quickly that says "Deactivating Swap [OK]".
But here's the real problem. My Ubuntu refuses to Suspend or Hibernate. The screen just goes black and the backlight stays on. Since one of the main functions of the swap file is to facilitate Suspend and Hibernate,I upgraded from 9.10 Karmic Koala, which suspended and hibernated normally.
I'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 upgraded to Lucid last night and am now checking various things just to make sure they still work. I've found that Gnome-do won't run the "suspend" option. It does, however, still "restart" and "shutdown" OK. Anybody else having this problem?I also seem to be experiencing some of the "resume from sleep" issues which seem to be plaguing other threads. Laptop suspends fine when the lid is closed but when it's opened again it's just a black screen. Also the machine shuts down for a few seconds then starts again to a black screen.
Key presses do nothing, pushing the power button worked a couple of times but is not consistent so more often than not it needs a forced shutdown and reboot. Not an ideal situation.Suspend from the panel menu works OK and from what I can tell, if the lid is not closed then the power button will bring up the login window.
I'm running Linux Mint 9 (aka Ubuntu 10.04 + a couple of tweaks), and my machine won't wake up from suspend.It hasn't done so successfully since Ubuntu 8.04. I'm running the default graphics driver (not the proprietary NVidia one) on a quad-core Gateway FX. How can I go about figuring out the problem?
View 5 Replies View Relatedthe power management i got says it sleeps or suspends when lid is closed. but what if i closed the lid before i completed shutting down? i did that and im not sure if its wrong. the shut down took more time than usual coz i forgot Transmission was still on and when i closed the lid it appeared the laptop turned off.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have the machine suspend when idle at the gdm login screen? I understand it is possible when a user is logged in through the System > Preferences > Power Management controls. What is happening is that the computer is sitting at the login screen and stays on, wasting power. I'd like it to suspend/sleep after a timeout.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've just installed 10.04 in dual boot with xp, completed all updates and tried to suspend. My swap partition is the right size and I don't recall doing anything wrong yet when I wake up the computer after suspending it, the monitor doesn't reactivate and I've had to force it to shut down. And also, now it tells me "networking disabled".
View 2 Replies View RelatedDuring the last install of the the 2.6.32-25 kernel, I was unable to suspend. The screen would go black, but it wouldn't enter suspend. No big deal, I figured I'd just use 24 kernel. Now after the most recent update, I can't suspend in any kernel! The screen goes black, but that's about it. If I move my mouse around, it returns me to the login screen. This isn't the only suspend problem I've had. It won't suspend if there's a DVD in, and the screen used to fade out when you hit suspend, now it just goes black.Another note, the scrolling in a browser was very different. Hard to explain, but it didn't scroll smoothly. It was very "piecy" and "choppy." I worked around it with 24, but now it's stuck here with any kernel as well.
UPDATE--I am unable to play any audio as well. When I open an MP3, no sound. When I try to watch a flash video, no sound.
I have a problem with running script before/after suspend. I tried to use pm-utils for that, i just added my script and script is executed but commands which i need not.
Code:
Interesting thing is, when i use for example touch command, it created file , so i am sure, my script is executed .. this is not executed. Log did not say anything why it didn't executed. only success
Why i need it. When i am connectedd via rdesktop and i would like to go away from pc, PC automaticly turn PC into sleep, so i need to kill rdesktop . and after sleep, i would like to run it again.
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:

[ 1.355065] hash matches /build/buildd/linux-2.6.31/drivers/base/power/main.c:419
do I need to blacklist a driver or something?
The title says it all: my computer won't resume my current session after I suspend it. Nothing works, and I have to turn off the computer and start it again in order to log in.
P.S.: I'm using the latest version of ubuntu (11.04)
P.S. II: I turn the pc off by hold the power buton for 3 - 5 secs.
P.D. III: If I tap the power button, I can hear the pc start working, but the desktop stays blanked out.
I have a problem with my custom build HTPC running Ubuntu (10.10).
Specs:
Code:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5800 3.2 mhz - 2MB cache LGA775 - TRAY
GIGABYTE GA-EG41MFT-US2H DVI + HDMI + VGA (G41) - mATX
4GB RAM (2+2)
Compucase CI-7630 Desktop 250w Black - mATX
The computer won't shutdown or go to sleep. If I try to shut it down or restart it, it will hang at the Ubuntu bootup/shutdown screen forever until powered off. The more serious problem is the sleep mode (As it's an HTPC and should use sleep mode for very fast start up). When I try to suspend it, it ends in a terminal-like mode, where the last line is "Checking Battery State [OK]". It won't continue from there, sometime pressing the power button in that state will wake it up, sometimes a power off is required. Someone in the Ubuntu support chat channel told me to turn off ACPI. It didn't solve anything, but now the last line is "Setting sensor limits [OK]".
All I want to do is to be able to shut the lid on my laptop, have it go into suspend like it already does, but upon opening it again, successfully start up again. It'll sleep just fine, but if you close the lid and try to open it again later, the lights will indicate it is starting up, but the screen won't initialize, and I am left with a blank, black screen.I've tried a line of code to enter into my menu.lst file, and it seemed like it should work, but it borked my computer and I had to manually reinstate the line of code it had before.

I upgraded to latest 10.04 live x64 desktop today. Clean, fresh install.Before I was using 9.04 and had the same issue at first.I don't want the password lock screen when resuming from suspend.I disabled everything, lock in screensaver settings, all lock entries in gconf-editor. I also tried setting LOCK_SCREEN in /etc/default/acpi-support to false.Nothing helps Is this maybe a bug, since it's still beta? I don't know what else to do
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhatever way I suspend my laptop (menu, keyboard shortcut, close lid), it seems to suspend just find (no panic lights, suspend LED indicator flashing as expected). However, when i try to resume, the laptop seems to begin the proper wakeup process (for example, the DVD-drive is tested), there's a lot of HDD activity for about 5 seconds, screen does not power on, and then the laptop just shuts off.
System setup:
lucid beta 2, fully updated (just check now)
LG E-500 laptop /w nvidia gforce mobile 8400G
bios version 1.17 from June 2007 (not sure this is important)
Things I tried:
* Completely remove anything to do with gpu drivers and installed nvidia-current driver.
* Suspend stress test described here. this didn't work at all. The first test failed (with ac adapter attached) and the second test suspended but didn't automatically resume (see "the behavior" above). Also, when I booted up again, no apport bug report is created. I tried both with rtc set to utc=yes and utc=no. with utc=yes, the second test did automatically resume, but the same problem happened (laptop shutdown while resuming).
* The debugging steps described here, but I couldn't get the "no_console_suspend" option to work. I tried adding both "no_console_suspend" and "no_console_suspend=1" (without quotes) to the boot script in the grub menu, but when I did pm-suspend in tty1, the laptop really did suspend. I would like to try to do this again if someone could explain how to add this option.
Notes:
* Not sure this is relevant, but when I boot up after a failed resume attempt, wireless network is disabled (this only happens after a failed resume!!!).
* I found a package called nvram-wakeup in synaptic that seems to be related to this. This package is not installed. Should I install it?
In case this is relevant, forgot to mention I'm running ubuntu in dual-boot along side windows7.
