Ubuntu :: Suspend / Hibernate Instantly Reboots Computer?

Oct 25, 2010

A weird problem arose a few months ago in my box and has plagued me ever since: the PC immediately reboots whenever I try to suspend or hibernate Ubuntu. It's actually instantaneous, as if I pushed the reset button.Way more days into googling than I wished I had to, I have tried just about every solution related to suspension/hibernation problems,but none really applies to the exact situation I'm experiencing, since most are about being unable to resume after suspending/hibernating, and in my case it seems the system is instantly killed and therefore doesn't even start said operation.

After rebooting, applications behave exactly as when the PC is hard-reset, which I think is an indication that running processes aren't being properly terminated and the system is just going down abruptly (if the less-than-a-second it takes to go down and restart the boot sequence isn't obvious enough).Before you ask:

everything was working fine before;

upgraded to Maverick but the problem remained;

every suspend/hibernate method that I know of (GUI, CLI) does the same;

can't easily test in another OS since I only have Ubuntu installed (no dual-boot or the like);swap partition is larger than RAM; /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume is pointing to the correct swap UUID;

tried several SUSPEND_METHODS and video-related options in /etc/default/acpi-support;

enabling/disabling the acpid and acpi_support services in BUM (Boot-Up Manager) has no effect;

enabling/disabling BIOS STR (Suspend-To-RAM)-related options has no effect;

unsetting NvAGP or setting it to 1 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no effect;

adding/removing the agpgart and intel_agp modules to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf has no effect;

installing the hibernate package has no effect;

not sure what I'd be looking for, but nothing strikes me as relevant in /var/log/messages.

This is really strange. May it be a hardware failure of some sort? What else can I try to work this one out or at the very least understand what's happening?

Ubuntu :: Suspend Or Hibernate / Computer Refuses To Go Into Hibernate Or Suspend?

Mar 16, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Computer Will Not Resume From Hibernate/suspend?

Apr 7, 2010

I just got a Dell Inspiron 1764 and am dual booting it with Win7 and Ubuntu 9.10.Whenever I hibernate or suspend, it goes through everything fine, but then when I resume it just boots to a black screen and I have to do a hard shutdown. Is there a fix for this? I know it's a fairly common issue.

Software :: Computer Will Not Restore From Hibernate - Just Does A Normal Boot - But Suspend To Ram Is Working

Mar 8, 2011

I have Debian 6 (squeeze), I have also seen this under Ubuntu (can not remember how I fixed it).

I can hibernate, but when I switch on the system cold boots (it does not restore previous session).

Note suspend works fine. Have looked in /var/log/pm-suspend.log Shows for each suspend suspend block a resume suspend block, but hibernate hibernate' is not followed by resume hibernate` ( I assume that this is not correct. )

Update on what I have discovered: I have discovered that the uswsusp package is missing from debian squeeze. I could get it from testing or unstable repository, but have to be careful about not pulling in other dependencies. I would like to know if it will fix it. Is uswsusp needed for hibernate. Or should pm-utils be enough. (suspend it ram is working fine.)

Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Instantly Bluescreens And Reboots After Using 10.04?

Aug 2, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 on my laptop about a month back and I have been very, very pleased with its maturity and stability. However, I have seem to have hit a snag with my ventures into desktop Linux: I also dual-boot Windows 7 Professional x64, and it seems that every time I run Ubuntu 10.04, Windows 7 will immediately bluescreen on boot, reboot, and then be fine. I'm not sure what kind of harm this could be doing to the system, but it strikes me as very odd, and it's something I would like to resolve.

I have suspected this may have to do with mounting NTFS drives under Ubuntu, because my Windows OS and all of my media is stored on NTFS partitions. Needless to say, I would really rather not change this, because NTFS seems to be one of the few filesystems with large-file-support that will run with ease under Windows and Linux.

I have tried removing my main Windows 7 OS partition from the fstab in Ubuntu to see if that made any difference, but the problem persists. Could a secondary NTFS media partition mounted in Ubuntu really cause these sort of issues?

CentOS 5 :: Fresh Install 5.6 Won't Boot - Reboots Instantly On Selecting From Grub

May 14, 2011

I just installed 5.6 using the x86_64 netinstall - all appeared to go well, albeit a little slowly. At the end of the install i rebooted the machine but CentOS won't load. If I select the CentOS option from grub (only other option is 'other') the machine instantly reboots.

Only options selected for install where 'server' and 'server gui'.

Editing the CentOS options shows the following but I've no idea whether this is correct or not (assume it is):

root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-238.e15 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.18-238.e15.img

General :: Cousin Unplugged The Computer - Freezes And The Computer Reboots Over And Over

Apr 17, 2009

I boot linux from a usb drive so I can carry my distro wherever I go - I've been doing it for quite some time now and it's always worked wonderfully. Problem: This morning my little cousin unplugged the computer WHILE I was booting into linux. Power loss has happened before, but with no ill effects. This time however, it's decided it won't boot. The screen clears, and just as GRUB is about to load, it freezes and the computer reboots over and over.

I booted to a LiveCD of Ubuntu to try and fsck the drive, but it won't mount the volume. I've worked with this install so long, and have customized it so much I **really** don't want to do a reinstall.. What can I do?

Ubuntu :: Can't Suspend Or Hibernate?

Apr 13, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Log Files For Suspend/hibernate?

Jan 12, 2011

which ubuntu log file records when a suspend happened?I was ssh'ing into my ubuntu box periodically yesterday, when I discovered that it was no longer reachable. On getting home last night I discovered that it was still switched on, but I think in suspend mode as moving the mouse brought it back to life. The clock however, still showed 12:15pm, which is roughly when I stopped being able to ssh to it. I'd like to see the logs to confirm this.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Suspend Or Hibernate?

Feb 12, 2011

My Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop Lenovo T400 is not able to suspend or hibernate. Whenever I click Suspend or Hibernate in Startup options of the OS: * the moon LED on the bottom of the lid flashes a few seconds, the screen quickly shows something like "some devices fail to suspend, error 5", * and then the moon LED goes off and the display still has ambient light illumination. I suppose in suspend or hibernation state, the display should have no illumination, just like when the laptop is turned off, right? * If I press any key, the unlock screen dialogue will pop out. I have installed 'acpi-support' and 'hibernate 1.99-1.1'. But I don't know how to use these methods to suspend or hibernate my OS. Are they by commands in terminate, or can they be called by clicking Suspend or Hibernate in Startup options of the OS? For example, I type the hibernation command and it shows something is missing although I have installed "tuxonice-userui" ( I don't know if it will provide Tuxonice binary signature file):

Code:
$ sudo hibernate
hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found.

Ubuntu :: Laptop Suddenly Won't Hibernate Or Suspend?

Feb 25, 2010

I think it might have to do with an app I installed called Jupiter (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jupiter/) that missed with my power configs, I removed it but I still can't hibernate or suspend. Whenever I try to do either, my screen fades to black and nothing happens. If I move the mouse or touch the keyboard, it comes back.

Ubuntu :: Disable Suspend And Hibernate Options?

May 8, 2010

I was looking for a way to disable the Suspend and Hibernate options from the logout menu as my laptop hangs on both and requires unplugging/battery removal to restart.

I found a few pages with instructions for older Ubuntu versions but I didn't come across anything that applied directly to 10.04 Lucid Lynx so I thought I'd post what I found worked for me on 10.04.

Open a Terminal from the Applications>Accessories>Terminal. Because the file you will be editing requires root privileges to edit, you will need to use the sudo command:

Code:
sudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy

Enter your password. This will then open the settings file in the text editor with the needed permissions (opening the file directly with the editor you will get an error message if you try to save the file). There are two sections in this file, the first for suspend and the second for hibernate. Near the end of each section will be a line with:

Code:
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>

Change this from Yes to No to disable. Save the changes and reboot.

Code:
<allow_active>no</allow_active>

Now the power menu will not display these options. To reverse changes just repeat the above and change from no back to yes.

Ubuntu :: Thinkpad - No Suspend / Hibernate Or Resume

May 9, 2010

I've got a Thinkpad X31 with ATI M6 Ly card. Since Karmic, and Lucid, I get no suspend/hibernate/resume. If/when I select resume or close the lid, Lucid goes through the suspend cycle, and for approximately half a second it actually seems to go into suspend, then the screen comes back on, black, but definitely on, and absolutely no response to any keyboard input - have to hard-shutdown by holding down the power button. I've read that the problem is with the Ubuntu kernel, and that installing/compiling 2.6.33 fixes the issue, but causes other ones.

Ubuntu :: Add Option To Allow Hibernate And Suspend When Loged Out

Sep 7, 2010

The 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.

Ubuntu :: Screen Flicker After Suspend / Hibernate?

All is in the thread title. When I log back in after suspend or hibernate I get a lot of flickering on the screen. I noticed (I think) that it calms down a bit when streaming video from the net, if that gives any clue...

Ubuntu :: Hangs On Suspend/hibernate Screen?

Jan 12, 2011

Ok so I'm still a bit of a Ubuntu n00b and I just installed 10.04 on my new laptop (Asus U35F) and it's working pretty well except for one problem.. Every time the laptop goes to sleep/suspends/hibernates, when I try to resume it again it hangs. So I end up seeing the screen to re-log in and I can usually move my mouse around and start typing my password in and all of that for maybe a second, but after that it just freezes!

Especially since right now Ubuntu is the only operating system I have running, and since I use this in school and need to conserve battery as much as possible so it stays running through 6 hours of class, I really need to get this fixed up soon..

Ubuntu :: No Suspend Or Hibernate - System Froze

Mar 31, 2011

Machine is a Dell Optiplex GX260, Pentium 4 with ATI Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500]. I believe this is an AGP graphics card. I also believe that the graphics card is the root of my problem. In Karmic, I could get the computer to suspend. but it would not resume. The monitor would not initiate and it seemed as though the system froze. Only way out was a hard reboot. Hibernate worked for me without any problems, so it was no deal breaker. Now in Meerkat, Suspend behaves exactly as before. However, I can not get the system to go into hibernation.

The monitor goes down, but the system seems to freeze and never go down. I have tried editing the options in the acpi-support file to no avail. I have tried disabling compiz (which works amazingly well with this card), to no avail. I am using the open-source drivers and I have not tried the closed-source drivers in this system. I tried the closed-source drivers in Karmic and they made no difference. I may try un-installing the ATI card and fall back on the on-board Intel chipset to see if that solves the problem. Only then, I will loose 3d effects, etc.
