Ubuntu :: Suspend Function Is Not Working Properly?
May 22, 2010
Computer is an ACER Power F6, BIOS AMI F6, XPPro installed, C only 80 Gygabites, 2 Gyg RAM, 3000MHZ Pentium4.today I installed 10.0.4 from Canonical 32 bit, all was ok,I followed the suggested dual boot partition and proceedings,which gave XP 44 Gyga and Ubuntu 37 Gyga ,successfully finished install,rebooted and began updating and customizing with great zest as I was really happy about this new version. then I decided to make a break of an hour and thought : 'let's try now the suspend function as i read about it not working properly sometimes'.....so an hour later i tried to revive from suspension,but the pc remains utterly insensitive and black.Tried Del to get into BIOS,F12 to get to boot config,BART PE disk i made for an XP machine in the past, and tried to boot again from the live Ubuntu Cd .....all in vain.I suspect it might be the fact the BIOS was set by me for
1st Floppy
2nd CDROM
3rd HD or PenDrive
as this machine I inherited since a few days dates back to 2006 and has no burner only CD-DVD reader and Floppy is disabled in BIOS.After Ubuntu install the machine stopped for a long time on a black screen with white reading about errors during install,then I reset it and it seemed like a good install anyway.Apart from checking if the HD is still ok,what can I do or try in such a situation?
I have no sound after the Suspend function. I am running OSS4.I usually run "sudo soundoff && sudo soundon" after closing any applications using the sound... however, this is just a temporary solution. I suspend quite a lot, and so doing this over and over can get irritating.
I have a centos 5.5 server running great, but i am having issues with my xen vm01 virtual machine. The first probelm is, i have created the vm01 fine and it was running ( even though i can not login into it ) by running:
I have been using an XFX 5770 with Windows 7 in EyeFinity and running a 5760x1080 resolution. My setup is as follows for Windows
x3 Viewsonic VA2223WM monitors (vga/dvi only)
I have two monitors connected connected with DVI and my 3rd monitor is connected with a DVI to Active Display port adapter, bizlink brand. This works wonderfully in Windows 7.
I cannot get my 3 displays to function properly in Ubuntu. I have tried removing the display port adapter and connecting my 3rd monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable and still no success. I can only use any of my 3 monitors in a dual configuration...how do I get the 3rd extended? Using the ATI driver that was auto downloaded for me...
I just wanted to check, I'm using nouveau on Fedora 12 with the latest updates and each time I wake the machine from suspend, the fan on my XFX 8800GT goes to full speed and stays there. I've read some nouveau stuff and they say that nouveau doesn't control the fan speed, so I think the card is running in a safety mode after wake up where it runs the fan at full speed to be safe. The only suggestion I saw for fan speed and nouveau was to use nvclock to manually adjust the fan but that sounds dangerous to me. I think I'll just go to the closed rpmfusion driver then if this is the case.
I have a simple fileserver built of my good old ASUS TX97 with K6-III 400 MHz. It boots the latest debian stable from a PATA 1G IDE flashdisk. For almost 3 years I have hooked on a SATA Samsung HD502JI 500G harddisk onto a VIA VT6421 based SATA Controller, which work real fine. Since I ran out of diskspace I bought a Samsung HD204UI 2T drive, hung it on the second SATA port, and it took about 8 hours to copy the 500G data from the old disk to the new one. All seems fine this far. However, if I stream a movie from the 2T drive, the movie freezes every now and then, and Dmesg get spammed with errors. The 500G disk still works fine.Of course the VIA SATA is just SATA 1.0 (1.5Gbit/s), but I thought all harddisks are backwards compatible. Since the 2T drive is recognized, the serial line-protocol is fine I suppose. I have also flashed the latest F4EG firmware to the HD204UI succesfully.
i'm using ASUS K40IE laptop, installed Ubuntu 10.10 and online upgraded to 11.04 (natty), and i have a problem about my wifi.This laptop using Fn+F2 to enable/disable wifi (using Windows work properly with driver from asus) and have a Led that trigger on/off.Using ubuntu, that's shortcut it's useless. i press Fn+F2 many times, but that led indicator never turn off. Is there a way to make that shortcut can function properly? Actually, i'm not often using wifi, so i want to make it default disable on start up. Both ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04 can't using this shortcut.
When I put my computer running Ubuntu 9.10 into suspend or hibernate the screen goes black with a little flashing underscore in the corner and when I try to bring the computer out of suspend or hibernate nothing happens and I am forced to manually reboot.
I have our own C written program code which is communicating with a third party C++ written program code to run a moving device. We have successfully communicated with the third party code with wrapper functions. (Thanks to member in LQ that helped me solved this.)Now, we tried to run some functions to move the device. I think it is better for me to attach the related code first. pro.c (The source code we used to run the device)
The announcement of several new make scripts in the 2.6.32 release notes is very exciting.1.8. Easy local kernel configuration.Most people uses the kernel shipped by distros - and that's good. But some people like to compile their own kernels from kernel.org, or maybe they like following the Linux development and want to try it. Configuring your own kernel, however, has become a very difficult and tedious task - there're too many options, and some times userspace software will stop working if you don't enable some key option. You can use a standard distro .config file, but it takes too many time to compile all the options it enables.
To make easier the process of configuration, a new build target has been added: make localmodconfig. It runs "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG. Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. With this tool, you can strip a distro .config of all the unuseful drivers that are not needed in our machine, and it will take much less time to build the kernel. There's an additional "make localyesconfig" target, in case you don't want to use modules and/or initrds.
the problem i am experiencing on my laptop (hp pavillion zv5000) which runs ubuntustudio 9.10 (this problem also occurred with ubuntu 9.10, before i upgraded to ubuntu studio) is that whenever i view a video on firefox, be it videos, metacafe, and generally any site where you can see online videos, the video glitches a lot, and after a few seconds firefox grays out, and is not responsive, which means i either have to kill firefox.i am running firefox 3.5.7 with the ubuntu firefox modifications 0.8 pack added. in the preferences, on the content tab the enable java button is not ticked. the following is the list of plugins i have on firefox:
Occasionally when I suspend my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6) it begins the suspend process, but then the fan goes to full speed and my laptop remains in that state until I press and hold the power button to turn it off. The end of the messages log is:

Karmic 2.6.31-22-generic, Asus M3N78-EM, MCE remote with USB/IR dongle, latest Bios, Bios PM enable and set for suspend S3. IT will suspend but I need to depress case power button for it to resume. I want to use my remote control, I also can not get it to resume from Keyboard/mouse (See Note Below). Only suspend and power button work.

I just built my new desktop yesterday, I got elementary Jupiter (built on Ubuntu 10.10) installed and running fine on it, everything works... except for when I tell it to suspend
Upon selecting suspend, the monitor goes black for all of about a second and then comes straight back to the lock screen, pretty damn irritating.
After suspending my computer, the battery icon doesn't work anymore (nothing happens when I put my mouse over it and it doesn't detect wether the computer is plugged in or not). Also, the brightness of the computer doesn't change when I plug/unplug the computer. All of that works fine before i suspend the computer.
When I try either one I just get the lock screen where I have to enter my password to return to my session, but the computer never suspends or hibernates.
After 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!
I have two problems, that I can live with, but they are just annoying for tha afact that I don't know how to fix them.1. My suspend does not work. Hibernation works - after I turn on after the hibernation, screen is blank, I have to move the mouse for the login window to appear. For Suspend, I get to the black screen, but then nothing happens - when I move the mouse or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, nothing. It is a laptop, if that makes a difference.2. When booting, I get a table of choices - the new kernel, the old kernel, memtests and the long gone windows partition. There is no /etc/grub/menu.lst and I've got no idea how to change this.
EDIT: I found my problem--the box next to headphone box had been unticked, and I feel like a total doof for not having found that during my first two hours of trying to fix this. But I could still use some help figuring out my suspend problems issue--I've heard constantly turning a compy on and off is bad for it somehow.
A couple days ago I attempted to put my computer into suspend mode. When I used regular Ubuntu, this seldom worked. My hard drive would continue spinning, and the computer would not come out of this state until I cut the power and restarted. I thought it might be worth giving a try in Xubuntu, but I ran into the same problems, only this time, the audio would not work when I booted up.
I'm using the 64-bit version of Xubuntu, and this is a relatively fresh install (within the past two weeks) from the version 10.10 DVD, so I haven't had too much time to fudge up the settings yet, so I think it might not be entirely my fault. (: I've checked the hardware, and everything is plugged in and turned on, and I'm getting sound when I boot up Windows.
I may have done something afterwards, though. My first attempt at fixing the problem was to follow these instructions, but I really didn't understand entirely what I was doing. I tried fiddling around with the alsa mixer, but that didn't help me at all, and now it has even disappeared from the upper right-hand corner of my screen--on the toolbar. (If there's a way I could get that back and restore the default settings, [EDIT: I found alsamixer in the applications menu.]
I'd like to have audio working again, but I'm not really sure what's wrong or how to fix it. I'm still reading through Introduction to the Command Line, but as my previous attempt to solve this issue shows, I'm not smart enough to be afraid of entering commands in that I completely do not understand (yet).
I installed the Autocomplete plugin http:[url].... for gedit and it works great. But when I ran it as root "sudo gedit ...", Autocomplete is not on the list of plugin and the auto complete function is not working.Is it possible to make the plugin available to all users?
I have ubuntu 10.04 installed. I have a problem when my usb IR receiver is connected, than suspend mode isn't working. System will jump into black screen and that's all. Only hard reset works. I tested this problem also on ubuntu 9.04 and situation is the same.Is there any way how to force suspend mode without "looking" on this device? Do you need any log file to trace reason of this problem ?
I have a headless 10.04 ubuntu server ( running at home. Because I am a student I want to save some power by suspending the server when I really don't need it (school, sleep etc.). I have gotten WOL to work for me, BUT the suspend does not work.
I have tried pm-suspend and s2ram, but they both have same result; I lose all control (seems like a freeze) from my SSH, but it does not disconnect, and the server responds to pings. But I cant connect via ssh, or use the fileserver or any of the roles it has. I assume there might be something locking it when it tries to suspend, but I really don't know where to start looking (logs and stuff). I have googled quite a bit, but almost all failed suspends are some funky laptop issues, and this is not...
My problem is this: when I suspend, sound disappears, and I have to reboot to get it back, which is, needless to say, rather annoying. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with a low-latency kernel.
I have three sound cards: 1) Delta 1010LT, which uses snd_ice1712 2) Sound Blaster Audigy 2, which uses snd_emu10k1 3) Some on-board Realtek thingy, which I guess uses snd_hda_codec_realtek
I use jack on the Delta1010LT, and I run pulseaudio through jack.
When, after a suspend, I try to restart jack via qjackct, it gives up and prompt the following:
Code: Acquire audio card Audio1 creating alsa driver ... hw:M1010LT|hw:M1010LT|128|2|44100|0|0|nomon|swmeter|-|32bit Using ALSA driver ICE1712 running on card 1 - M Audio Delta 1010LT at 0xec00, irq 16 configuring for 44100Hz, period = 128 frames (2.9 ms), buffer = 2 periods code....
There should be the suspend and hibernate buttons in th System Menu, but there is only two options, Shut down and Log off.Also, in the Power Manager Preferences window, it has no option for suspend and hibernate.
This isn't the biggest deal in the world, but I would like to know how to suspend to ram with qdbus in order to make a shortcut. I used to (11.3) do: qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/powerdevil suspend 2 and make the shortcut meta S. Now in 11.4 if I manually type it into terminal qdbus says it cannot find .suspend in /modules/powerdevil at org.kde.kded. Did something change in 11.4? I also tried accessing it from org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement to no avail.
