LMDE suspend/hibernation failures

[lagvoker]

Hello!

Few days ago I downloaded and installed LMDE (version 201108 RC Gnome 64-bit) and I'm really happy with it.

However, I've got problems with making my Asus PL30JT with 4 GB of RAM (and NVIDIA/Intel hybrid graphic cards) suspend/hibernate. The problem is my notebook freezes when suspending or hibernating - the white "_" cursor starts to flicker and few moments later stops blinking (when hibernating, the LED diode indicating HDD activity stops blinking when the "_" cursor stops). The radiators stay active. To power off the notebook I need to hold down Power Btn for about 10 sec. So basically the problem now is to suspend/hibernate, not to recover session.

I was searching through lots of walkthroughs and advices but unfortunately without success. So I ask you to help me, please.

My fstab configuration:

Code: Select all

pablo@lagvoker ~ $ cat /etc/fstab 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

# /dev/sda8
UUID=5d0617df-288d-4816-83bf-d280a0c7bca6	/home	ext4	rw,errors=remount-ro	0	0

so swap partition is at /dev/sda7 and its uuid is: 46842d77-2706-4855-ba01-3ae79faa7531.

The uuid stored in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume looks ok:

Code: Select all

pablo@lagvoker ~ $ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 
RESUME=UUID=46842d77-2706-4855-ba01-3ae79faa7531

Result of free -m command:

Code: Select all

pablo@lagvoker ~ $ free -m

Swap:         4095          0       4095

The size of swap partition should be enough for 4GB of RAM, right?

My pm-suspend.log always looks similar to this:

Shutting them down in desktop-manager, as well as with

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r ath9k

or

Code: Select all

sudo service network-manager stop

doesn't change anything. All the time I get suspend/hibernation logs like presented before.

I don't know if it does matter, but I have installed nvidia alternative drivers from the repos (nvidia-support, nvidia-kernel-dkms etc.). What is more, I have my graphic cards configured with the debumblebee scripts, so the NVIDIA card is turned on and off only when needed.

Please let me know if there is anything I can try to make it working properly... I appreciate any help of yours. Thanks in advance!

No, I don't think so, because previously (to be more precise before kernel upgrade to version 3.0.0-1 when I had 2.6.38-2 and before that 2.6.32-5)
hibernation and suspend worked perfectly well. My pm-suspend.log showed exactly the same message as you receive (log is from the time when both hib/sus worked well):

Code: Select all

Having NetworkManager wake interfaces back up...Failed.

My problems started with the new kernel, and removing fglrx drivers and installing mesa drivers has not helped me to resolve the issue.
Anyway just wanted to make you aware of this. Personally, I am pretty sure this is a kernel bug.

[lagvoker]

Hi, mads! Thank you for your fast response. Unfortunately I was awway of my computer so I was not able to post earlier. You are probably right about this kernel bug. But can anything be done about it rather than waiting for newer kernel version?

LMDE defaultly does not print out any information when the hibernation proceeds. How can i change this behaviour to see more detailed information than in my pm-suspend.log?

What is interesting, this looks like SOMETIMES I'm able to wake my notebook up after hibernating and later pressing pwr button to make it stop. As far as I noticed, it was possible only if I got low memory usage when hibernation has been started. But still, it's very unreliable solution.

If anyone can provide any helpful information, I would be really grateful. Thanks!

After hours of searching I found an odd solution for my hibertation/suspend bug, which is similar to yours.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2 ... 00900.html

It was indeed related with the information on pm-suspend.log "Having NetworkManager put all interaces to sleep...Failed."

Hope it works for you too.

Hi,
I had the same problem and the following hint helped me:

Hope to be useful for you too.
