Problems in Karmic waking up from suspend/hibernate

[rpras]

So my iBook G3 successfully suspends itself when I close the lid. However, upon opening the lid, the display gets completely messed up. I can see the login screen and the password prompt -- even be able to type my password in but it never fixes its display.

Have you been able to successfully wake up from a suspend/hibernate? Did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

I recommend compiling pbbuttonsd.

Thanks for the pointer! I just checked -- pbbuttonsd 0.7.9-2ubuntu4 installed on my iBook. I'll give the latest version -- 0.8.1a -- a try.

[linuxopjemac]

Is it in the Ubuntu repository ? I don't think so...

0.7.9-2ubuntu4 is but not 0.8.1a. You have to compile it yourself. It compiled fine for me -- still testing.

Did you ever get it working? I'm in the same boat with my G3 iBook, though I don't even get a password prompt from it. It's just completely messed up.

[Chauncellor]

I compiled pbbuttons myself and tried it out. Same thing is happening. Should I be able to use the following command to sleep my machine?

sudo pbbuttonsd sleep

It won't sleep if I use that command. This is the output:

INFO: Initialized: SysFS Backlight Driver
INFO: Initialized: OSS Mixer

[alexmurray]

ibam_stub.cpp is part of the source - you should try running:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Instead of just 'sudo make install' - ie. configure and compile it as a user, then just install using sudo.

I installed the 2.6.32-14-powerpc kernel from Lucid's repositories. Suspend works!

I have a strange issue, however. The first time I suspend the machine since power on, it will take two or so minutes to start up, after which my wireless card WILL NOT activate, no matter what command I use. The second time I suspend, however, resume is extremely quick and wireless works. WEIRD.

Also, I feel that I should mention this, but this is not what fixed things (as I kept testing per package update): I have also updated xorg, my radeon drivers, and pm-utils from the current lucid repositories.

Really! use that kernel!

Here's my pm-suspend.log:

I have suspend and resume working properly on my iBook with the standard Karmic kernel. I had to do two things to get this to work:

First, the wireless modules (airport and orinoco) need to be unloaded on suspend and reloaded on resume. I did this by adding a file /etc/pm/config.d/local-sleep-modules, containing the line:

SUSPEND_MODULES="ohci_hcd airport orinoco"

(Note: I already had the module ohci_hcd there before. I'm not sure unloading it is needed anymore.)

Second, the display needs to switch to a text terminal before suspending. I did this by adding a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/00-local-chvt, containing the following lines (adapted from /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video):


#!/bin/sh

. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

maybe_chvt()
{
fgconsole |savestate console
chvt 63
}

maybe_deallocvt()
{
state_exists console || return
chvt $(restorestate console)
deallocvt 63
}

case "$1" in
suspend) maybe_chvt ;;
hibernate) maybe_chvt ;;
resume) maybe_deallocvt;;
thaw) maybe_deallocvt ;;
help) help ;;
esac

This switching would happen automatically if the iBook's display driver did not have the 'no-chvt' quirk set (not sure why it's a quirk not to need to change the terminal).

What about screen dimming on the same iBook G3 model? WPA, reliable hibernate and suspend, and screen dimming are the things that are keeping from ubuntu right now. (yeah I know I want it all) and for the most part I get it all with slackintosh. http://www.ant2ne.com/?p=173 I'd prefer ubuntu though.

[Chauncellor]

Well, I'm glad that you have a good solution for this, but I can't use it as my ibook died on me :). The LCD died on me and it's not worth getting another.

Hope this helps someone else, though!

[mvz]

The LCD died on me and it's not worth getting another.


Is that the infamous iBook backlight problem (http://schwarztech.us/articles/ibookcable)? If you're comfortable opening up laptops, you may be able to fix it. Let me know if you need details.

[Chauncellor]

Huh. Didn't know about that problem.

I had completely dismanted the little piece of junk and I checked all the wires and connections: They all seemed to be intact. It's...erm...a little late for recovery at this point ;).

Thanks for the help, though :)

[ant2ne]

I spent some time and I got ubuntu working on my 800Mhz iBook G3 to my satisfaction.

My requirements
1 Functional Linux OS with GUI
2 Ethernet, and wifi with WPA
3 Power management including screen dimming and quick and reliable suspend and hibernation.
4 Ability to easily install applications with apt-get
