Suspend does not work

[jasonpeinko]

Suspending does not work, nor does hibernation, they will suspend or hibernate to the respective states, but upon waking from them it goes to a black screen and sits there.

suspend/hibernate buttons are buggy when i supend or hibernate sound went off and couldnt get it back so maybe you want to remove them xD they gave me a lot of problems

[jasonpeinko]

which buttons?

I have tried both the keyboard and the standard menu.

I found a solution for you tho xD

install via apt-get CompizConfig
then in General Options go to Display Settings and disable Sync to VBlank


If problem persists also try changing some values in /etc/default/acpi-support

most notable change should be changing POST_VIDEO=true to POST_VIDEO=false

Suspend to RAM is working as expected with no issues, using kpowersave. Kubuntu 8.10 fully updated, 4GB RAM and 2GB swap space.

editing the file did not work, and compiz settings manager is not in repos yet. How do i try to suspend to ram?

My suspend woes started about 2 days ago as well
at the begining of this week I could suspend and hibernate.
Now hibernate still works fine but on resuming from suspend I get the desktop wallpaper and an active cursor and nothing else.
I cannot restart X
I have no terminals
I cannot reisub to reboot only the power button works
Any ideas?

You are luckier then me, i still only get a black screen.
