11.04 suspend causes logout

[nathany]

I just installed Ubuntu for the first time on an old computer I have laying around. When I choose suspend from the gnome power menu, it appears to suspend correctly, except that when I resume I find I have been logged out.

The OS is a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit; the only change I've made is adding the rt3562sta driver for my wireless net card (but I checked and I get this problem even with that module disabled).

The computer is a Pentium 4 desktop I first built 7 years ago. Abit IC7 motherboard (intel 875 chipset), Nvidia 7800gs GPU.

Any help would be appreciated.

i think its not logout , when you are going to place it for suspend and then resume its generally going to ask a password to get back the user to desktop .

Thank you for your response, but I assure you that I know the difference between a locked screen and a logout. All open user applications are closed and the login screen is shown, which is distinctly different than the lock screen.

hi
have you updated your system, if not please update it and then give a try , i hope it will be fixed . i found one similar issue and kernel update solved it .please update your system .

System is up to date.

If it's helpful, here is /var/log/pm-suspend.log (for a single suspend-resume):

Is there anything being logged in either ~/.xsession-errors.old, /var/log/syslog, or /var/log/Xorg.0.log at the time of the resume logout?

[nathany]

/var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't appear to contain anything near time of suspend/resume

/var/log/syslog contains a massive amount of data, I'm not sure what I'd be looking for exactly. I can just give you everything at roughly the correct timestamp if you'd like.

~/.xsession-errors.old is here: http://pastebin.com/LD5ArbjZ

Sure. It would be interesting to see if there is anything there of interest.

Looks like X is crashing.

What about:

dmesg | grep PM:

What nvidia driver do you have installed? Did you install the restricted driver for "Additional Drivers"?

'dmseg | grep PM:' produces no output



I did select the nvidia proprietary drivers. The Ubuntu "additional drivers" tool shows:

NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173): This driver is not activated.
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]: This driver is activated but not currently in use.

This is interesting:

Sep 15 17:55:09 bismuth gdm-simple-slave[5214]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf': No such file or directory

but can't find anything relevant.

Some interesting info here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...on/+bug/583525 and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/738526. Do you have xfs installed?

apt-cache policy xfs

I believe this is a bug. If you look in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, it should show you which driver is being loaded and it should say nvidia.

Other questions:
1. Have you fully updated the system?
2. What modules are loaded:

lsmod

3. Try suspending manually from the command line to see if it produces a different result:

sudo pm-suspend

4. Try disabling Compiz and then suspending. Any change?
