Suspend doesn't work proppely - 8.04, Darter Ultra (daru2)

[digitalbenji]

I have a Darter 1 (white darter). Out of the box, 32 bit Hardy suspend and hibernate worked fine. The last Kernel update (-17) nerfed both suspend and hibernate for me. It looks like someone submitted a bug on this, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...20/+bug/236272

For now, I will be using the -16 kernel. What version are you having your problem with? You can determine this by typing

uname -a

Thanks,

Actually, this post is not for the white Darter (daru1), it is for the newer Darter (DarU2). The source of the problems are radically different.

With the white Darter is probably just a configuration issue. We can do some testing on it.

Hi Tom,

Where are we standing in the development of the fix ?

I have tried everything at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/226279 and I have had no luck with this problem. I have also installed the 2.6.24-19-image package from hardy-proposed. That also did not work.

The inability to suspend is very frustrating and, frankly, compromises the usability of the notebook somewhat. I'd be very interested to know the status on this problem too.

I was informed at one point that a notebook had been sent to a kernel developer (which is a really good idea). Did anything come of that?

It is still with the developer. They're continuing to work on it. We're not giving up on it.

Hmmm. A few days ago I tried suspend on my Daru1 and lo and behold, suspend started to work, where it hadn't after the Hardy upgrade. I can even get my wifi back after coming out or suspend. Maybe it was one of the system updates, or maybe it's just magic. (Also, the dimming problem seems to have solved itself.)

[thomasaaron]

Right. But this thread pertains to the DarU2. It is a completely different set of issues.

Is there any progress made on this issue I would like to upgrade to 8.04 but need my suspend to work.

If needed i'm happy to do some testing in this matter.

Hi there! I'm running a gazelle performance gazp3. I also haven't been able to suspend/hibernate since I upgraded to Hardy 8.04. I was able to suspend/hibernate in gutsy 7.10.
When I hibernate via the keyboard Fn->F1 key combination the screen blanks, the disc light blinks and then the system goes completely off as desired. When I try to reactivate it, the screen never displays anything, the fan comes on and runs until I hold down the power button.

My system info is my sig.
