Suspend Issues on a gazv3?

[andyanderso]

First of all thanks to all the folks at System76. You guys are great.

Now to my question. I just recently (in the last few months became interested in using the suspend function on my Gazelle Value laptop. The computer will go to sleep just fine and seems like it wakes up but the screen never comes back on. I tried the brightness keys and I tried changing my acpi-support file (I saw this might work in another post) and nothing seems to work so far. Has anyone got any ideas? I pasted a copy of my acpi-support file into the bottom of this post. Here is the info on my kernal:

andy@hermes:~$ uname -a
Linux hermes 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 19:28:38 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My system76 driver is version 2.2.1
I have a gazv3 running Ubuntu Hardy Heron 64bit ....

any help?

Just tried suspend on a GazV3 with a fresh install of 64-bit hardy and it worked like a charm out of the box. Here is the acpi-support file it has.

I made my acpi-support file look just like the one below and still my system will not wake back up.

I am also running a fresh install of the 64 bit hardy...

any other thoughts?

I tried looking for your name in our database so that I can examine your configuration, but I don't see you in there (or at least what I'm guessing your name is by virtue of your ubuntu handle.

DON'T post your name or order# here. But either post more detail about your configuration here (CPU, RAM, in particular). Or email me with your name or order number.

One other thing to try: Go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and turn off your desktop effects to see if it will suspend and resume.

Thanks for the help. I tried turning off my desktop effects but to no avail. Still will not resume from suspend. I sent you a private message through the forum with my name and order #.

Hi Andy.
I have a very similar problem, and system (Gazelle Performance 3, some system details listed in my signature). I was wandering if the thread you mentioned that had the suggestions about altering acpi-support was this one:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...upport+suspend

or if there's another more relevant one?

Have you found an acpi-support configuration that allows any version of suspend?

[andyanderso]

I tried as many combinations of the settings mentioned in that post as I could and never got my suspend to work.

Have you found anything that works?

Hi Andy. I've changed to a 64-bit kernel by install from liveboot CD and changed some other things. I am able to hibernate by running the hibernate.sh script as sudo. Unfortunately I do not have that system available and will not until July 17. When I _do_ get it back I will update this info.

I also have a Gazelle V3 that I have been unable to suspend in Hardy. It hasn't been much of a concern to me, as I encrypt my hard drive and hibernate to my encrypted swap (suspending would basically leave my hard-drive unlocked all the time), but I would like to see a solution to suspend in case I'm just carrying my laptop from one room to another or something.

OK, could you guys post the output of...

swapon -a

and

cat /etc/fstab
