Ubuntu 9.04 does not wake up from suspend (sleep) mode.

[wittmarf]

Hello,

i had no problems with suspend-to-ram/wake-up with 8.10. It worked fine and I was happy.

Now with the new 9.04, after going to suspend mode (power LED is blinking), when I push the power button to wake up the system, I only see a black screen with a blinking cursor.

When I hit Alt-F2 I see a console login, but the screen does not react to keyboard input. All I can do is a reset.

My system is 9.04/64-bit on X58-board with Core i7 CPU and Nvidia gtx275 graphics card. As I said I had no problems with 8.10!

Any help appreciated!

Similar problem - I just installed 9.04 a couple days ago, and accidentally hit the sleep button. Now the computer will not boot - the power LEDS light up, but I am unable to get into BIOS, and unable to get the computer to respond - the monitor remains in power-save mode, and there is no sound from the monitors.

I am having the same issues with Jaunty. Suspend drops to a single cursor blink.

Maybe it has something to do with Video Card.

I am using the Restricted Nvidia 180.00 Drivers

I've had problems with waking up from suspend all the life of this machine, but last time I managed to find a piece of info to try and find out what was the cause. I've synthesized the procedure below:

remove /etc/init.d/[checkroot.sh | checkfs.sh]
echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace
echo mem > /sys/power/state -> suspend
[supposedly failed attempt -> hard reboot with power button]
-> date will be screwed, as well as filesystem checks
save dmesg somewhere
restore /etc/init.d/[checkroot.sh | checkfs.sh]

In the dmesg file saved before, look for:
[ 1.500776] Magic number: 4:256:725
[ 1.500851] pci 0000:01:00.0: hash matches

compare trailing numbers with lspci output to know which device was
culprit (last to be attempted to suspend or resume)

In this case, the fault was due to...

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 140M (rev a1)

Yeah, last time it was the nvidia driver alright. In 8.10 I had frozen nvidia do 173 because of other problems, and a few days before 9.04 came out, the update manager offered me 180 again and I decided to give it a try. Previous problems seemed to be gone, but the machine wouldn't wake up anymore (blank screen with flashing cursor only, no disk activity).

Now I'm 2--3 days on 9.04 and already noticed the waking up problem (100% of the attempts). I'll either try newer versions (185) or get back to good old 173.

If you really want to be sure about the cause, do the procedure above. The procedure I found through googling didn't mention about removing the checkfs init script, which is essential. Ignore eventual msgs about filesystem problems; what is vital is to reboot and collect the dmesg info in a few minutes time (<5min) after the suspend event, or else the clock digits in the RTC will increase the counting and overwrite the needed info.

I have the same problem on a HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop - worked fine with 8.04 and 8.10, but an update in acpi some time in january caused the problem - hoped it solved after installing 9.04, but the problem persists

Same problem here - 8.10 would sleep/wake fine. Installed 9.04 a couple of weeks ago, and now will sleep OK, and when I hit the power button to wake up, I hear fans etc kick into action but nothing else happens. I have to hold power button in for 5 secs to power off, then restart.

Any ideas/help appreciated.

Same problem here. Blank screen after I wake it up. Fresh install Ubuntu 9.04 (amd x64). I have a toshiba laptop with an ATI HD3650 if that matters. Big fan of the sleep feature I need this XD

[ibokozan]

I'm having the same problem with 9.04 on an HP with a 4800 Athlon X2 processor and ATI graphics. I left it go to sleep while out on an appointment today. I came back and the computer was dead. No blinkiing power light or anything. It had completely powered off and was locked. Hitting the power button to boot it did nothing. The only way to get it to start again was to totally disconnect the power for about 30 seconds, and then do a complete new boot. My son is running 9.04 on his laptop. It was strange, but he had the identical thing happen to his today. He had to unplug it plus remove the battery to be able to restart it.

I have a similar problem with my recently bought and installed generic laptop.

Close the lid, and if i leave it closed for to long, WHAM, won't reactivate, doesn't matter if I set the Power Savings to blank screen, hibernate or suspend, same result every time.

If I open it fast, it doesn't. This is unfortunately a rather critical issue, as it lowers battery time quite a bit, having to set the monitor permanently on.
