[Dell Inspiron 1464] Failed to resume from suspend in Raring

[Deepak]

Today I updated some packages but not linux kernel. I put my laptop to sleep by pressing power button. It failed to resume when I pressed power button again. This is not a new problem, I have been facing this problem for quite some time.

I found another bug closely related but in 12.04 LTS
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990129

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Deepak, tould you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the mainline kernels archive directory daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

I tested v3.11-rc2-saucy from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11-rc2-saucy/

It happens more frequently in latest kernel, almost 100%.
It shows 1inch X 1inch colored grid on screen at random location when trying to resume.

I think CPU resumes but it freezes after that, because LED goes from blinking state to fully on.

Also some of the modules failed when installing latest kernel.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Deepak, thank you for testing the newest mainline kernel. Did this problem not occur in a release prior to Raring?

[Deepak (deepakiitr2015)]

As this doesn't occur all the time, I am not sure whether it was present in previous releases or not. I can't remember any crash due to sleep/resume in 12.10. But brightness change crash (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1007765) started with 12.04.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Deepak, thank you for your comments. Remaining focused on suspend/release here in this report, the next step would be to bisect this problem from Quantal to Raring, in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?
