Slow suspend on various Toshiba laptops

[Peter Schwenke]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22

Suspend to RAM takes around 5 minutes on various Toshiba laptop models. This problem has been around since at least Dapper.

Models included in this patch are Tecra M5, Tecra M7, Portege M500, Satellite U200 and Satellite U205.

Tejun Heo submitted a fix at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7780

I have taken the fix and applied it to the Gutsy kernel. The patch looks like it would apply cleanly. However, I manually applied it. I walked through the code since this is 2.6.22 and he Tejun patched 2.6.23. I tested on my Portege M500. It works fine.

I previously had backported the patch to the Feisty kernel. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/90771
 As a consequence of that bug I have also added the U200 (not included in Tejun's original patch)

I have since noticed he subsequently put in a patch for the Tecra M7
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=5c08ea019198230a62c601ddf97d0319ae246ad8

I have also included the M7 in this patch. I have also included the M7 in this
patch.

See I suspect this bug also affects the M4 and M6.

    ata_piix: fix suspend/resume for some TOSHIBA laptops

    ACPI implementations in several TOSHIBA laptops are weird and burn cpu
    cycles for tens of seconds while trying to suspend if the PCI device
    for the ATA controller is disabled when the ACPI suspend is called.

    This patch uses DMI to match those machines and bypass device disable
    on those machines during suspend. As the device needs to be put into
    enabled state on resume without affecting PCI enable count, matching
    resume callback uses __pci_reenable_device().

    This bug is reported in bugzilla bug 7780.

Here is the patch to fix this bug.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

For people who would like to test this without building the kernel I have made the packages available at http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

It appears that the case varies for the Product Name returned by dmidecode
for different models of the U200. This is for the case "Satellite U200".
My previous patch has "SATELLITE U200".

In the version of this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/90771
2 dmidecodes have been submitted which conform this.

I applied the patch referred to in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7780#c106 and this has been verified as working in the Feisty port of the patch for this bug (again https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/90771)

[Angus Turnbull (angus-twinhelix)]

I have tried the Gutsy beta LiveCD (straight off CD, no installation) with my Toshiba Tecra M3 and the slow Suspend-to-RAM issue is still present. I noticed from the kernel.org thread:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7780

that the M3 was problematic there. The behaviour I get is a slow (5-10 minutes) suspend, and when resuming, the video / X.org fails to initialise properly (I can get a text console on an external monitor plugged into the VGA port, and interact with the system that way, but nothing via the inbuilt LCD panel).

For what it's worth here's the last couple of lines visible in the system log on resume, hand-copied-down:

[ 694.528000] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad as /class/input/input10
[ 704.792000] VFS: busy inodes on changes media

and I've attached the output of plain "lspci" to this thread. If there's anything else you want me to do or try, please post, as I'd love to have suspend working on this laptop with Gutsy (kind of a dealbreaker for a potential Linux laptop switch!)

[Angus Turnbull (angus-twinhelix)]

In addendum to above: I tried again and it took 5 minutes to suspend, then resumed OK to X.org with a crash notification for "vbetool" on wakeup. Here's the output of DMIDECODE (attached).

It seems that the kernel patch is looking for "Tecra M3" whereas the laptop is reporting "TECRA M3" (case sensitivity error) if you look at the DMI information. This should be a very simple fix to roll into the ATA driver -- if someone could please add this model onto the list of known buggy Toshiba laptops for Gutsy it would be much appreciated.

[Angus Turnbull (angus-twinhelix)]

Please add suspend fix support for Tecra M3 to this patch for Gutsy

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

I can confirm that the latest kernel release does suspend properly on the Portege M500.

However, I checked out the changes made to the code after gusnz's comment about the M3.
The patches had been refactored and some models were missed. These are the M3, M7 and variation on the U200. The variation on the U200 should go upstream.

The original patch had some OEM string checking because *some* M3 seem to not have a Product Name in the dmidecode output (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=11993&action=edit).

That has been omitted in the patches applied to the Gutsy kernel. I have not added that
back in in this patch.

However, apparently there is a patch awaiting which adds the Tecra M3 to the
piix_broken_suspend_dmi_table table, as well. This patch includes that.

I have built the packages and am waiting confirmation from guznz for the M3.

Packages are available for testing at http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

[Angus Turnbull (angus-twinhelix)]

The kernel.org 2.6.23 tree has now been updated with the Tecra M3 identification fix, so this patch looks good to go :).

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

If any Kernel Team / ACPI Team members are reading, it would be fantastic if Gutsy could launch with Peter's improved SATA backport bugfix from earlier in this thread!

[loffe (olof-fryksen)]

Hi, my Toshiba laptop also suffer from this bug.

I tried the patched kernel, but it did not work for me.

I suspect that this is because I have a different result on "Product Name" in dmidecode than what's in the patch, mine's "SATELLITE PRO U200".

I've attached my dmidecode for reference.

[Philip Radin (pradin)]

Gusnz, fantastic job. My only problem is that I haven't patch a kernel since my slackware days. What is the process to patch the Ubuntu kernel in gutsy?

[Philip Radin (pradin)]

Btw, does anyone with a Tecra M3 Fan notice it gets really loud during CPU intensive applications?

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Attached is a patch for the "SATELLITE PRO U200". Packages for kernel 2.6.22-14 available to test at
http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

This patch should go upstream.

[loffe (olof-fryksen)]

Hi,

Peter's latest packages confirmed as working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro U200.

[Krzysztof Wyszyński (goomior)]

It seems that I have the same problem. At the moment im using Ubuntu Gutsy with all updates installed and Suspend To RAM takes about 5 minutes. Resume seems to work fine. My laptop is Toshiba Tecra A8. Could you please release a patch for this model too?

[Krzysztof Wyszyński (goomior)]

And by the way. After resume, Bluetooth doesn't work. Need to run:
# /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
or:
# toshset -bluetooth off
# toshset -bluetooth on

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Krzysztof,

Can you please post post the output of 'sudo dmidecode' and I'll prepare a patch.

The bluetooth is unrelated and is best reported separately. You could add scripts to /etc/acpi/suspend.d and /etc/acpi/resume.d to get around that.

[Krzysztof Wyszyński (goomior)]

Thanks for reply. Full 'sudo dmidecode' output has been attached.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

 Krzysztof,

Done for Tecra A8. Please try packages at http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

Note, that the Pro U200 patch has a typo from when I must have been too hasty on my git-commit and was subsequently fixed before loffe's testing. This patch contains that fix, as well.

[Krzysztof Wyszyński (goomior)]

Thank you very much Peter. Works like a charm. I think that your patches should be included in the nearest official Ubuntu kernel update. Great work.

[Ross Patterson (rossp)]

I'm still having this problem under gutsy on a Toshiba Satellite U205-S5067. I've tested with the gutsy 2.6.22 kernel, the kernel from http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/, and with 2.6.24-rc2 from kernel.org and the gutsy 2.6.22 config. No dice on any of them. Any suggestions?

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Ross, can you please attach the output of 'sudo dmidecode'.

[Ross Patterson (rossp)]

Here 'tis. Thanks.

[Ross Patterson (rossp)]

Is it the caps that's causing the problem? I just got this thing back from repairs and I upgraded the BIOS. I wonder if either one of those changed the capitalization. I'm checking if that's it now.

[Ross Patterson (rossp)]

It is the capitalization of the dmi matching. See my comment in 7780.

[Angus Turnbull (angus-twinhelix)]

Thanks Philip! Yes, the fan is very loud in this model under both Windows and Linux :). Also, sorry, I forgot to re-check this bug recently.

For you and/or anyone not wanting to recompile the entire kernel to get proper suspend support, I've discovered a "cheating fix". Warning: make appropriate backups and use at your own risk! At a console under Gutsy 7.10 initial release without any kernel updates:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/ata
sudo mv ata_piix.ko ata_piix.ko.bak
cat ata_piix.ko.bak | sed 's/TECRA M5/TECRA M3/' | sudo tee ata_piix.ko > /dev/null
sudo update-initramfs -u

This will backup the ata_piix.ko kernel module, do a text search/replace on the backup changing "TECRA M5" (which is already in Gutsy's workarounds list) to "TECRA M3" (which isn't), write to a new file and update the computer's initrd. It's also a wise move to make a copy of "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" and keep it handy, if this fails for some reason you will need to boot from the LiveCD and restore it into place. Type the lines individually and if you get any errors, stop right there.

Also: WARNING: IMPORTANT: READ THIS: You should ensure that your replacement model number is the SAME LENGTH STRING. That is, exactly eight characters including a space, no more, no less. It should work for "TECRA M3" and possibly other models in the "TECRA Mn" / "TECRA An" series too, but DO NOT replace with "Satellite" etc.!

Hope this helps :).

[Krzysztof Wyszyński (goomior)]

It really works :) I did exact copy-paste of gusnz's commands replacing "TECRA M5" with "TECRA A8". Simple and fast method that doesn't require kernel update. Thank you gusnz.

[Tom Jaeger (thjaeger)]

The Toshiba Satellite R25 seems to be affected as well (see attachment). I couldn't get suspend to work properly by patching the driver binary, though.

[Tom Jaeger (thjaeger)]

Thanks. The latest packages on http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/ fix the issue for the R25.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Here is the patch for the Satellite U205 and Satellite R25. There are now 4 patches to apply.

[Murat Gunes (mgunes)]

I have a Tecra M4, and it's affected too. dmidecode output is attached.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

At this point, I have submitted a patch for the laptops we have found here to upstream.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.24-rc4

That means that they should find their way into Hardy automatically. (since 2.6.24 is being used).

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Murat,

Can you please try the latest packages from http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/ on your Tecra M4.

[Murat Gunes (mgunes)]

With the patched kernel, suspend works immediately.

Here's my "lspci --vv | grep SATA" output:

00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 80 [Master])

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Peter, thank you so much for submitting the patch upstream. It's a big help to the kernel team. The Hardy Heron kernel (2.6.24-1.1) was uploaded for testing a few days ago: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux . It looks like it was synced with upstream 2.6.24-rc3. I assume within the next few Ubuntu kernel uploads your patches should be merged automatically and ready for testing/use. Thanks!

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

No worries, Leann.

Here is the patch for M4. I'll send a patch upstream for it, as well.

[Murat Gunes (mgunes)]

I'll appreciate that, Peter. I've tested suspend under different conditions and with different video drivers, and it works flawlessly. I hope the patch ends up in the final release.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Murat,
it's on its way

[MichaelTayrov (mtayrov)]

Thank you very much, Peter. Your patches work flawlessly on my Toshiba U200-181. But Updates Manager now always offers me to update my kernel and headers from version 2.6.22-14.46 to the same 2.6.22-14.46. Does anybody know how to get rid of this annoying behavior?

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Phillip, please cherry pick the the Tecra M3 additions to the dmi table, for next upload. Thanks

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

This was already fixed upstream in linux 2.6.24, so good to go there.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Ben & Phillip, you'll find that all of these additions have been fixed in 2..6.24. I ensured that the laptops handled in the dmi_table in Gutsy and 2.6.24 match.

I have Toshiba U200-181 and I see yellow "Linu" while resuming (from

But it resumes just fine with patched kernel (gutsy, 2.6.22).

Another Model of an Tecra A8

PTA83E-0D003RGR, for this one the current released patches doesn't work. Can you release another patch?
Full dmidecode is attatched. Thank you :-).

[rossdotw (ross-inertia)]

I have a Tecra M3. When the machine is undocked your patches work flawlessly, however if the machine is sitting on the docking station it behaves in exactly the same way as the unpatched kernel. The screen blanks, the docking station power indicator switches off which seems to suggest something has happened but the power light stays on on the laptop and the fan switches to full blast. I have left it like this for 10-15mins many times but it never seems to enter suspend. Opening the lid switches the screen on, but it is blank and does not respond to anything and requires the power to be turned off in order to use the machine again.

What do I need to provide you with in order to track this down?

[Michael Stahlman (michael-stahlman)]

I tried the .deb packages from the link above for the patches, but I could not get it to work with my laptop. I have a Toshiba Satellite R20. As far as I know, the R20 is the exact same as the R25, except the R20 is the customized version from Toshiba. Could this be added to the list of patches and could anyone direct me to where I can get instructions to patch it myself? I attached my dmidecode output. Thanks.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

weed0r,

Unless you have a TECRA M5, Satellite U200, Satellite U205, Portege M500 with exactly one of those strings in Product Name in your dmidecode output you'll need to use the packages from

http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/

or use the patches attached to this bug report and rebuild the kernel yourself. The models listed above are the only ones which have been included in Gutsy. The other models have been included upstream and should come through in Hardy.

I've looked at using the Launchpad PPAs (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas) to make this easier but haven't worked out the package pinning properly.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Michael,

I've done a patch for the R20. The packages are at http://203.143.225.228/gutsy/.

[Michael Stahlman (michael-stahlman)]

Well, it doesn't seem to work for me. It did change the equation,
though. It now does not go black, but rather locks the workstation
(requiring a password) and when I unlock, it says my computer failed to
suspend.

I have been getting continually:
[ 213.164000] APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
[ 213.164000] APIC error on CPU1: 40(40)
in dmesg, but I am not certain it is related.

And, this is the dmesg surrounding when I try suspend:
[ 122.792000] input: Power Button (FF) as /class/input/input8
[ 122.792000] ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]

[ 122.812000] input: Power Button (CM) as /class/input/input10
[ 122.812000] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB]

If there is another diagnostic command I can run, I can try that. Thanks
for your help. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the Debian PPA
system. I will keep playing with this and see what I can find.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Michael,
That's actually good news as far as #139045 goes - you're passed the 5 minute wait hurdle because of the SATA controller. The problem now is something else. It is probably a matter of configuring /etc/default/acpi-support.
I'll send you mine offline, since we shouldn't really use the bug system as a support forum and report back here if
we get it going.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

For the R20 note that there is a suspend/hibernate bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/163151

I won't put a command there about the suspend part until we confirm suspend works.

[Michael Stahlman (michael-stahlman)]

I am helping someone else with their Toshiba suspend. It is a P205D. It seems to be doing the same slow 5min suspend problem. I attached the dmidecode output. Hopefully, we can get several of these in Hardy and hopefully Toshiba might change sometime.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Michael,
I've rebuilt the packages for the P205D. Can you please get the user to provide the output of "lspci -vv" and attach it here. I had a quick look and that machine may have a different chipset.

NB: My Internet connection is flaky today.

[Matt Piermarini (mattpiermarini)]

I have a TECRA M6 which experiences the same mentioned suspend/resume failure. I've added the following to a 2.6.23.12 custom kernel I'm using:

                {
                        .ident = "TECRA M6",
                        .matches = {
                                DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "TOSHIBA"),
                                DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "TECRA M6"),
                        },
                },

and suspend/resume actually works now. Here is the relevant portion of dmidecode for this laptop:

Michael,

Did it with for the P205?

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Sorry for the fat fingers. Did it work for the P205D?

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Due to the number of these machines dropping up and after talking to upstream I am looking into a better way of handling this.

The output which seems most useful is from "lspci -nvv".
Can everyone please submit that information as an attachment - indicating which model it is from.

If you have a Toshiba laptop which does not exhibit this behaviour, I would like to also have that output. For documentation purposes and risking clutter it would be better to post that here rather than directly. But please put the string "NO PROBLEM" in the Description when adding the attachment.

[eymey (eymert)]

WOW!. I always thought Suspend to RAM just didn't work... point. After waiting for 5 minutes, I noticed the laptop had indeed gone to suspend. Even better: After resuming, it does display an error in the Gnome notification area, but everything comes backup OK, including Wireless, Compiz, etc.

[Mjumbe Wawatu Ukweli (mjumbewu)]

sorry, i should make that attachment more clear.
thanks for getting this fixed, btw. big quality-of-life improvement :)

[Mjumbe Wawatu Ukweli (mjumbewu)]

and, of course, that was the wrong file. sorry again.

FYI, my Toshiba Tecra M6 experiences the same behavior (slow stand by, i.e. suspend to ram) on Hardy, and now my hibernate (suspend to disk) appears to do the same as stand by (fan starts running on high and takes around 5 minutes to power down). This was not the case with Gutsy.

[m4cph1sto (dlreid)]

I have a Tecra M4 with Ubuntu 8.04 and I got suspend to work by doing, as mentioned above:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/ata
sudo mv ata_piix.ko ata_piix.ko.bak
cat ata_piix.ko.bak | sed 's/TECRA M5/TECRA M3/' | sudo tee ata_piix.ko > /dev/null
sudo update-initramfs -u

It works. However, resume only sometimes works. 50% of the time upon resume I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I'm new to Linux and could use help resolving this issue. I don't see that a kernel patch for the M4 for Hardy is available yet. I'll supply any info you need, just tell me what to do.

[Mjumbe Wawatu Ukweli (mjumbewu)]

As of kernel 2.6.24-19, suspend still has the same behavior on the Tecra M6 (have the other models been incorporated into the kernel yet?). However, the workaround does work:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/ata
sudo mv ata_piix.ko ata_piix.ko.bak
cat ata_piix.ko.bak | sed 's/TECRA M5/TECRA M6/' | sudo tee ata_piix.ko > /dev/null
sudo update-initramfs -u

Can't get suspend or hibernate working on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120. Here are the usually asked for files.

[popk1d (popk1d)]

I have this problem also, on a custom spec'd Toshiba Satellite U200 on 8.04. Please let me know what I should do - this thread gives the impression this issue is fixed, but I have the 'classic' 8 minute wait for hibernate.

[Sameer Morar (smorar)]

I can confirm that this problem exists for me using the Intrepid beta, with the following kernel: 2.6.27-6-generic

My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra M4, and

I think that part of the problem in this case is that my DMI table is incomplete, and doesn't contain accurate information, as shown by the attached dmidecode output. Is there perhaps not a better method determining which Toshiba laptops are affected?

[popk1d (popk1d)]

Forgive me if I'm posting this info to the wrong place, but this is the closest match I can find to my problem. I notice people have posted here with no response, so I'd be very grateful for a pointer elsewhere if I am mistaken.

My Toshiba Satellite U200 has this issue, exactly as described in the bug description. I am on kernel 2.6.24.21 on Hardy.

Output from dmidecode on my system seems to have really unhelpful info, so the patch isn't ID'ing my system - I think this is the relevant bit:
"
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 27 bytes
System Information
 Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
 Product Name: Portable PC
 Version: Version 1.0
 Serial Number: 0000000000
 UUID: Not Present
 Wake-up Type: Other
 SKU Number: 0000000000
 Family: 0000000000
"
- I believe the patch is looking for "Satellite U200" or similar in the "Product Name" field.

I've attached my dmidecode & lspci -nvv outputs: I believe what I need is a mod to the take6 patch. If this is something I should be doing myself, could someone point me in the direction of a newbie guide on patching and recompiling my kernel for something like this. I'd be so grateful for some help!

You're right.
The interesting part of your output of dmidecode is stange. Other parts
of your dmidecode output looks like my output. Here is my output
(suspend is ok).

Wooo! I can confirm that the suspend works in Ubuntu 8.10 for my Toshiba Satellite R20 Tablet! It suspends in a reasonable time, resumes, and the wifi continues to work. Thank you to all who worked on this issue.

[Mjumbe Wawatu Ukweli (mjumbewu)]

Also works on the Tecra M6 in Intrepid. Thanks so much!

[sjs889 (sjarrettsprague)]

Still slow at getting to suspend and hibernate state on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-237 using ubuntu 8.10.

[Sameer Morar (smorar)]

I have edited my DMI table using a tool called DMICFG.EXE (easily found via google)

Now my DMI table reflects the correct model info, and suspend works within a reasonable time.

My previous DMI info was:
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes
System Information
 Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
 Product Name: 000000
 Version: 000000
 Serial Number: 000000
 UUID: 76BFAC00-8E55-1810-8040-C70685570381
 Wake-up Type: Power Switch

I managed to edit it to show (as per it's labelling / branding):
Handle 0x0001, DMI type 1, 25 bytes
System Information
        Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
        Product Name: TECRA M4
        Version: PTM40E-1C8038G3
        Serial Number: Y5663331G
        UUID: 76BFAC00-8E55-1810-8040-C70685570381
        Wake-up Type: Power Switch

I recall that my laptop has had it's motherboard replaced, so this is probably how this information was lost.

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life -
http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the
linux-source-2.6.22 kernel task.

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

Since it seems that this bug is still affecting some users I reopen it, adding that It would be helpful if you could test the new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue remains -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904overview. If the issue still exists with the Jaunty
release, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux (Ubuntu)"
task from "Incomplete" to "New". Also please be sure to run the command below
which will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report. Thanks in advance.

[This is an automated message. Apologies if it has reached you inappropriately.]

This bug was flagged as having a patch attached. The Ubuntu Kernel Team's preferred policy is for all patches to be submitted and accepted into the upstream kernel before agreeing to merge them into the Ubuntu kernel. The goal for the Ubuntu kernel is to have little to no divergence from the upstream linux kernel source.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelPatches has been written to document the suggested policy and procedures for helping get a patch merged upstream and subsequently into the Ubuntu kernel. Please take the time to review that wiki if this patch should be considered for inclusion into the upstream and Ubuntu kernel. Let us know if you have any questions or need any help via the Ubuntu Kernel Team mailing list. Thanks in advance.

[Peter Schwenke (bluetoad)]

Patches for laptops mentioned here were submitted upstream a long time ago and have trickled back down to Ubuntu - they _should_ be in Hardy. I didn't worry about the couple of cases had strange Product Names in their DMI table. I did try to look for a generic solution but ended up deciding the DMI check in the kernel was the best. No more new models were getting reported. So you can close this bug.

[David Stansby (dstansby-deactivatedaccount)]

Closed this bug as per Peter Schwenke's recomendation.

[Peter Vandendriessche (peter-vandendriessche)]

So where can I download the latest fix (for Kubuntu 9.10)?

I hereby mention that this "bug" also appears on the Toshiba Portege R600.

[Peter Vandendriessche (peter-vandendriessche)]

(addendum: suspend takes 2 minutes and 13 seconds on average, so it's rather a 2-minute time-out than a 5-minute time-out as described in some earlier post)

[Peter Vandendriessche (peter-vandendriessche)]

Is it better to re-post this as a new bug or should I just wait longer?

[Id2ndR (id2ndr)]

As this bug is marked as fixed released (and it has really been for some laptop), you should open a new bug. You may explain that it's linked to this bug in the description.
