Hibernate broken in Gutsy

[madhusudansingh]

Binary package hint: kpowersave

Description :

OS used (in each case) :
--------------------------------

Kubuntu Linux

Hardware :
--------------

Dell OptiPlex 745, with ATI card :

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series] (Secondary)

RAM = 3GB.
Swap space = 4 GB.

++++++++++++++++++++++

With Feisty :
---------------

Used ati drivers :
(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
        compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.40.4
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0

Hibernate worked out of the box (right click on KPowerSave - Suspend to Disk). The system hibernated and woke up correctly (almost - USB thumb drives that were plugged in were not detected with a popup, but that is digressing here). The success rate was close to 100% (cannot recall a failed hibernate over 2-3 months of use).

+++++++++++++++++++++++

With Gutsy :
---------------

Used the included ati drivers (which are older than the version I used with Feisty - see above). Hibernation hangs.

Found this link :

http://www.mylittleubuntuguide.com/2007/10/21/gutsy-suspend-hibernate-workingat-a-cost/

Restored the ati driver to the newest stable version (same version as I had under Feisty). Hibernation hangs. No text on screen, just a monitor that is not getting a signal, with the USB keyboard / mouse all asleep and unable to wake up. Only solution - hard reboot by pressing down the power button. This is repeatable, 100% of the time.

Initially, could not find anything in the logs (/var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog) to indicate what is hanging up the hibernate. After restoration of the ati driver version to the newest one, I find that /var/log/suspend2disk.log is created :

Curious Fact :
-----------------

Contents of /etc/default/acpi-support :

------------
# Comment the next line to disable ACPI suspend to RAM
ACPI_SLEEP=true

# Comment the next line to disable suspend to disk
ACPI_HIBERNATE=true

# Change the following to "standby" to use ACPI S1 sleep, rather than S3.
# This will save less power, but may work on more machines
ACPI_SLEEP_MODE=mem

# Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded
# on resume. An example would be MODULES="em8300 yenta_socket"
#
# Note that network cards and USB controllers will automatically be unloaded
# unless they're listed in MODULES_WHITELIST
MODULES="usb_storage"

# Add modules to this list to leave them in the kernel over suspend/resume
MODULES_WHITELIST=""

# Should we save and restore state using the VESA BIOS Extensions?
SAVE_VBE_STATE=true

# The file that we use to save the vbestate

# RADEON_LIGHT=true

# Uncomment the next line to switch away from X and back again after resume.
# This is needed for some hardware, but should be unnecessary on most.

# your machine on hibernation
HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown

# afterwards
# DISABLE_DMA=true

# Uncomment this line to attempt to reset the drive on resume. This seems
# to be needed for some Sonys
# RESET_DRIVE=true

# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in
# the resume process.
STOP_SERVICES="mysql dbus guarddog"

# Restart Infra Red services on resume - off by default as it crashes some
# machines
RESTART_IRDA=false

# Switch to laptop-mode on battery power - off by default as it causes odd
# hangs on some machines
ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false

Hibernate mode is set to "shutdown".

Now, from the logs (after restore to the latest ati driver version) :

Oct 24 13:10:10 localhost kernel: [ 358.156080] PM: suspend-to-disk mode set to 'platform'

This is wierd.

Brief Summary :

With unchanged hardware and ati driver versions, hibernation worked under Feisty. Does not work under Gutsy. I was/am not using any desktop effects in either case - no compiz (its installed, but I do not use it).

[Marc Quinton (mquinton)]

I have same problem on gutsy, with an ATI RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200] card.
- with fglrx driver can't hibernate,
- with ATI driver, can't seen video.

[Jonathan Anderson (jonathan-anderson)]

This is likely a duplicate of Bug #121653. FGLRX doesn't support 2.6.23, which could really mean "doesn't support the new SLUB allocator" (which Ubuntu uses in 2.6.22).
