[nvidia-new] doesn't wakeup the screen after suspend

[Bernard Drapeau]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-11-generic

The package Linux-image 2.6.24-11-generic doesn't work on resume after suspend.

The system goes on standby with suspend.
The machine displays a blank screen after resume.
There is disk activity but the screen stays out of signal.

I need to reboot the system.

My box is an Asus P5B (chipset 965) with a Core2 Duo E6400 and 2 GB of RAM.
The graphics card is an Asus GS7600 with 256 MB and a passive radiator. It has 2 display connectors.

Linux silex 2.6.24-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Feb 29 22:08:31 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Hibernate doesn't work in the kernel.

I called Suspend and Hibernarte from Gnome Display Manager.

Hi,

Could you please confirm that you use the "nvidia"
driver for your video card?

Thanks,

James

[Bernard Drapeau (bernard-drapeau)]

I run
nvidia-glx-new 169.12-2.6.24.10-11.29 (hardy)

[Matthew Tighe (tighem)]

I have the same issue with nvidia-glx-new. Screen doesn't wake up from suspend. Pretty sure it's an nvidia problem as lots of users complain about it in their forums.

[exactt (giesbert)]

i had some success doing step 2 of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend

then i followed this guys instructions: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/34043/comments/33

this included getting the weird results he got:
"If it doesn't work, here is the weird part: keep the settings above and run glxgears on a xterm for about 15 seconds, before trying to hibernate[suspend]. I guess this may initialize some junk in the nvidia module. After doing this, my system powers off after I click on hibernate[suspend]."

I am on Hardy x86 Alpha 5 + latest updates

[aldebx (aldebx)]

I can confirm this misbehavior using nvidia driver on a nVidia 8400M card.
Latest kernel for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.

Unfortunately mentioned workarounds did not work for me.

[aldebx (aldebx)]

updated pm-utils 0.99.2-3ubuntu2 set a workaround for this problem.

Now I can suspend and resume correctly again.

[Bernard Drapeau (bernard-drapeau)]

I applied the solution proposed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend.

It doesn't work on my box.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 alpha 5.
Linux-image 2.6.24-14
pm-utils 0.99.2-3ubuntu8

[Bernard Drapeau (bernard-drapeau)]

I tried
  nvidia-glx-new
and
  xserver-xorg-video-nv

I'm currently running
  xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.8-1ubuntu1
and it doesn't work.

[exactt (giesbert)]

just to give you another option: check out the nouveau driver from: https://launchpad.net/~raof/+archive

[Bernard Drapeau (bernard-drapeau)]

I tried the nouveau driver... and it doesn't work.

[malte (dmz17)]

I can confirm this. Only happens when the restricted NVIDIA driver is enabled/in use.
Thinkpad T61p.

[Matthew Tighe (tighem)]

Suspend started working for me right before Hardy's release. Hibernate still does not, but suspend does (sometimes with a white screen on resume, but it functions after entering the password).

[vmagnin (vincent-magnin)]

I have a similar problem using :
- Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard (nForce 2 chipset)
- Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 (AGP)
- proprietary nvidia-glx-new 169.12 (or nvidia-glx) driver
- Ubuntu 8.04 (Linux version 2.6.24.16.18-generic)

When I try to resume from hibernation or suspend, I obtain a black screen. Impossible to obtain a console.
I had the same problem with Ubuntu 7.10 (see Bug #71839 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17/+bug/71839
and probably with previous versions of Ubuntu...

No problem with the free driver, but I do not know how to rotate my screen in portrait mode.

[Mo (mail-smike)]

I can confirm Matthew Tighe's ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/198184/comments/13 ) experience with Hardy on my Macbook pro (intel) using the "nvidia" module: After wakeup from suspend the screen is white but the cursor is there. "blindly" entering the password gets me back to the Desktop.

[vmagnin (vincent-magnin)]

I still have the same problem with Ubuntu 8.10, with the nvidia-glx-173 driver.

[bugbot (bugbot)]

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

[vmagnin (vincent-magnin)]

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.04 and nvidia-current driver it now works for me with a Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT (and a rotated screen), for both suspend to ram and suspend to disk. Thank you.

[Alexey (grunichev)]

I have the same problem after upgrade to 11.04 with my laptop.
I'm not sure is it related with video card or not, sysinfo shows me: Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller

I'm on Kubuntu12.10 amd64 using a Thinkpad T61p with the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
I am willing to help debugging this, I am a developer myself so I can follow complex instructions.

Suspend works very well, but hibernation does not.

What does work is writing the hibernation file to disk and turning the device off.
What does NOT work is resuming from the hibernation file.

The kernel will print the screen which shows the progress of loading the hibernation data.
After it has finished, a blank screen will appear.

I tried using pm-hibernate from a text-mode terminal, i.e. I switched from the X server to the terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1.
After resuming from hibernation, I tried to switch back to the terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1 which did not work at first.
 I randomly pressed all keys on the keyboard and then tried to switch back to the terminal again with CTRL+ALT+F1 which DID work.
What showed was that the pm-hibernate program had NOT exited yet, i.e. there was no terminal prompt after it.

Then I was able to switch to the other terminals, however they did hang after I typed the username and tried to enter the password.

Further Google investigation showed that after 2 minutes of waiting for the system to resume from hibernation, a part of the kernel will crash due to a timeout and the system WILL be useable.
