Sleep not present in Dapper 6.06

[Dani]

 Hi,

 I have bought a Sony Vaio SZ1XP and installed Ubuntu Dapper 6.06, but the Sleep option does not seems to appear anywhere. I tried the "Suspend " and "Hibernate" but they do not work properly.

Here is some information about kernel and packets:

Linux gordy 2.6.15-22-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 7 16:37:57 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

  acpi-support 0.82

 Thanks for your help,

   Dani.

Sleep does not appear if your machine is known to break during sleeping. Could you please post the outpout of "pmi capabilities"? Thanks.

 Hi,

Many thanks for your reply. Here is the information requested:

dani@gordy:~$ pmi capabilities
hibernate

However, my friend bought the same machine I have and installed the same version of Ubuntu and works for him.

 Thanks,

  Daniel.

Suspend does not work as well on my Vaio VGN-S560P. Can you post the BIOS version of your and your friends LAPTOP?

[Dani (dani-ebi)]

Hi,

BIOS version: R0063N0
EB BIOS version: RK063N0
Video BIOS version: N0ICG_12

My friend will send you his BIOS version, but in our laptop, Vaio
VGN-SZ1XP/C Suspend seems to work fine.

 Cheers,

  Daniel.

BIOS version: R0063N0
EC BIOS version: RK063N0

identical BIOS. Suspend-to-ram is almost perfect:

Suspend to RAM (sleep) works if using the Intel (Stamina) chip. Simply choose suspend on gnome-power-manager (i.e., the battery in the top panel) or configure it with the "lid close".

To wake up, just press any key.

(1) Sometimes the wireless won't hook up again after wake up. Apparently this is due to the device losing the essid record. So if stuck, try:

sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "youressid"

sudo dhclient eth1

(change eth1 for the name of your device)

(2) Every once in a while, if you let the laptop to sleep for a long time, for example during the night (notice the irony?, sleep... during the night... :)), it won't wake up properly: black screen, unresponsible keyboard, even Alt-SysRq-RSEIUB won't restart the screen properly.

And sometimes the trick is to plug/unplug the power source. Weird, I know.

(3) There is a problem with the touchpad scrolling after sending the laptop to sleep:

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and feel free to submit bug reports in the future. Also testing suspend to RAM with the Gutsy Tribe 2 Live CD would be very helpful.
