[Dell Inc. Precision M90] hibernate/resume failure [non-free: nvidia]

[Chris Braddock]

When system entered "hibernation" state, there was a blinking underline cursor dimly left in the upper left of the screen. I've never seen the machine go in to this state. The disk and battery indicator LEDs were off, the power LED was on. Connected USB drives did not power down (as they do when I power off). I had to? hold the power button down to force a hard shutdown.

Hi Chris,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 473629

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy.

"Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ ."

Can I just boot to a live CD of that, try to hibernate and report results?

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Chris,
     You sure can. :-)

Thanks!

Hi again Jeremy - sorry for the back and forth on this, but once I got thinking about hibernate with a Live CD my mind kind of imploded. :)

Since hibernate is supposed to write the system state to disk (but I'm running Live "without disk") ... uhh, where does Live write to when I hibernate?

Also when I boot up I'm guessing normal hibernate mode maybe alters the boot loader or something to bypass normal OS selection, etc. and I'm confused what's going to happen at boot-time -- if I'm supposed to try to boot to the Live CD again at that point or what.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Chris, you are probably right, I was thinking suspend/resume since suspend writes to RAM.

[Chris Braddock (braddock-chris)]

Ok, I will probably wait for 10.4 release, then update my Ubuntu partition. I can report back then.
