Lucid freeze after close lid

[Yunkwan]

sony vaio vgn-n29vn
OS: Ubuntu Lucid Latest

If I manually hit ctrl + alt + del (then I got a shutdown dialog)--> sleep , my laptop can really go to sleep(suspend to ram) correctly.

The setting in power manager is close lid to sleep. But when I actually close the lid, my laptop doesn't go to sleep. I can only see the hard disk light flash quite a short while then the power light is still on and keeps green. (when my vaio sleeps, the power light keeps flashing in orange.) So, apparently it's not sleeping. Then I open the lid, I only got a black screen. I try to move my mouse, nothing happen. I press some keys, still nothing happen. I tried to press ctrl-alt-F(1-6), unfortunatly, I can't even switch to any other tty.

I even tried this method "Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken"
http://mark.koli.ch/2009/02/linux-magic-sysrq-key-r-e-i-s-u-b-reboot-even-if-system-utterly-broken.html
It's surprised to know that even this method can't reboot my laptop.

Finally, I have to press my power button till my laptop shutdown. This happens every single time I close my laptop lid.
I have never experience this issue in Ubuntu Karmic and Ubuntu Jaunty.

I found a kernel crash log in /var/crash/ , but not quite sure if it helps.

This affects me too.

This affects me too

[Aurélien Leblond (blablack)]

In addition to the lswh.txt I posted, I as well use a recompiled kernel without the ACPI 'Suspend to RAM' and 'Hibernation' activated as I don't use them.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the current bug, but I just suppose that once the lid of my laptop is down, Lucid might try to activate one of these two functionalities.

Finally, this bug occurs only if the lid of my laptop is down for a long enough time. Closing it and opening it immediately doesn't trigger this issue.

If you need any additional information, let me know.

Hey, I just figure out that all of use, who encounter this problem, are using a similar/same graphic card, the Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller.

I tested Ubuntu Lucid on another laptop with an integrated ATI graphic card, this issue doesn't exist on it though. that laptop can sleep correctly by closing the lid. Also it can wake up successfully. However, it's screen keeps flashing after wake up though. That's probably a problem related to the driver though, (maybe plymouth also have something to do with.)

is it the intel driver's problem or the plymouth?

I'm also affected by this bug, and I have an nvidia card.
Also when switching to another user, after logging out,
the same issue shows up.

[Yunkwan (chanyunkwan0217)]

this bug is fixed for a while on my machine that uses intel graphic card

Hi Yunkwan,

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 538521

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.

This also affects my Sony VAIO CW series laptop with an NVIDIA Geforce graphics card running 10.04.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

This bug report was marked as Incomplete and has not had any updated comments for quite some time. As a result this bug is being closed. Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . Also, please be sure to provide any requested information that may have been missing. To reopen the bug, click on the current status under the Status column and change the status back to "New". Thanks.
