Resuming from hibernation fails (video garbage with nouveau, no progress/hibernation with nvidia-current)

[Daniel Hahler]

Resuming from hibernation fails.

Before the computer turns off when hibernating, the screen gets garbled (screenshot 1).

When resuming, it takes very long (more than 7 minutes at least), and then fails with another form of garbled screen (screenshot 2).

I do not remember if I could reboot using Alt-SysRq-B, or if it hang completely - at least I could not switch to a VT or something like that.
Part of the screen (on the left side) was constantly moving.

I'm not sure if this is related to "nouveau", but will test that after reporting this.
I'll also report a bug against the linux package to get any useful information that might help.

I've tried it with nvidia-current (using a 6600GT), but it resulted in a blinking cursor without any progress after several minutes when trying to hibernate.
I could reboot the system using Alt-SysRq-R/E/I/S/U/B though.

Hi Daniel,

If you could also please 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.

I've just tried it using linux 2.6.34-999_2.6.34-999.201004301209, which worked somewhat better:
 - video distortion during hibernation (white stripes, flickering in the left region)
 - resuming took a very long time still, but it came up somewhat less distorted (like before it turned off)

I could see the desktop between the white stripes, and use programs etc.

Is there a way to reset the nouveau driver, so that the distortion goes away?
Previously, this might have been possible by switch to a VT and back, but now that a frame buffer is used, the graphic driver does not get reset.

I've now tried linux-headers-2.6.34-996-generic_2.6.34-996.201004231022 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/current/

This resulted in hibernation failure: the screen went black, I could here some regular hdd activity, but after ~10 minutes I did a hard reset (which caused fsck on reboot).

Status changed to confirmed.
This bug can be reproduced in sonyvaio vgncw16fg laptop with nvidia G230M graphics card. Resume form hibernation is not possible. How can we log the details during the hibernation. I think the logs can really help upstream developers for fixing the bug..

It comes up for me on Ubuntu Maverick (using Linux 2.6.35-999-generic #201008060910 SMP Fri Aug 6 10:22:05 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux), but after 10 minutes:
Mo 9. Aug 19:11:22 CEST 2010: performing hibernate
Mo 9. Aug 19:21:07 CEST 2010: Awake.
Mo 9. Aug 19:21:07 CEST 2010: Running hooks for thaw
[...]
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/000kernel-change thaw hibernate: success.
Mo 9. Aug 19:21:28 CEST 2010: Finished.

@Gursimran: I am closing this/my bug as Fixed (after all it does not fail anymore), but will verify that the stock Ubuntu kernel works for me, too.
I have reported the slowness in bug 405470 already.

You should create a new bug for your case; take a look at /var/log/pm-suspend.log; maybe that helps.
Also, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume for further help with debugging this.

What a mess: it does not hibernate using the Maverick kernel (linux-image-2.6.35-14-generic (2.6.35-14.20)) at all: hangs with a blinking cursor in the upper left of a black window for 10+ minutes, reacting to Alt-SysReq key combinations (and displaying certain output like with Alt-Sysreq-H)).

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

So, this is buggy with the Maverick kernel while it works with the upstream one.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

Marking as invalid: this was related to Lucid, which I've skipped.
I cannot reproduce it with Maverick currently (already the hibernation fails here).
