fwts suspend make the system fail to resume but gnome shell suspend could resume

[Taihsiang Ho]

Distribution: Cosmic desktop (could reproduce similar issue on Bionic)
Kernel: 4.18.0-18-generic
Hardware: Dell Precision 5530 (CID 201807-26342)
fwts(18.03.00-0ubuntu4)

[Steps to Reproduce]

fwts -q --stdout-summary -r /tmp/fwts_results.log s3 --s3-sleep-delay 30 --s3-device-check --s3-device-check-delay 45

[Expected Result]

The system will resume few minutes later

[Actual Result]

Black screen. Kernel has no response (alt + sysreq + b malfunctions).

However, if we suspend the system over the desktop default suspend applet (launcher --> suspend) over gnoem shell, the system could be back normally and seems no function lost.

I feel like it is caused by fwts indirectly because the suspend/suspend_advanced_auto job calls checkbox-support-fwts_test to suspend.

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

If we tried to dump /var/log/syslog when calling

checkbox-support-fwts_test -f none -s s3 --s3-sleep-delay=30 --s3-device-check --s3-device-check-delay=45

it will get

There is no more log even I tried to press keys to wake up the system because the system died.

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

It looks like this is an issue directly related to fwts because I could reproduce the issue with

"fwts -q --stdout-summary -r /tmp/fwts_results.log s3 --s3-sleep-delay 30 --s3-device-check --s3-device-check-delay 45"

called by checkbox-support-fwts_test

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

"systemctl suspend" could resume the system from suspending status successfully.

[Alex Hung (alexhung)]

FWTS uses "g_dbus_proxy_call_sync" to perform suspend. This can be related to gnome (and therefore related to VGA driver).. Let's try 19.04 (gnome shell 3.22) again.

This can probably be done with Ubuntu live + fwts 19.03.

[Alex Hung (alexhung)]

I also notice it is using nouveau. Any chance we can try with NV's proprietary driver too?

[Taihsiang Ho (tai271828)]

It's able to reproduce with fwts (19.03.00-0ubuntu1~b).
