[Feisty Regression]Dell Inspiron 630m, does not wake up after suspend

[mexlinux]

Hi
My laptop ( kubuntu database id ca5b84feb92d322aff4d855e7ec121ce) was workung great in Edgy, I have made a clean install or Feisty, now if I got o suspend to ram, and then try to wake it up, it just stays blocked, nothing happens...

[William Grant (wgrant)]

Works fine for me. Is there any special hardware in it other than the defaults? (Bluetooth or an alternate graphics card, for example)

[William Grant (wgrant)]

When you wake it up, does the power light turn back on? If so, try closing the lid again for a few seconds, then reopening it. Sometimes the LCD might not turn on properly again.

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Just default hardware, no bluetooth, not any special device....

When it wakes up the power light turns back on, but the LCD does not turn on, if I type in blind, it does not seem to be responding (not even NumLock, or those keys, I will try the reclose lid, and will come back whit more info.

By the ways Hibernations works very god.

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Nothing happens if I close the lid, and nothing happens if I reopen it.

When it semi-awakes I can hear that the cdrom is being accessed,
Iwas wrong, keys like Num or Caps Lock, work, I mean they swith the leds.
But the sLCD creen keeps turned off.
And I hit keys like Ctrl-Alt-Back nothing happens
Or If I use the front multimedia keys trying to access amarok and start playing music, nothing.
Alt+F4 does nothing either....
I must keep the power button for a while in order to turn it off, and the turn on again.

Me and some other people of the German Ubuntu community have got the same problem:

my uname -a (same as mexlinux):

[penguin (arnav316)]

hey...i use feisty on an IBM t60 and have the same issued with the suspend but if i disable the Beryl manager and just use the gnome window manager that problem seems to get solved...are you using beryl by any chance?

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Just to inform, I have updated the kernel:
uname-a
Linux mcanedo-laptop 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Wed May 23 01:46:23 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Problem is still present

[paenny (christoph900)]

I've got also problems with suspend on my IBM t60p. I always get a black screen after trying to get back from suspend.
The hint of penguin does not work, i still have the problem when i disable Beryl manager.
Is there any chance the problem gets solved soon?

[Robby (mail-otr-exchange)]

Please set the importance to "high". Because of this bug notebookusers can't use Feisty. A lot downgraded to Edgy.

[penguin (arnav316)]

paenny..you're right...it only worked a couple of times as a fluke..but it hasn't solved the problem. the screen goes blank (or sometimes stuck on the screen saver) and the suspend to disk light just keeps flashing..seems like forcing the computer to shut down and restarting is the only thing?

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

Agree with Roberto, importance should be High.
Why: It affects DELL laptops, which now should be a support target, no?

[artbeall (artbeall)]

I just want to confirm I am having the same problem but with a different Dell Laptop model. I have a Dell Inspiron 9300. My uname information is: uname -a Linux abeall-laptop 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. I would really like this bug fixed. Thanks.

Same problem on an E1505N. Installing 915resolution helps dramatically, but I still get it from time to time.

[Robby (mail-otr-exchange)]

Ah... Using a nvidia graphic card installing the nvidia-glx driver solves this problem. So maybe it's a bug in the x-server or the oss drivers...

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

I have 915resolution installed since the begining...problem present

[The Wired (markzep)]

I have the same problem on a ibm t60, the system is set for the screen saver to come on after 5 min. this works fine. then it's set for the monitor to turn off after 10 min.
7 out of 10 times when i touch a key or move the mouse nothing will happen. the drive is spinning and all lights are on but the screen will not wake. if i close the lid and put the system to sleep when i open it it works fine. The temporary work around that works me is i press FN and space bar - this turns the screen back on with it zoomed then i press FN and spacbar again and it resumes the normal size.

[mexlinux (mcanedo)]

I do not have this problem on Gutsy Beta anymore.

[gehzumteufel (gehzumteufel)]

i am on gutsy final and have this problem.

2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP

[gehzumteufel (gehzumteufel)]

forgot the other file. here it is

[Charlie Daly (cdaly)]

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro, U200 running Gutsy with all the latest updates and I have this problem. On suspend to RAM, I briefly see a green grid which makes it look like the screen saver is working. Then the screen goes blank and then the FAN starts, which would indicate to me that the CPU is going full belt.
At this point, the computer doesn't respond to any thing except the power button and this normally has to be pressed for maybe 5 seconds.

If I suspend to RAM by closing the screen, then sometimes, the screen is restored, but the computer doesn't respond.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
