Hibernate and Suspend don't work with Desktop Effects

[Nat Tuck]

With desktop effects enabled, I can't resume from Hibernate or Suspend properly. When I try to resume, I get movable mouse pointer on a black background. For suspend, I was able to get GDM to restart with Alt-SysReq-K and log back in - so it's coming back most of the way.

When I disable desktop effects, resuming brings back the desktop as expected.

I'm running fully updated Gutsy Beta on an Asus Z71V with proprietary Nvidia graphics driver.

A couple weird bits worth noting:
- When I log in with desktop effects enabled I don't see any panel or desktop icons until I click the mouse.
- When I restore from Hibernate with desktop effects disabled, it doesn't restore the wireless connection properly.

Here's a pre-emptive lspci -nnvv, since that seems popular in bug reports.

Interestingly, when I suspend and successfully resume (with desktop effects off) I get a "Suspending Failed" popup.

Wireless networking doesn't always restore properly from Suspend or Hibernate with desktop effects off either.

I have a similar problem on my Fujitsu P5020 laptop (Intel 855 graphics, using default Intel driver), except for me the computer fails to suspend with Desktop Effects enabled. The screen blanks, but then the hard disk starts spinning, and the machine locks up. I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. But, with desktop effects disabled, the computer suspends and resumes without issue.

Attached is my lspci. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help with this.

I forgot to mention that I am using a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 RC.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?

[Charles Profitt (cprofitt)]

Daniel - I am working on similar issues... though I never had an issue with 8.04 I am having them in 8.10. My graphics are Nvidia though.

hi, what say the:
cat /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults

in my case is a desktop computer, but i set this:

SLEEP_MODULE="uswsusp"
HIBERNATE_MODE="shutdown"
# These variables will be handled specially when we load files in
# /etc/pm/config.d.
# Multiple declarations of these environment variables will result in
# their contents being concatenated instead of being overwritten.

# If you need to unload any modules to suspend/resume, add them here.
SUSPEND_MODULES="nvidia ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd iwl3945 button"

True, you don't edit the file /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults
because that till we overwritten with new version of pm-utils

go to the file and put the same i tell you up, and try if that work for you...
sudo nano /etc/pm/config.d/config
and write the prefferences.

if you have errors, go and read the manual:
http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils

or try google

Might be fixed in Lucid Lynx. See #181693.
