Bug Description

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400:

Intel Core Duo 1.73ghz.
2 GB RAM.
ATi Mobility X1400.
Intel IPW3945 wireless card.

I can't suspend (or hibernate for that matter) at all. I have tried this with the fglrx driver given by default in gutsy (8.37) and the newest driver (8.41). In both cases, the suspend process seems to go all the way except to the end; the power light does not begin slowly pulsing and the fan stays on; the screen still looks a little bit eerily green.

I'm not sure that's the same bug, considering you are actually able to
resume. The suspending process does not even complete here, hard-locking the
system (requiring 5 seconds on the power button to turn off).

I have the same issue with Suspend on an Inspiron 6000. The computer fails to enter the suspend state and must be manually turned off via the power button (resume is impossible, as it never actually suspends).

If I switch to a virtual terminal, stop gdm (thus stopping X), and execute:
$ sudo /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
I can get the system to suspend. Nicely, it also comes back correctly!

I forgot to mention that I my issues with suspend on the Inspiron 6000 occur while using both the 8.37and 8.41 fglrx drivers on a Radeon Mobility X300 card.

If, however, I use the non-proprietary driver, suspend works flawlessly (so far - I have only tried it a few times).

In private communication, Sean mentioned that it worked in Feisty with the
fglrx drivers -- at least that's something to go on!

Yes. fglrx 8.41 suspend worked flawlessly in Feisty - it never once crashed.

I'm seeing the same problems with an Inspiron E1505. Suspend just stops either with the screen turned off or with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. A hard reboot is required in either case. Suspend worked reasonably reliably on Feisty on this machine. I seem to remember getting a successful suspend on Gutsy before installing fglrx and xgl (both the repo versions). I'm not really in the mood to uninstall those now that I have compiz fusion and awn working nicely for me.

Confirming that this is a regression from Feisty, where suspending with fglrx driver works perfectly.

I also have the blinking cursor problem on my PC running Ubuntu Gusty and the fglrx driver from ATI website (8.40.4) on a ATI Radeon X1600 graphic card.

Like someone said earlier in this report, when gdm is turn off in terminal, suspend to ram works perfectly.
Could this problem be link to gdm? (Does someone on Kubuntu have this bug?)
Or is there a way to tell Ubuntu to stop gdm before suspend (and start it back when resuming)? I know there is a "STOP_SERVICES" variable in /etc/default/acpi-support, but if I put gdm in stop_services, nothing is changed while suspend to ram.

I can post the different logs if you need them.

P.S.: When gdm is stopped, the computer hibernate well (resume is another thing, but at least I don't have the blinking cursor...)

Aaron Sarna (shoofy) wrote :

I also now notice that after it fails to suspend it seems to cause a very large memory leak in Xgl. Xgl ends up using about 60% CPU and very large amounts of RAM and it definitely starts just after a failed suspend.

Darin Barnes (darin-barnes) wrote :

Hmmm I'm getting slightly different results when I set my computer into Resume and Hibernate.
Resume will not give me a blinking cursor or lag out. It will perform the identical action of "Lock Screen."
Hibernate does throw me to a blinking cursor for about 5 seconds. Then it will go to the "Lock Screen" and also have a Keyring password prompt on top of that.

Both modes do not force me to restart.

This is likely a duplicate of Bug #121653. FGLRX doesn't support 2.6.23, which could really mean "doesn't support the new SLUB allocator" (which Ubuntu uses in 2.6.22).
