[Lenovo ThinkPad X230] suspend/resume failure

[Xavier Claessens]

I'm using a docking station. If I suspend the laptop when it is docked and resume after undocking it, the screen stay blank. I have to long-press the power button to reboot.

This is a regression in 13.10, was working fine on 13.04 with the same laptop.

WORKAROUND: If I remove the DVD reader from the docking station, then the issue is solved.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.12 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Booted on 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic from the link above and system crash on resume still happens.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

This upstream kernel bug seems to describe the same symptoms: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62801. If you can provide .deb packages with 839a8e8660b6777e7fe4e80af1a048aebe2b5977 reverted, I'll test it.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

I upgraded the BIOS with the bootable CD from the page you linked, did not change anything to the issue.

If I remove the DVD reader from the docking station, then the issue is solved. That really sounds like upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62801. There is a patch attached that I can test if needed, but I'm not sure how to build ubuntu kernel with that patch...

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

I've rebuild ubuntu kernel 3.11.0-14 with the upstream patch applied[1] and that fixed the issue.

Marking Triaged as upstream fix commit identified.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

Note that the upstream patch says it's an ugly hack. I don't know if they'll apply that or work on better solution.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

David Ing, yeah it wasn't supposed to do that. Could you please file a bug via https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug and subscribe me to it, and we can take it from there.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

Upstream fixed this bug with commit 85fbd722ad0f5d64d1ad15888cd1eb2188bfb557. I didn't test that myself yet, but if that commit can be included in an ubuntu kernel package, I'll be happy to test to confirm if it works.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

Actually that's the patch I tested earlier (minus small detail). So I can confirm it does fix the bug.

[ALinuxUser (buntulongername-new)]

Not fixed for me, on 5.8 and 5.10 kernels.
