[Asus K501UQ] Touchpad stops working after suspend

[Sergey Zolotarev]

When Ubuntu wakes up after suspend the touchpad doesn't work.

WORKAROUND: Use the nvidia proprietary drivers.

This change was made by a bot.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

In order to allow additional upstream mainline kernel developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest mainline kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following:
1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder).
2) The release names are irrelevant.
3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream.
4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .

If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may:
1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there.
2) Backup, or clone the primary install.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the mainline kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is not reproducible in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists.

If the issue is reproducible with the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so.

It is most helpful that after testing of the latest mainline kernel is complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed.

Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available.

Thank you for your help.

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

I installed the latest kernel (4.15) from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.15/ but it didn't help. Touchpad worked for a few seconds after wakeup but then it stopped working. Also same issue with reboot again, don't know why you deleted it.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, to advise, reports focus on one issue per report. This report is scoped to touchpad not working after suspend, not everything that may or may not work after suspend, or whatever other issues you may have.

Despite this, could you please provide the missing information from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend ?

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

This patch worked for me with v4.15 kernel:

https://paste.ubuntu.com/26496011/

I basically found the old patch and added an entry for K501UQ there. The author changed his code from using DMI_PRODUCT_NAME to DMI_CHASSIS_TYPE since then but that doesn't work for my laptop apparently.

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

I was wrong, this didn't fix the bug. After a few more suspends and wakes the touchpad is dead again.
I think it may depend on how many times the system is suspended or for how long it was suspended.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, please boot into latest mainline kernel with no patching/modifications, and provide the information from #5.

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

1. The issue occurs when resuming from suspend.
2. Suspend by closing the lid.
3. Resume by lifting the lid.
4-10. Can't provide this information because I can't get to the console after waking up.
11. See suspend_stats.txt.
12. Can't SSH into the laptop after resume - ssh says "No route to host". But under normal conditions I can SSH into it.

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

Could this be the cause?

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

Unfortunately I can't perform steps 4-10 in the suspend debugging guide because the display is not working after waking up when doing pm_trace (it's turned off), and I can't SSH into the system from another computer because the network seems to be down as well (No route to host). When the laptop is booted properly I can SSH into it without issues.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, the latest mainline kernel is now 4.15.1. As per your logs, you were booted in the Ubuntu kernel. So that upstream may review, could you please provide the information with latest mainline?

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

I've installed the 4.15.1 kernel, what should I do next? I'm having the same pm_trace issue as before.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, to clarify, have you always had the issue of the display not working after waking up and you can't SSH into it, or is this something that started recently?

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

I installed Ubuntu on this laptop a couple of weeks ago, so I can't say. But before Ubuntu I was using Fedora 27 for around 2 months and I didn't experience this problem there.

I'm attaching dmesg output after another touchpad incident, from 4.15.1 this time. I hope it helps. It looks like this may have something to do with nouveau, should I try using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev, to clarify, let us focus on the timeframe from since you installed Ubuntu a couple weeks ago to present.

1) To advise, it wouldn't hurt to see how things change when you use the nvidia proprietary driver. However, you will want to use the Ubuntu kernel (not mainline) before installing it and while using it. For information on nvidia versions available one may see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia .

2) To clarify, when you resume from suspend, is it that one of the three following outcomes occur or only two:
* Upon resume the display is not working and you can't SSH into it.
* It resumes but only the touchpad isn't working.
* It resumes and everything is working fine.

3) It would be helpful if you out the nvidia card from the pc to see if this influences your resume results.

[Sergey Zolotarev (szx)]

1) I've been using the drivers from NVIDIA with the normal (not mainline) kernel 4.13.0-32 for the past week and haven't had this touchpad issue.

2) When I resume from suspend the touchpad either works or it doesn't. It always stops working after I suspend/resume a few times. How much times can vary, but it's inevitable. The problem with the display occurs only when I enable pm_trace and then suspend and resume.

3) I don't think I can remove the NVIDIA card from this laptop. Even if I can I'm too afraid I'll break something and it will stop working.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Sergey Zolotarev:

Given the nvidia drivers are a WORKAROUND, it appears the touchpad not working is correlated to an issue with the graphics driver nouveau.

Hence, in order to upstream this, could you please remove the WORKAROUND, install the latest mainline kernel (now 4.16-rc1), reproduce, and attach the dmesg?
