[Hewlett-Packard HP G60 Notebook PC] suspend/resume failure [non-free: nvidia]

[Patrick Bauer]

This bug is a part of the Jaunty 9.04 Beta Kernel Team Suspend / Resume Testing ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/SuspendResumeTesting ). As soon as I start the suspend_test script in a terminal window, the notebook will suspend, but will not resume automatically after 20 seconds. I press the power button manually, to attempt to wake up the notebook. It comes up with a blank screen, and a blinking cursor (stays this way for a long time), and then come up to another blank screen, with a white screen pointer, and that's it. I try to switch to a console window (ctrl-alt-f1), and try to login. As soon as i type in my username, and hit enter, this line comes up:

[ 6121.328435] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 410520469.

... and it won't let me login in. Every time i try to login, a similar line prints itself on the console. When i go to hold the power button, to shut the notebook down, a similar line prints itself on the screen right after depressing the power button. This bug is similar to bug #301081. I also have to mention that this suspend / resume issue has existed in Ubuntu 8.10 as well. The full model name of this laptop is HP G60-126CA. Also, all updates from update-manager have been applied as of Monday, March 30th.

exact same problem. any news?

[benji.ijneb (benji-ijneb)]

how very odd. On Arch Linux now, and a recent kernel upgrade fixed this issue! All's working well, now!

Hi all,

We'd like to know whether this is still an issue for you. If so, please can you try with last kernel version, (Lucid upstream) which is located on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/?

Thanks in advance.

ah. well, i'm actually running Arch Linux, and what i think must have
been a kernel update about 3 months or so ago has fixed the issue.
suspend and resume now work perfectly, running on 2.6.32, so i
suppose it should on ubuntu? thanks, anyway :)

Sure! It'll work in Ubuntu as well.

I'm marking this bug as 'Fix Commited' waiting for other reporters to check.

Pepe:

The resume / suspend issue is gone for me. What happened was that this laptop had its motherboard / hard drive changed (due to some technical issue that is still present). After your comment on 2010-02-04, i installed Ubuntu 9.10 (AMD64) on the laptop, with all updates (because only windows was running on it).

With the latest updates (2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux), i'm not having the resume / suspend issue, but am having trouble getting wireless started (have to press the wireless button manually).

I'll try the new kernel, and report back shortly.

hi:

I tested with the latest kernel ( http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ ), and suspend / resume still seems to be working. Getting wireless to work however, is an issue, but i know that there's probably a work-around for that, and that's not what this bug is about.

pat@ubuntu-hp-g60:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-hp-g60 2.6.32-020632-generic #020632 SMP Thu Dec 3 10:09:58 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hiya. Hate to be a killjoy, but I'm afraid things might not be as dandy as we think. I'm still on Arch Linux, and kernel 2.6.32 stills works great. However the latest kernel available on arch (2.6.36) has a new issue with suspend. When going to suspend, the system switches over to console 1, and the screen blanks. The keyboard then becomes non-responsive and a hard power-down is required.

While this may not affect ubuntu quite yet, it will soon, so I advise you all to take a peek and see if you get this issue with the latest kernel, too!
