Bug Description

Yesterday I upgraded to the 2.6.27-11-generic kernel and the new nvidia-glx-180 driver, and when I suspended my laptop it did not return from suspend condition(I only got a blank screen).

I've seen similar bugs after update to 2.6.27-11-generic, some of them solved by booting to the previous kernel, which I tried and in my case did not work.

My configuration:
Sony Vaio AR series
Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT
2.6.27-11-generic

It looks like the problem lies on the new nvidia-glx-180 driver, which I uninstalled and replaced it with the older package version, nvidia-glx-177. Now suspend works normally. If you need further information on this just tell me.

I can confirm this on my Toshiba Satellite A300. It fails with or without the proprietary ATI driver, with or without compositing on.

I was previously running Ubuntu 8.04 and both suspend and hibernate (and shut down) worked flawlessly all the time every time.

If more information is required please say so and I can go digging through log files.

Apparently, the issue is resolved on jaunty, at least on my configuration.

colder111,

How could this now be resolved? There were no updates sent. This problem still exists and I have not changed anything in the configuration.

Geekkit,

After the upgrade, I now have kernel 2.6.28-11 installed on my system, probably they fixed something and works better with the nvidia-glx-180 driver. Do not forget, your configuration is different than mine. I posted the bug specifically for the new version of the nvidia proprietary driver. You have , as you mentioned, an ATI graphics card, which totally changes things. If there is no bug relevant to your case, I suggest you file one yourself, providing your own configuration.

Cheers

Hi colder111,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 359401

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
