xubuntu15.04 goes into sleep after power-up

[Bernard Decock]

The machine powers up and then goes automatically into sleep. Pressing the power-button again gives the common log-in screen. This appears to be timed, as if you don't succeed to enter your password within a short time, it goes back into sleep again. During booting the screen is blank. Once logged in, everything runs fine, except that the power-down-button doesn't work prperly, the machine goes into sleep. You can only power the machine down by means of sudo shutdown -h now.

Without having more data this sounds like a broken lid switch. Can you please boot, let it suspend, wake it up again, and attach the output of journalctl? Thanks!

[Bernard Decock (decockbernard)]

Hereby the ouput of journalctl attached in info.txt. Hope It gives you some clues.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

It doesn't say that a button was pressed, so it could still be that it considers the lid closed. The Inspiron 6000 is a laptop, so it should have a lid switch; just to ensure, is the lid actually open while you do this, or do you boot with closed lid an an external monitor?

Can you please try two things:

  * sudo mv /lib/udev/rules.d/70-power-switch.rules{,.disabled}
    Then reboot -- is the immediate suspend still happening?
    After that, please restore with
    sudo mv /lib/udev/rules.d/70-power-switch.rules{.disabled,}

 * Press shift during boot to get the grub boot menu, "e"dit the default entry, and append "debug" to the "linux" line. Then get the journal again as previously, and attach it here.

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

The lid is always open (as you can't power up when the lid is closed, the lid covers the power-button). No extra monitor is attached.

First of all, when the power-switch-rules are disabled, the machine starts up normally (no hibernate) as well as the power-down sequence is normal again (it just powers off => no longer to power off by means of the terminal-command sudo shutdown - h now.

Here are the power-rules underneath:

When powering down you can shortly the Xubuntu-screen as before, while when the power-rules are active, the screen
immediately goes black.

For the second test, I enabled the rules again and set the debug-flag. The output of the journal is attached.

The latest updates installed a new version of systemd which installed a fresh copy of the power-switch-rules. After that I got the same initial problems. So I applied the proven solution again : remove the power-switch-rules. If every time a fresh copy of the power-switch-rules will be installed, that will be rather annoying. I'll try to set up an empty power-switch-rules-file in order to prevent the installation of a new one.
