Comment 113 for bug 226279

Good news: The -19 kernel in hardy-proposed fixed Resume from Hibernate for me (though it is slow, and progress bar looks frozen, it works). Bad news: Resume from Suspend is still broken for me.

Details of what I did:

I have a Dimension 4700 - BIOS Rev. A10, Atheros-based wireless card with restricted driver, no restricted ATI driver used.

I removed previous version of -19 kernel and repository as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/226279/comments/106

Figured out how to add hardy-proposed repository, (GUI method, but based on repository listing in http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=0d6286ee06bc8596c8a856a2247212e3&p=4846197&postcount=8 ), i.e.: System > Administration > Software Sources > [administrator password] > Third-Party Software tab > Add > deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

Let Update Manager update the list of files. Ignored suggested application updates for now -- wanted to try new kernel first. So:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal > sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic

Restarted computer.

Selected the -19 kernel in GRUB

Logged into my account and waited for GNOME to finish loading. Wireless and sound seemed to work this time.

Tried System > Quit > Suspend

Suspended quickly, but pressing Power button on computer to resume resulted in a blank screen with a blinking cursor, no keyboard, no mouse, no GUI, no Login. I waited a few minutes, but nothing was happening, not even disk activity.

Shut down fairly quickly with a couple of error messages (sorry, they went by too fast -- are they saved in a log somewhere?).

Pressing Power button on computer to resume resulted in a slow process to get the splash screen up, the progress bar moved back and forth a bit and then seemed to freeze, there was still sporadic disk activity, and then finally the Password prompt for my account came up, and I was able to log back into the GNOME GUI. It was slower than in Gutsy, and the frozen progress bar was not reassuring. On the plus side, wireless networking worked right away after the Resume.

There is definite improvement overall, with at least Hibernate being possible again. Thanks you very much or all your work on this, and thanks in advance for looking into the Suspend issue further if possible.
