Having trouble resuming from suspend.

I have a dell mini 9 that I cannot get to resume from suspend, whether it be suspending to disk or RAM.  I rarely suspend to disk anyway, I would just like it to suspend to RAM when I close the lid. 

I have followed all of the instructions here;   https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … ate-script, and neither s2ram or the hibernate script would allow me to resume from suspend.  I just get a flashing cursor.  I can switch to a tty, but after entering the user name, it does not prompt me for a password.  It just shows a flashing cursor.  I have to ALT+SYSREQ+REISUB to reboot the system.

I even installed xfce4-power-manager to see if that would allow me to suspend, no such luck. 

I read somewhere that disabling the power stepping for the Intel atom processor helps, I have done this and still receive the same results.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this working?

Thanks,

Dave.

Re: Having trouble resuming from suspend.

Have you tried using pm-utils instead?

Re: Having trouble resuming from suspend.

I just finished working through the wiki you provided.  My problem remains, I cannot resume from suspend.  I also confirmed (as the article suggests in the troubleshooting section) that speed stepping is disabled in my BIOS.

Here are the last two suspend attempts and one hibernate attempt from /var/log/pm-suspend.log;

Allocated buffer at 0x2010 (base is 0x0)

I don't see any problems, but maybe I'm missing something.

I also should mention that I have exchanged the uresume hook from the previous wiki that I followed, and replaced it with resume.  So everything should be good there.

Any other ideas?

Re: Having trouble resuming from suspend.

Do you use any software which comes along with own kernel modules such as virtualbox?

If so, try to recompile them.

No. nothing that requires its own modules.

Re: Having trouble resuming from suspend.

Try adding "nohpet" to the kernel boot parameters, that worked for me when my netbook refused to resume properly.

Re: Having trouble resuming from suspend.

try to suspend from init 3

$ su -
# init 3

this will bring you to a virtual terminal (init 3), log in and suspend. with pm-suspend.

if it does resume. look into debugging your display drivers.

if it does not resume correctly: start testing with modules:
remove all unneeded kernel modules before suspending.

and see if it does indeed resume. start adding them one by one till you find the responsible one.

there was an opensuse page dedicated to debugging suspend issues. try that too. (google!)
