[SOLVED] Can't get suspend to ram to work (pm-utils)

It suspends, but then when I wake up my desktop the display is black. I followed the wiki, did things like add the resume hook, remove the autodetect hook, pm-is-supported returns empty, and I can't see from the pm-suspend.log what the issue could be

Re: [SOLVED] Can't get suspend to ram to work (pm-utils)

Can you post your /etc/pm-suspend.log ?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't get suspend to ram to work (pm-utils)

Sorry, I did not scroll down -- I did not recognize it for what it was

I have no experience with nVidia controllers; sorry.  Does anyone know if it is normal to skip the quirks for that display?
boast, can you change to a console using C-A-F1 ?  If not, can you ssh into the box after a resume?

Yes, that's normal and should work.

Looking at the module list maybe try stopping the video4linux before suspend.

To double check: boast, you rebuilt the kernel, yes?

yeah, I removed my tv-tuner card and it works fine now. Didn't really use it much anyways, so its no problem.

thanks all.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't get suspend to ram to work (pm-utils)

Now that was a lucky guess, great.

Not sure if you mean physically remove it. You will have read in the wiki that unloading etchy modules before suspend with a pm-suspend hook is an option used commonly.  You only have to check which modules the card uses and let pm-suspend unload them first, then you should be able to leave it in physically ..but if its only eating electricity ..
