Thinkpad x120e gets stuck hibernating

Forma · 2013-10-09 19:46:33

I recently switched to Arch from opensuse, and mostly it's working great. One issue remains though (had it in suseas well), when i try to suspend to disk the laptop gets stuck. The screen goes black, but the power light keeps blinking, and the fan continues to spin. I' ve tried this from the arch wiki

Suspend works out of the box, but hibernate may fail - the system usually hangs with a black screen and a blinking power button led. To fix this we need to modify the hibernation mode; using pm-utils is just a matter of creaing a file /etc/pm/config.d/hibernate_mode containing a single line:
HIBERNATE_MODE="shutdown"

But that changed nothing. Is there anything else i could try?

Suspend to RAM works just fine BtW.

Don't use pm-utils. Try using systemctl's command. If necessary, mask whatever pm-utils does or tries to do. (You may not be able to uninstall pm-utils if stuff depends on it.)

You mean by using sudo systemctl suspend? That does make a difference. The fan no longer spins, and the power light is blinking much more slowly. It also wakes up again. But, it seems to be suspended to RAM rather than disk, otherwise the lights would be off.

Oh, one more thing i should have mentioned, i'm using the open ATI drivers.

EDIT: systemctl hibernate has the same effect has suspending through the KDE interface. Fan keeps spinning, power-button light blinks furiously, laptop does not come out of hibernation.

You probably should not need sudo.

But I would check the journal and/or logs. You will need root privileges to get useful info from journalctl unless you've added your user to the relevant group.

Not really sure what to check for in the journal. I found this from the time i tried hibernating (with systemctl hibernate, without sudo). But i don't see anything that would help me solve the problem. I hope someone can make something of it.

Is swap set up correctly?

Forma · 2013-10-10 22:53:01

I think so, this is the output of swapon -s

Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority

Hmm... I'm not really sure. I have read that hibernate (as opposed to sleep) is rather hit-or-miss in Linux - either it works or it doesn't, so to speak. The only thing I guess you might try is stopping everything you can and hibernating with as little active as possible. If that worked, you could try to identify what was causing the problem.

Forma · 2013-10-10 23:04:01

Thanks for the tip, i'll give that a try.

BtW, could having a dual boot system be the problem?

cfr · 2013-10-10 23:05:57

I wouldn't think so. That is, I've never heard that. Unless you were to hibernate, boot into another OS and then reboot and try to resume. I know that won't work. But otherwise, I don't think it should matter.
