[SOLVED] Problem with suspend to ram using kde

firekage · 2014-08-15 13:50:02

Hello.

I would like to ask for your help. I'm trying to solve one big problem - i'm not able to suspend to ram using kde (button). Suspend to ram works great only when i use command in terminal:

sudo pm-suspend

When i put this command in terminal, my computer sleeps, everything goes ok. Screen is being switched, than turned off. I would like to check why i'm not able to suspend to disk using kde button in kde. If i use it, then screen is being switched (black screen with cursor on the left right corner of screen), i hear that my hard drive disk sound like "loosing power", they are more silent than when computer works, but after it, nothing happens exept that screen is turned on, curor in the left upper corner of the screen is not blinking. I can't do anything, it looks like kde/arch freezes. I can do only power off by holding power off button, can't even do a reset. Could somebody help me? I don't know how to determine what is wrong, what causes this strange behaviour on my desktop (on laptop and netbook with default installation it works).

I checked logs in /var. There are ok.

This is my upower -d command

I don't know why deamon says that it can't be suspended to ram when using

sudo pm-suspend

works ok, works great. Could somebody help me?

Thanks.

Try to suspend via "systemctl suspend" which should work as a normal user. I assume this is also what KDE uses under the hood to suspend.

"to disk" ? It`s a typo ?

Yes, it's a typo - "suspend to ram" should be there.

It does not work, the same as using kde button in K>finish>suspend. It switches screen of, i see a black sreen with cursor in the left upper corner of the screen, nothing happens, juz it stays forever, have to power off computer.

Have you checked "journalctl" output for error messages from systemd?

Maybe one of the scripts in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/ does something that makes "pm-utils suspend" work for you.

You could copy /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service to /etc/systemd/system/, edit it and put "ExecStart=pm-utils suspend" there.

Yes. I did not find anything useful.

Tried this. My file looks like this;

firekage@arch_desktop /etc/systemd/system]$ cat systemd-suspend.service

I looked at both files named systemd-suspend.service in /etc/systemd/system and in /usr/lib/systemd/system/. These two files are the same files. I just added to my one line that is commented out. With this line, without this line, and with the one line you mentioned, still the same. I post screen that i taken with my camera:

I can do only power switch off in order to do anything. It stays on this screen.

The file you posted has two uncommented ExecStart lines. Only the last one should be uncommented. Try running "systemctl daemon-reload" after implementing changes.

-edit-

And the line should actually be "ExecStart=/usr/bin/pm-suspend", my mistake.

I would like to thank you very much - it works! This problem was something that was bugging me for a long time but i just could not solve it. I checked logs, do a reinstall, checked archwiki with topics that are related to suspend/hibernate and i had to do something wrong.

It works, i'm really glad. Big problem was solved, now i can suspend to ram with KDE and not only it works, shuts down my computer, but i don't have also problem with resuming from suspend to ram (even with nvidia drivers). Thank all of you for your time, advices, support

Nie ma to jak pomoc rodaka

Arch community is great, as always!
