pm-utils and suspend2

Is the suspend2 kernel necessary for pm-utils to work? If not, can anyone offer any insight as to why the hibernate and sleep scripts just blank the screen and then do nothing? (computer is unresponsive)

No, suspend2 is not needed.  Can you give output of the pm-utils log?  /var/log/pm-suspend.log

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

hm.. right the same thing with my hp compaq nc8000, but only for suspend. pm-hibernate works well.
P.S. I'm not using fglrx though.

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

Seems to work now, I had the same issues (unresponsive blanked screen) some time ago.

Compal EL80 here.

Hibernate still fails (just drops back to X after some seconds) but I haven't looked into it yet.

I have exactly the same problem.

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

I've got some problems of my own, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance.  I've got a suspend2 kernel (even though I guess it isn't necessary), acpi, acpid, cpufreq/cpufreqd, pm-utils and laptop-mode installed, and I get a blank, unresponsive screen when I try to run pm-hibernate.  Here is my log:

Indeed, there is no "disk" file in /sys/power/, which is clearly a problem.  What should I do?

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

You're probably better off asking on the pm-utils list:

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

my hibernate works, it's just that there isn't enough swap to cover the used ram

hint: remember kids, make your swap partition as advised, twice the size of ram or at least 1,5x is the right spot.

remember the swap has to cover both swap and the ram, or so I guess (?).

I've added /etc/pm/sleep.d/100dropcaches which reads:

#!/bin/bash

. /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions

RETVAL=0
case "$1" in
        hibernate|suspend)
                /bin/sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                ;;
        *)
                /bin/sync; echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
                ;;
esac

exit $RETVAL

it's chmod'ed +x.

cheers.

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

I have a functioning pm-suspend and pm-hibernate....two things on my machine make it not work:

1. If I don't boot with noapic irqpoll, I get a black screen and it won't suspend
2. If I'm using compiz, it will suspend, but won't wake up all the way

Good luck!

Re: pm-utils and suspend2

I have functioning pm-hibernate, but with pm-suspend I just have a blank screen (LCD Backlight) when resuming.

Neither of these work with nvidia on this Dell 8500 Inspiron laptop. I have a black screen on resume and have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to come out.

Any suggestions as to resolving this would be warmly welcome. I have thought of one to do with a firework and the rear end of a nvidia manager, but I am not sure it would work.
