26-suspend2 error: "Some modules failed to unload: nvidia"

Laplace's Daemon · 2007-08-20 23:57:23

I've been trying to install the suspend2 kernel to allow my machine to hibernate, but I can't get it to work from within X (though it seems to work fine in run level 3). When I try, I get:

$ sudo hibernate
Password:
:: Saving ALSA Levels                                                    [DONE] 
Some modules failed to unload: nvidia
hibernate: Aborting suspend due to errors in ModulesUnloadBlacklist (use --force to override).
:: Restoring ALSA Levels                                                 [DONE]

Here is my xorg.conf:

I second this. I have the same problem, only I have been using ususpend, just following the
instructions in http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suspend_to_Disk

djszapi · 2009-07-30 20:00:00

and maybe this one:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils

ArchWiki is our best friend

adrian.ratnapala · 2009-08-01 16:10:32

So does this mean that ususpend with hibernate-script is somehow broken and that pm-utils must be used?

UPDATE: I just tried it. pm-utils suspends without complaint, and was easy to set up. I still have problems
though, and will post them separately, if I don't find a solution on the wiki.
