Suspend failure on A8N-E
hey all,
this is yet another suspend problem, wondering if its anything trivial im doing wrong
simply suspend runs the scripts (as far as i can see) pretty well and seems to work, the screen turns off, some other hardware seem to shut down but essentially the system is still running at full power, which is my problem.
i've tried pm-suspend and the in built suspend button in xfce, all fail with the problems above
echo mem /sys/power/state is the same except the screen stays on with a blinking cursor in the corner
some other info:
/var/log/pm-suspend.log:
Initial commandline parameters: --quirk-dpms-suspend
--quirk-dpms-on
--quirk-vbestate-restore
--quirk-vbemode-restore

Any ideas? kernel? acpi? If i need to provide any more information just ask

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
I'm right there with you with a similar setup. Trying to get suspending/hibernating to work on a desktop is kinda hard sometimes, huh? Although I've had a similar experience in that I've had it work on Ubuntu, so I've never quite known what the deal is.
Using s2ram -f I can get my system to suspend (to RAM; to disk has some problems) once successfully, and it will even restore fine, but then on the next try it doesn't work. The hard drive(s) seems to shut off, and the screen goes blank, but my fans stay on and the monitor stays on (just black). It's good for one cycle, but that's it.
I'd like to get it to work, but honestly I shut my computer down when I'm done with it. If I leave it on it's to seed torrents or something. I'd like to get suspend to work on my family computer more.

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
Yep, I believe it may be a bug with the kernel, since I have had it running before on older versions of Ubuntu and Debian...
I hear theres other backends for suspend/hibernate etc, but I've yet to attempt them...
EDIT: Posted too fast xD
Yeah I must waste an insane amount of electricity the amount of times I just leave it running to come back later, sucks to have obscure hardware doesn't it...

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
Suspend works here on A8N-E and has always worked, more or less.

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
It has been working since I assembled this PC some 4 years ago, with minor regressions every now and then. Currently I'm using pm-utils with uswsusp on the latest stock kernel. The only nondefault thing I have to take care of is unloading the module for my PCI M-Audio Revolution 5.1.
I'm using nvidia, maybe it's ati that's problematic for you? Have you tried suspending without X running?
-edit-
Okay, as I normally use only suspend to disk, I checked suspend to RAM and it suspended and resumed properly once, but it didn't work the second time. It seems to be working properly on some kernel releases and on some it doesn't. Suspend to disk is flawless, though.

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
Right, tried using the uswsusp backend with pm-utils, and i was left with X closing and bash just left there frozen, same using s2ram -f.
So things look even worse for me, might try suspend to disk however...

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
I can't get suspend to disk to work for me even once. It will tell me it's writing and ready to shut down and then just sit there with a blank screen. It is possible, however, that I don't have my swap partitions big enough.
EDIT: Nevermind, I did have my swap set up wrong. I have 2 swap partitions and I had suspend.conf setup to use the smaller one. It works flawlessly now. Cool. I'll have to try it on the family computer now.

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
The Supend to Disk page on the wiki is easy to follow, but I'll outline how I got it working just because.
First I had to install uswsusp and hibernate-script. You don't need to do anything with s2disk, but you need to configure hibernate properly to work with it. To do that was actually quite easy.
Edit the following files (in /etc/hibernate): blacklisted-modules, common.conf, disk.conf, hibernate.conf.
In blacklisted-modules, if you use nVidia, you'll need to comment out or delete the nvidia line. If you don't, you probably don't need to touch this file.
In common.conf I added a line that says "RestartServices network" (no quotes) under the "###services" section because after resuming I was unable to do anything online at first. This was the only edit.
In disk.conf just make sure the first uncommented line is "TryMethod ususpend-disk.conf". By default it should be listed first.
In hibernate.conf I commented out "TryMethod suspend2.conf", although I'm not sure this was necessary since I don't have TuxOnIce installed or configured. Other than this, make sure "TryMethod disk.conf" is listed first so hibernate knows to suspend to disk rather than RAM.
The other three files that need editing are /etc/suspend.conf, /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
In suspend.conf change the "resume device" line to point to your swap partition. I have "resume device = /dev/disk/by-uuid/91d8da0d-007e-42f1-bae3-d5f1741b5dd4" since I have 2 hard drives and occasionally they switch back and forth between sda and sdb, but if you have just one /dev/sdax works. You'll also point to this partition in menu.lst; on the "kernel" line make sure you add the option "resume=/dev/..." (where ... will be replaced with sdax or disk/by-uuid, or whatever method you prefer).
Finally, edit the last line in mkinitcpio.conf by adding "uresume" between "sata" and "filesystems".
After you've done all this run the command "mkinitcpio -p kernel26" as root and you should be set. A simple "sudo hibernate" (or just running "hibernate" as root) will do the job, and hopefully everything will work. I was surprised when it did, but pleased.

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
Bit late reply, but I've managed to hibernate fine, thanks for the info tonyisnt 
I didnt manage a resume yet, but I had resume in my mkinitcpio.conf instead of uresume.
I'll tweak a bit more and see if I can get suspend to work too...
EDIT: Hibernate/resume fully working for one cycle, havent tried suspend or two cycles

Re: Suspend failure on A8N-E
Haven't a clue why, it seems to be the case for all distributions, i dont often use it more than once at a time, so it doesnt bother me that much...
Suppose you could dig around the internet a bit more, maybe file a bug report...somewhere, somehow, with some sort of useful information
