In case it’s a driver problem, to hibernate without X (and DE) present, you can try pm-hibernate from a text console (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1). Then:

Sign in as root.
Issue command to go to Runlevel 3: init 3
Press enter to get commandline back
Issue command pm-hibernate

If it works, the problem is probably with the xorg driver. Depending on how you resume from hibernate, if in console, you will need to sign back in as root, and issue the command init 5 to reload X and sign into the DE as normal user. Don’t forget to go back to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), press enter for commandline and logout from root (exit). Ctrl+Alt+F7 should get you back to the DE.

What about this:

[56912.419559] snapshot_ioctl: ioctl ‘4004330c’ is deprecated and will be removed soon, update your suspend-to-disk utilities

Did you look for an update?

Hi,
I got the same problem on my netbook Acer Aspire One D255 but this is KDE related because it works on KDE 4.4.4 but after upgrade to 4.5.5 (or 5.4 or 5.3) it does not work anylonger!

No more suspend/hibernation after KDE update

5

Hibernation works from single-user text console. Moreover its working from DE if I login into fresh user profile. When I logged to my profile and have some programs running it might work, but I need to give some consecutive retries before it actually hibernates. So it seems more like memory related problem. Don’t know where to look further, as dmesg and pm-suspend.log clear of any error messages.

6

pm-utils-1.3.0-10.1.1.i586

7

HI,
I have the same problem if I use KDE greater than 4.4.4. So I guess this is KDE related

8

Doesn’t that rather suggest that the problem lies with the use of KDE 4.5.5 or the previous non-standard KDE updates? So re-establishing your hidden KDE settings files in /home may be the way to go, first copying the old ones to a safe place before deleting.

9

HI,
I tried with a fresh ./kde4 and get the same problem. I did not try with a new user.

10

Did you notice on which version of KDE did the problem start? Assume you did restart KDE after resetting ./kde4 (logoff and back on again, or even a reboot?) :slight_smile:

11

yes 4.5.4 and 4.5.5. I did not try others. With genuine 4.4.4, no problem

12

You may have to live with it until 11.4 arrives, go back to KDE 4.4.4., or rebuild your system with newer kernels, xorg, drivers and bleeding-edge KDE. I would not recommend the latter alternative.

The problem on my notebook with KDE 4.4.4 or 4.5.4, is also in the power management area (although Hibernate works), where KDE’s management fails to manage/report a transition from mains power to/from battery power. However the underlying kernel/acpi modules work and correctly report status, and Gnome is ok. 11.3 KDE (4.4.4) uses HAL for h/w management, but Gnome doesn’t. HAL was being deprecated even before 11.3 was released (and IIRC gone from 11.4), and udev will be used instead. At some point KDE’s power management backend gets changed to support that transition from HAL. That could be affecting KDE 4.5.x bugs, given your regression, but I don’t know for sure or which version.

13

Correction to that statement re KDE power management: Transition from AC power to/from battery works for KDE 4.5.4, but that’s also with kernel-desktop 2.6.36.3-4 and higher. :wink:
