Hi all
I recently installed opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4 on my x41 tablet and upgraded to KDE 4.5.2.
At first I could hibernate and sleep perfectly, but now the computer is stuck at a console state (without X running) and a blinking half-moon light.
How do I make hibernate and sleep work again? What log files should I look into?
Cheers

Activate verbose hibernation and boot first. Then see at what message it stops.

How do I do that - activate verbose hibernation? Sorry, I’m new to this stuff …

Edit “/etc/suspend.conf” (as root in a terminal). Find the line:
#splash = y
change to
splash = n
I don’t know if it is active inmediately or not. But try to hibernate and see.
Also, edit “/boot/grub/menu.lst”, find the boot entry, and change “splash=silent” with “splash=verbose”.

Thanks. Apparently it is stuck stating “s2disk: Snapshotting system” when hibernating, for more than an hour …
Which log file should I look at?
I just realized that my swap file is 1GB while I have 1.5GB of RAM. Could this be the cause of the problem?
Here’s /var/log/pm-suspend.log. Hope that helps:

That’s very bad.

If it crashes/locks at that point, none. Nothing can be written to disk at that point or beyond,
till it awakes.

It could… but it should warn, fail, and go back.
You have intel video, so I will not suggest to switch to another driver. Try something: log out of X
(kde, gnome, etc); go to a text console (ctrl-alt-f1). Log in as root, issue “init 3”, then
“pm-hibernate”.
If it works, then next time try the same without killing the graphical session: don’t log out, don’t
issue “init 3”, just go to the text console and do the pm-…
If it doesn’t work (neither) then… :-?
Try in “/etc/pm/config.d” to adjust “HIBERNATE_METHOD”. Perhaps change something in suspend.conf :-?
See that threads is set to no, compress, and encryption (all no). Mmm… compress=n is a problem in
your case, swap is small. Then do your tests with no programs loaded. Ah, you can also increase
verbosity.
There is a debugging feature you might use if you have the hardware: a serial port. The kernel can
dump messages there at times it can not dump to disk. It has to be a real serial port, a usb
converter does not work. However, I have reason to believe that the kernel will refuse to hibernate
when this feature is active - I wrote a Bugzilla about this (for 11.1).
(If something is not clear, ask: I’m multitasking, watching “law & order” on TV at the same time,
and it is getting complex 
)

Thanks. At least it’s getting interesting

“pm-hibernate”.
It didn’t work 
It’s strange. I did notice something about hci failing to resubmit or something. Something related to the Bluetooth - btusb …
The weird thing is that it was working at first. Then it stopped working, even after re-installation of the OS.
/etc/pm/config.d is a directory containing rtcwake.config, and I don’t see this option there. Where is the suspend.conf located?
I also have a permanent mount of an SD card and Bluetooth on. Could this be related?
UPDATE: I managed to hibernate using the log-off, init 3 etc method after closing all plasmoids and unmounting the SD first. It seems to work mostly fine - I lost the sound card and couldn’t hibernate from KDM afterward. The other method
works as well, when SD is unmounted. I’m experimenting more to see if the SD is the problem.
Thanks for the help!

You edited it a few posts back, it is in /etc.

Try removing it.
Ah, you did.

Well, that’s something. You could try then removing the modules using scripts in “/etc/pm/sleep.d/”.
You have samples in “/usr/share/doc/packages/pm-utils/examples/hooks”.
There are some pages in the wiki, with trick for making s2ram/s2disk work. See there. I don’t know
if there is a specialized forum or mail list for hibernation problems.
Also, knowing that some hardware is affecting hibernation, you could try with a Bugzilla, as it is a
general problem then (general for a certain combination of hardware).

I’ll try it all. Term started, so I won’t have time to meddle with it, but now I know what to do when next I’ve a couple of free days
I wonder whose responsibility is s2disk/s2ram - kernel, distribution, otherwise? Will check on the wiki. Could this be a distribution specific problem? Will have to check on another distro …

I report this issues against kernel, and let them move it if appropriate
Yes, it could be that a different distro worked, or another version of opensuse. Different kernel,
perhaps a different configuration, or who knows what different that does the trick.
Look, my laptop suspends to disk just fine in 11.2, and to ram almost fine: the touchpad mouse dies.
On 11.3 this has been solved, but there are video problems (slow). So I stay with 11.2. At least I
can choose.
