Hibernation doesn't do anything but just lock screen

islandape · March 4, 2012, 1:01pm

Hi, I posted a thread about a month ago complaining about boot being really slow and the computer just refusing to hibernate.

Well, I assumed that with the hibernate menu option back in the Kickoff then hibernating would be OK. Until today I haven’t actually hibernated the computer yet, so I tried and all I got to is the lock screen.

Typing in s2disk in the terminal comes up with this:


s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory

fdisk output (if this is helpful):


Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors

Verify that you have a swap partition, that it is properly listed in fstab,
and in the kernel boot entry “resume=” (grub).

Also verify that the partition of type swap is really a swap partition.

Noticed and fixed problem, thanks!

The resume flag directed s2disk to part6 (which doesn’t exist anymore). I’ve changed it to part5.

Hi
After installing OpenSuse 13.1 hibernate (suspend to disk) is failing.
The process nevers ends and I have to reboot and shutdown.

I’ve checked that the swap partition specified in grub is correct, in my case /dev/sdb4, which is a swap partition.
Optioanl kernel command line parameter
resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE05JVL-part4

I set “splash = n” in /etc/suspend.conf in order to get some insight to what is happening
It seems to prepare the snapshot but fails to write it to disk.
This is what I see on the screen:

Read_error on swap-device
Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK

But I don’t know how to interpret this.
Any help welcome.

BR and happy new 2014, Eduardo

Run the long test via smartctl on that disk.

Hi

This is a 64 bit system.

Linux linux-b6v0 3.11.6-4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 30 18:04:56 UTC 2013 (e6d4a27) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Carlos, what do you mean with “Run the long test via smartctl on that disk.” ?
I executed the pm-hibernate command but I don’t know how to log the output and attach it here.
Is that what you are referring to ?

R/ Eduardo

gogalthorp · January 2, 2014, 7:33pm

no the smartctrl command

man smartctrl to get manual

I suspect hardware problem with your hard disk. There is a technology included with all hard disks
to self-verify them while on use, called SMART.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

There is a program in Linux to read the SMART log and initiate tests. I suggest you run first the
short test, read the log, then initiate the long test, then read the log.


smartctl --help

There is also a GUI in gnome that can do some of this, but I don’t remember the name at the moment.
Palimpsest perhaps. Yes, that’s the name, but I can’t find the package name. Ok, yes, it is
“gnome-disk-utility”.

I’m running the long test right now.
Need about 90 mins.

ehjhsuse · January 2, 2014, 7:52pm

smartctl --test=long /dev/sdb

It’s running, need about 80 mins.
I’ll post result in a while.

Just a comment - next time please put that computer text inside a code block. You get them clicking
on the ‘#’ on the forum editor.

I’ll try to recompose your post.

Well, the disk appears healthy, that was not the problem. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to run the
long test now and then.

The parameters I was interested are #5, 197 and 198, mainly.

Well, what I would do now is recreate that swap partition (re-format with mkswap), and verify that
the entries in fstab and kernel boot line are correct.

Thanks Carlos

I already did as you propose.

Here is my fstab

> cat /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE0CPYP-part1 /                    ext4       acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE05JVL-part1 /backup              reiserfs   defaults              1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE0CPYP-part3 /home                reiserfs   defaults              1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE05JVL-part4 swap                 swap       defaults              0 0

and this is the content of the Boot Loader Options > Optional Kernel Command LineParameter

resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3250820AS_5QE05JVL-part4 splash=silent quiet showopts

By the way, when I open the Boot Loader it takes a very long time to Initialize.

Just a thought…

I have seen the same symptoms in the past caused by bad RAM.

Check it, in case.

ehjhsuse · January 3, 2014, 11:56pm

Thanks for the tip.
Any idea how to test the RAM from console ?

I think it can also be tested with the installation CD.

Fraser_Bell · January 4, 2014, 12:42am

Yes, Memtest+ is on the install CD.

ehjhsuse · January 4, 2014, 1:16am

I’ve run memtest for a while, until test #8 and there are no errors.

No memtest run is complete until it has done a complete pass, and some error
conditions may require several passes. I always run the test for at least 12
hours, and prefer 24.
