hp dv 9000 with opensuse 11.2 x86_64 does not hibernate

Hi,
I have been running 11.1 on this laptop for a year and hibernate worked great on that. I recently installed (not upgraded) 11.2. now when i try to hibernate, i get the suse hibernate screen up, the progress bar counts down some (maybe about %20) and then it seems to hang. I have to power off and start back up.
I am not sure where to look (logs etc) or what to look at, any help would be appreciated.

thanks

bump, anyone have any ideas?

I’m sure as hell no expert on the subject, but if you wan’t to check logs:
/var/log/pm-suspend.log.
Perhaps you checked already this link:
Pm-utils - openSUSE
There you should be able to find some tech info about the software that probably saves the powersuspence on your installation.
:shame:okay, that was not funny at all.

I’m having trouble myself on my PC with the hibernating function (shutting down works fine but the system crashes while starting up, so it’s definitely not the same problem as you experience) and was searching the forum.
I suspect a setting on my Nvidia graphics card (I had this issue before)
So now I’m searching for the right trick.

Good luck and keep searching. You’re probably not the first one with this problem and don’t forget to post the solution if you might find it.

ok, so, i cleared these logs out and tried to hibernate again. this is what I have…but i don’t know what it means.

pm-powersave.log

**sched policy powersave OFF
**set power mode for sound driver to 0 seconds
**wol -> enable, set flags g

  • /usr/sbin/s2disk --config /var/lib/s2disk.conf

also, i disabled the splash screen and i see that s2disk start to create the snapshot and it never comes back

I’ m very sorry that I lack the skills to help you.
Anyone, please?

It’s useful to post the specs of your hardware. You know: type and size of your hard drive, amount of memory (perhaps it’ s not sufficient to contain your suspended system?), gui (kde, gnome, etc.).
Perhaps that will encourage others to step in.

my system:

hp dv9000
128gig SSD
1gig ram
2gig swap partition
using gnome desktop

please let me know if any other info would be helpful

thanks

Well, it’ s not the amount of internal memory, that’s for sure.

Saw this post on the forum: maybe this is helpful, although it’s not the same brand of laptop:
Perfect Suspend to RAM on Gateway LT3114u Netbook - openSUSE Forums

Be sure to have a backup-plan when this somehow nukes your system when you try to suspend with this solution set. Unlikely to happen, but what’s wrong with a little risk management? With the installation DVD or live CD at hand, you can then fire up your laptop, mount your hard drive and open the changed file, and lose the alterations.
Perhaps you need not be warned, but better save then sorry;).

Good luck!

If I click on hibernate (suspend to disk only, suspend to ram is ok) no suspending happen, only lock of screen, why this??

I have been kind of frustrated because no one seems to have any insight on this. I still cannot hibernate to disk…anyone have any idea’s?

I found somethin here,

Restarting “dbus” is not really good, even it partially solving the problem.

The real final fix was to edit my .xinitrc file end replace
Code:

exec $WINDOWMANAGER

by
Code:

exec ck-launch-session $WINDOWMANAGER

did you tryed it???

if suspend to RAM is working - it’s not a powerdevil issue…
Did you check you have enough of swap space?.. (should be same or bigger amount as RAM to make hibernate working)

also you may try “powersave -U” from the command line as root user just to see if it works in general, or not at all…

Rgds,

RAM 4GB swap 8GB

I tryed powersave -U with no results, nothing happen, as user and root:
pla@linux-dvkc:~/Documenti> powersave -U
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.152 reply_serial=2
int32 1
pla@linux-dvkc:~/Documenti> su
Password:
linux-dvkc:/home/pla/Documenti # powersave -U
method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.177 reply_serial=2
int32 1
linux-dvkc:/home/pla/Documenti #

Really strange… - while suspend to RAM very often model-specific, the hibernate feature now days should work out of the box.

May you try also to execute “pm-hibernate” as root user?..

If it doesn’t work either - what is your graphic card? - I’ve got several issues with nVidia on my old Toshiba before (and seems the original post about “hp dv 9000” has a similar problem - and the solution was described here: NVidia Suspend HOWTO - openSUSE )

then you may try this howto: Suspend to disk - openSUSE and if still nothing works, probably boot with vesa/failsafe and enter into debugging…

Rgds,

Yes I remember that when I was on kde3.5 it worked well, but I don’t use it frequently cause I prefer suspend on ram and I realized now.

Tryed but don’t work, no error messages only execute the command, some reaction by network switched down but no suspend occurred.

I have nvidia 8600gt, I will try that threads.
Thanks.
