openSUSE 11.4 64-bit freezes after resuming from suspend to ram

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 64-bit on my laptop and was able to resume from sleep mode normally. I did not have internet access on my laptop until today so I decided to install all the updates after I connected to the internet. After installing updates and rebooting, I noticed that the laptop can no longer be resumed after suspending it to ram. While being suspended, hitting any key on the keyboard would cause the power indicator light to come back on, but the screen would be completely blank. I have tried various keys and still was unable to get the laptop to a usable state. The only way to resolve this appears to be a hard reboot.

Seeing as the laptop behaved normally before the updates were installed, I believe that this problem is caused by a recent update, however I installed nearly 150 updates this morning so I was not able to isolate the problem.

Has anyone else had the same experience?

I’ve got what seems to be the same problem. Suspend to ram worked until I updated yesterday. Now I just get a black-screen when I try to resume. It was working fine for almost a month, since I first installed 11.4, and I just updated 10-20 packages yesterday, so I will see if I can isolate the culprit.

I’m running Opensuse 11.4 64-bit on a Zotac Zbox Intel(R) Atom™ CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz.

If anyone has advice on where the update log resides…

/var/log/zypp/history

Or:



rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}	%{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}	%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}	%{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER}
" | sort | cut --fields="2-" | less -S

or

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME};%{INSTALLTIME:day}; \
%{BUILDTIME:day}; %{NAME};%{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE};%{arch}; \
%{VENDOR};%{PACKAGER};%{DISTRIBUTION};%{DISTTAG}
" \
| sort | cut --fields="2-" --delimiter=\; \
| tee rpmlist.csv | less -S

or

rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}	%{INSTALLTIME:day} \
%{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}	%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}	%{arch} \
%25{VENDOR}%25{PACKAGER} == %{DISTRIBUTION} %{DISTTAG}
" \
| sort | cut --fields="2-" > rpmlist

I rolled back the udisks, permissions, and alsa packages and now suspend seems to work again (tested only once). All three had recent updates. The older versions I used are listed below. I still don’t know which exactly created the problem – I don’t have time tonight to test each individually. But, hopefully this information will help someone else. Whenever someone isolates the source we should file a bug report.

Thanks Carlos for sharing the location of the zypp history file.
