S2RAM only stops network, nothing else

English Hardware
#1

Whenever I want to suspend to RAM, only the network stops and nothing else happens. I think the same thing happens when I s2disk, but I don’t use that.

I have a vaio vgn-sz430n with openSUSE 11 KDE4

Suspend has not worked in any other Linux distros I’ve tried (well, only ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, and openSUSE) and I really need help with this. I need suspend2RAM to work!!!

Please help

I could not find a more appropriate category so if Hardware is the wrong one then mods please move this thread to a better category.

Thank you.

nobody helps? awwwww

#3

this is a known issue? have you tried switching the device to switch on at hot plug?

  • redrazor39,

see if these links help:

I’m not sure what you mean by that

#6

Thanks for the links. I’ll try that once I install OS11 (if I do, considering if I get my Fn keys working. Then it’ll be for sure)

#7

sorry misread the question, thought you said after suspend to ram (i.e. turning it back on) network is off but everything else is normal, and i meant your network card. sorry for misreading…

#8

Are there any errors in your /var/log/pm-suspend.log file?

#9

This is suspend.log. I just now tried to suspend and then I copied/pasted the log file. Check it out.

From the log it looks like you are not using the “-f” (force) option to put the computer to sleep as it is not in the whitelist. Same is true for my laptop. And this is how I configure it to suspend.

Adding “-f” option to 2sram:

I put a config file (a text file) into /etc/pm/config.d/ with,

S2RAM_OPTS="-f"

and named it modules. For detail read Pm-utils and Suspend to RAM.

I have a nVidia video card so also followed NVidia Suspend HOWTO.

It worked for me. Why not give it a try.

#11

I have an Nvidia card, too, so I’ll read those.

I’ll post to tell you how that stuff works.

#12

ok now I can’t sudo kwrite because it can’t connect to X server.

This is so annoying. openSUSE can’t even connect to my network well (it used to be able to perfectly, but then I reinstalled and now it can’t).

Idk, but I’m starting to get sick of openSUSE. I might jump ship for fedora and check that out.

Well, I’ll check out some other distros and if they don’t do any better, I’ll stick with openSUSE.

#13

redrazor39, openSUSE 11.0 is working great for me. I just had to configure few things.

You can try ‘su’ and use ‘kate’. Thats what I prefer if using KDE. In KDE there is a superuser file manager. You can find it from, System > File manager. I like it as everything is graphic based.

I have also added a line in /etc/pm/config.d/modules, to restart network connection automatically after suspend mode.

SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl4965"

I have Intel 495AGN wireless card so added its driver “iwl4965”. You have to replace it with your wireless driver.

Let us know how things are going.

#14

Thanks for the help. I’m having another problem and made another thread, but I can’t seem to find any solutions. The Fn keys on my laptop don’t work. I have an AT Set 2 Translated Keyboard, according to YaST, but it is not supported by keytouch or SaX2.
