I haven’t seen any posts about sleep/hibernate problems in this forum so it may be peculiar to my machine. Sleep/hibernate worked on this laptop in 11.2 and 11.3 but are not working in 11.4M1 even with updated kernel from kernel-head repo.
All the buttons under the Start > Leave work except sleep & hibernate (shutdown, restart, etc.). When I click on either of those buttons nothing happens, no messages, no pop-ups, no bouncing cursor, nothing. Further, closing the lid on the laptop doesn’t put it insleep or hibernate mode. I initially had problem with the install from DVD build 0715 but that was a problem with the window manager failing to load. That problem was cleared up by upgrading the kernel and Xorg files.
This is not a serious problem for me as I never run on battery (disabled, never leave home with the laptop). It’s always plugged into mains power. I’d just like to put it in sleep mode instead shutting down and then restarting two or three times per day.
Hardware:
Dell Studio 1745
4 GB RAM
Intel mobile GM45 express chipset video
500 GB hard drive
Intel core2 duo T6600 cpu
Linux laptop 2.6.36-rc3-10-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-09-03 18:57:13 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Well 11.4 Release version IBM T60.
Clean install on clean disk.
Hibernate does not work on this release, it did on 11.2 & 3 out of the box but 11.4. Suspend does work fine even from the Function Buttons which it did’nt on 11.2.
Actually it starts to go into hibernation shuts down all the Network stuff but then immediately starts coming up again.

this is the prerelease-beta software forum and is therefore the wrong
forum for this post (because 11.4 has been released)…
suggest you use the forum’s advanced search function to track down
11.4 hibernate threads already piling up in install-boot-login, or
maybe other locations…and see if you find a potential work around
while the bug is being repaired…
i doubt you will find an exact match to your hardware (but a lot of
these problems are hardware specific), but it seems there are several
different hardware sets with problems using this newer kernel…
probably LOTs of bugs already submitted, maybe a look there and you
will find their status and maybe a workaround for your hardware…
by the way, you can lessen the likelihood of having these kinds of
problems in future releases by TESTING the milestones and release
candidates as they flow…a bug you log during the development phase
could directly contribute to your smile on the next public release day…
think of it as your way of ‘paying’ for the free software, and helping
yourself in the process!!
