Suspend from disk fails

English Applications
#1

I’ve got a situation wherein the box upon resuming from suspend to disk fails to properly resume and leaves me looking at a stalled system requiring a power off to return to normal. I see the normal decompressing of the image notification and shortly thereafter a very quick display of the desktop image with a dark screen following that, then the display of another notification that passes too quickly for me to understand what has happened. I am hoping there may be a log of some sort that will have captured this information which I might post for analysis.

I am on 13.1 with KDE desktop. Any suggestions? Thanks!

#2

Also tell use the video card and driver you use.

#3

AGP 8X GeForce EVGA 6200 4X 8X 256 MB Video Graphic Card VGA
With the attendant OpenSUSE NVidia drivers from its repository.

32 or 64 bits?

32-bit

BTW, thanks for the hand holding!

#6

Typically a useful log to review is in** /var/log/pm-suspend.log**.

Don’t suspend 13.1 - 32 bits, it is broken.

Choices:

  • downgrade to 12.3
  • do not suspend, ever.
  • Upgrade kernel to ??? don’t remember what version.

Aha! At one time I think it was working with my Matrox Marvel G550 video adapter and mga drivers but now that I’ve upgraded, I’m seeing this suspend flakiness. Thanks for the heads up. My box is pretty loud and I was trying to accommodate the wife. C’est la vie.

#10

You could try with the 3.11.10 kernel (the last one in the 3.11 series) from here:
Index of /repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-13.1/standard
With this kernel even your nvidia driver should continue to work, if you installed it from the repo. (this won’t work if you install 3.12 f.e.)

I guess this one will be released as online update for 13.1 sooner or later… (although there is a discussion going on to switch to the 3.12 kernel even for 13.1)

#11

Well, that was torturous. My wireless connection is stalled with configuring interface and then a not connected. And, the desktop is back to the large fonts/icons and I’m communicating from another machine. I could try to re-enable the wired connection but I thought I’d post this in the meantime. Maybe if I revert to the original kernel that I had beforehand, then I will be back in business. Thanks again for your help!

#12

Did you install the same flavor of the kernel as you had before? (i.e. kernel-desktop, or kernel-default)

Maybe if I revert to the original kernel that I had beforehand, then I will be back in business.

Yes.
The old kernel should still be in the boot menu, under “Advanced Options”.

But did you try at least whether resume works with the newer kernel?

#13

Yes, the same kernel-desktop and it’s working fine. I removed the newest kernel and have recovered just fine. But, I was too chicken to try the resume function because I was afeared my system configuration may have become fouled and I wanted only to get back to where I was. I’ll take a Clonezilla backup and try again shortly and let you know what I find. I just won’t suspend the box and leave it on as previously mentioned.

That one should work. The issue is supposed to be solved on 3.11.8.

In short epoll() and select() may do stupid things after resume.

Sorry but your last post was over my head. I reviewed the links and see that the problem is indeed the one that I am having but I didn’t know if those “commit” or “parent” hot links were for the kernel or what. If you would be so kind as to educate me on these issues (and which of the two references you listed I might use, or try them both?) then I would be grateful. All when you are able though. Thanks!

#16

USER ERROR!!

I chose the wrong kernel. I’m up and running with the new drop and am trying the suspend function after this post. BRB

It was not my intention that you try those patches yourself. It is also too much for me. It is just
for reference.

As I said, the solutions are:

  • wait for an official upgrade that solves this (may take months). Certainly nothing is going to
    be done during the holidays.
  • downgrade to 12.3
  • try to upgrade to a more or less experimental kernel
  • never suspend/hibernate the machine.

Suspend to RAM seems to work OK but suspend to disk is still problematic. Creates the same situation that the 13.1 distro “dekstop” kernel did. Requires a power off cycling to return to the opsys correctly.

But as an aside, I can tell those NVidia drivers are active, the way the screen flashes. I actually think the upgraded video adapter was a success for this slow, old box. :slight_smile:
