My laptop won’t wake from sleep. I hit the powerbutton and it’ll blink a few more times, turn green and the keys will light up but the screen stays black.
Running sony vaio s with windows 7 and 11.4 duelboot. I really need it to be able to suspend and wake because I’ll be taking it to college in the fall.
I tried but i can’t get it to work right. I have “AMD Radeon HD 6630M (1GB VRAM) hybrid graphics with intel wireless display” (exactly how it says it on my order form) maybe the software isn’t new enough to cover it? It said the latest version it had been sucessfully tested on was 11.3.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’m going to keep fiddling around with it and might post something in the hardware forum.
All my Laptops have onboard intel graphics and all work perfectly
My box with a nvidia card does not and never has worked, with any distro. It’s on all day anyway and off at night mostly.
Here’s my problems:
I’m very new to Linux and honestly everything on computers except word, games internet, etc. (I think problem 1 will resolve itself over time)
My computer won’t wake from suspend to ram. I’ve read the suspend to RAM page on the wiki and although its all greek to me I’m pretty sure I tried what it suggests correctly and it didn’t work. I do know my laptop gets hung up inside the BIOS (the screen won’t pop up and the capslock doesn’t register on and off) but I don’t know what BIOS is.
I’m running 11.4 64 bit with a “AMD Radeon HD 6630M (1GB VRAM) hybrid graphics with intel wireless display” (how its listed on the order form. I don’t know if that’s just the full description or a variation of the HD 6630M)
If anyone knows a solution or can point me in the right direction I’d be eternally grateful.
Hi WhatsWithGravity! Welcome to the Linux world…
I’m afraid, you’ll have to provide some more information.
1: Which Wiki page ? I have only found an outdated german page about suspend to RAM. :sarcastic:
2: What exactly does not work? Does your computer freeze completely if you enter the BIOS setup or where exactly does this happen? A freeze during BIOS setup is not a good sign.
To get an idea about what is failing, gave a look at the /var/log/pm-suspend.log file.
cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log
Post it here if you need help interpreting.
Even though it doesn’t wake, maybe its not suspending properly. You can use s2ram with various options to see if any cause proper suspend. (To get available options, type ‘s2ram -h’).
You need to be root first
su -
then one of these (get the other options with -h switch)
s2ram -f
s2ram -f --vbe_save
Does it resume from any of these (or other options) ok?

Thanks good to be here!
Here’s the site: SDB:Suspend to RAM - openSUSE. As for BIOS I really don’t know whats going on I just read on there that if when you try to wake from sleep the screen doesn’t come back on you should try pressing capslock to see if the LED light responds and it doesn’t.
and Deano, here’s the output of that file. I do need help interpreting haha. :shame:

I tried the switches and they none have worked so far…
Thanks for the help guys its really appreciated. I was really looking forward to escaping windows and this has been bumming me out.
It looks like you’re trying to hibernate (suspending to disk rather than suspending to ram) from examining your log. Is that what you intended?
Edit: Made a mistake with the log output interpretation. Will await clarification from OP.
Ya I thought the output was odd but I promise I’m trying to put it to sleep not hibernate.
Was that the right log file?
I think installing uvesafb will help you out. I followed a set of instructions for Arch Linux on the Google Code Vaio F11 Nvidia page.

Its the same log (at least for openSUSE11.3 and earlier), but with entries like this:

I ran that file 5 more times. It always comes out with hibernate. A lot of the files its checking say sleep in them tho and at the end it says s2ram… I’m so confused
I think installing uvesafb will help you out.
Whats uvesafb supposed to do?
Okay Linux just told me I needed to do some xorg updates and when I did I tried again and got this:

Edit: And caps lock now responds. I’m guessing its because of the update? Screen still blank though.
The suspend log looks better now. I note your hybrid graphics system is using the integrated graphics intel chipset. I’m not sure if this is a factor with suspend not working though. This is a power saving (lower performance) chipset, with the nvidia chipset being the more power hungry (but better graphics performance) chipset. That’s a whole new thread (dicussion) though, if you want to try switching. FWIW, here are some links about that:
Cannot access vga_switcheroo interface
Andreas Demmer » Review: Running Linux on the HP Envy 14
Anyway, your module list shows the intel (i915) driver in use:
drm_kms_helper 36694 1 i915
drm 232019 2 i915,drm_kms_helper
i2c_algo_bit 6246 1 i915
video 15929 1 i915
Now, back on topic. This might be an ACPI (power management) issue. Some hardware-specific workarounds exit. Hopefully, others can join this discussion with further advice. (I’ll keep researching in the meantime). Unfortunately, a lot comes down to the hardware concerned, and a bug report may need to be submitted.
Can you please supply exact model of your laptop? This may help others with advice.
Thats what I get for getting the newest one they have…
Its a Sony Vaio S series but its customized so I’ll just post the order form (minus software and obviously non-relevant components)
Product: US-VPCSB190X-LBOM
Component: Intel® Core™ i7-2620M processor
Component: 4GB (4GBx1) DDR3-SDRAM-1333
Component: AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M (1GB VRAM) hybrid graphics with Intel® Wireless Display technology
Component: 500GB Hard Drive (7200rpm)
Component: 13.3" VAIO Display with LED backlight (1366 x 768)
I also added a Crucial 4GB 204 - pin sodimm 512mx64 ddr3pc3 - 8500 CL7
Probably too much information but better safe than sorry right??
Thanks for the help!
Probably too much information but better safe than sorry right??
Exactly 
There are lots of threads concerning Sony Vaio laptops (different models) with suspend/resume problems. Not all workarounds will be applicable for your machine. In fact, there may not be a solution for your model yet.
What might be worth a shot, is examining threads like this Ubuntu thread, discussing possible workarounds for certain Vaio models. In particular, it is mentioned that unloading the ‘uvcvideo’ module helped some users. This can be done via a text file located in /etc/pm/config.d/ with a string
SUSPEND_MODULES="uvcvideo"
You can create the text file with root privileges (as its a system file) like this
kdesu kwrite /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules
(You could use another name if you wanted). Now try suspending. Any difference?
Reference: Pm-utils
Anyway, it can take a fair bit of experimentation to find the offending modules and/or kernel ACPI issues causing problems with suspend, so take your time to search, read, and experiment. It’s not a trivial exercise to resolve.
If you can’t find a workaround, then I would suggest submitting a bug report:
Pm-utils Arch Wiki is a good source of info too.
This is mentioned (although it may not be the cause of your issue, but again worth investigating):
Blank screen when waking from suspend
Some laptops (e.g Dell Inspiron Mini 1018) will just show a black screen with no backlight after resuming from suspend. If this happens to you, try going to the bios of the laptop and disabling Intel Speedstep if it is present.
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before but I tried booting without the nomodeset option and it works. Furthermore I started using nomodeset because of some strange window behavior which now seems to be gone even without the option. I haven’t downloaded any software since I started using that boot option so an automatic update must have fixed it.
I am curious though: I tried looking for the part you were referring to about my computer using Intel and couldn’t find it so if you don’t mind I need help interpreting again. It it still using Intel? (and is there a find command in Konsole?)

I’m assuming my troubles are over but I’ll stay watchful.
Thank you so much everyone, and especially deano!
I am curious though: I tried looking for the part you were referring to about my computer using Intel and couldn’t find it so if you don’t mind I need help interpreting again. It it still using Intel? (and is there a find command in Konsole?)
If you look at your output above, the module list shows that the i915 module (intel driver) is in use. You can get this info from this command
/sbin/lspci -nnk
Look for the line concerning your graphics chipset.
Alternatively,
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard
Using nomodeset should cause the KMS-enabled intel driver not to load, and the basic fbdev (framebuffer) driver to be used instead, so I’m not sure why the intel driver still loaded, but in any case it looks like you’ve isolated the resume issue to your graphics driver.
Initializing Graphics with KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)
With openSUSE 11.3 we switched to KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) for Intel, ATI and NVIDIA graphics, which now is our default. If you encounter problems with the KMS driver support (intel, radeon, nouveau), disable KMS by adding nomodeset to the kernel boot command line. To set this permanently, add it to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst. This option makes sure the appropriate kernel module (intel, radeon, nouveau) is loaded with modeset=0 in initrd, i.e. KMS is disabled.
In the rare cases when loading the DRM module from initrd is a general problem and unrelated to KMS, it is even possible to disable loading of the DRM module in initrd completely. For this set the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD sysconfig variable to yes via YAST, which then recreates initrd afterwards. Reboot your machine.
On Intel without KMS the Xserver falls back to the fbdev driver (the intel driver only supports KMS); alternatively, there is the “intellegacy” driver (xorg-x11-driver-video-intel-legacy package) which still supports UMS (User Mode Setting). To use it, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf and change the driver entry to intellegacy.
