SOLVE strange problem with suspend and resume with gnome-power-manager

I have pm-utils and gnome installed.
Suspending and hibernation works well from the command line ($ pm-hibernate and $ pm-suspend). Resuming works without any problems.
Suspending from gnome "Shutdown dialog" works perfectly as well.
However, if suspending is initiated by gnome-power-manager something strange happens: After pressing the power button resuming switches to hibernation and my laptop turns off. Resuming from disk works fine again.
Now, suspending works fine again if I change and save any config file in /etc/pm/.
Here comes the strange thing: It doesn't really matter what I change as long as I save it.
However, as soon as I reboot resuming fails again the way I described above.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
I get no error messages and I've tried all sorts of boot entries.

After some try and error my guess is that "HAL" is responsible for this problem:
I deinstalled ACPID and 'pm-utils' and switched to 'uswsusp'.
I made the appropriate changes to the appropriate hal-scrips
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2ram --force
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2disk
After these changes I still have the same problem: immidiatly after resuming form suspend (via power-button) my laptop hibernates (s2disk).
However, if I delete all entries in "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" resuming from suspend works fine again, but hibernate doesn't of course. So, some script must be calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" emmediatly after resuming from suspend.
A couple of weeks ago everything worked fine. My guess is that one of the recent hal-updates is causing this.
How can I figure what script is calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" after resuming from suspend?

Pm-suspend quirks works - not gnome power manager

I installed Arch on my Thinkpad R61 once before, but the suspend 2 ram stuff didn't work. Well, I installed again with the goal of figuring it out, and I did. If I add the line
DISPLAY_QUIRK_S3_BIOS="true"
to /etc/pm/config.d/config
Then type sudo pm-suspend in the console and my computer gracefully goes to sleep and wakes up exactly how it should. However if I try to make my computer sleep through any other method, such as closing the lid or pressing the sleep button (Fn+F4) or using the gnome power icon, I just get the screen saver login window and when I return to the main desktop I see "Sleep Problem' popup from the gnome power icon. I'm wondering if there is another file I need to configure to make it all work. I'm really close and this is the last issue I have to solve to have a perfectly working arch install on my laptop, which would make me happy!

same problem here..
Acer 5920G T7300, Nvidia 8600GT, Intel 3945abg wifi card..running standard 2.6.25-ARCH from testing
if I call "sudo pm-suspend" from the console, it works without problems
if I try to suspend from the gnome-power-manager icon, it get me to the screen saver, and the "Sleep Problem" message popups.
I have only installed pm-utils, and made the "resume=/path/to/swap" modify in grub's menu.lst .. no other configs or modifications made by me..
edit I've just tried hibernate (sudo pm-hibernate) and it works fine too.. obviously it doesn't work by the gnome-power-manager icon.

[Solved] Strange Problem swapping Esc and Caps lock in X

Hi
i use xmodmap to swap esc and caps lock. my .xmodmaprc:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 9 = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Escape dead_diaeresis
add Lock = Caps_Lock
As login manager i use slim and everthing works as expected as long as i don't activate slim's autologin option. In this case pressing caps lock executes caps lock and esc. The same happens if i start X from the console via startx. I have no clue why this happens. Anyone got an idea whats the problem?
More, maybe relevant info: i use dwm as window manager and xmodmap is executed in .xinitrc.

I find that many of these types of common key switches are supported by xorg.conf.d configurations. For example, I use my caps lock as a secondary "windows key" since that is the mod key for my i3 setup. So I have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
% cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
<snip>
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbOptions" "caps:super"
EndSection
<snip>
I found the option you need. It is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst, and it is "caps:swapescape". In my mind, this is the more "correct" way of doing it, as it is done during the initalization of X rather than as an after thought.
I hope this helps!

Suspend and resume only works with fallback image

I get a black screen on suspend and resume with pm-utils after I boot with main kernel image.
However, fallback image works fine.
I'd like to figure out what's missing in the main kernel image.
lsmod looks the same with both images.
How should I proceed?

you are my hero...before I read this post I could never resume my laptop running Arch no matter what quirks I tried. That's actually why I've been running Fedora - resume worked. In fact, resume works on every other distro I've tried.
As far as an ACPI update being to blame, I've had problems resuming in Arch for over a year, although I can't go back in time to try the fallback and see if it works
When I get some spare time, I'll copy the mkinitcpio config for fallback to the main config and start removing modules / hooks to see which one breaks it
EDIT: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26.fallback no longer exists - it just uses autodetect. Also, the loaded modules are the same no matter which image was used to boot, so I'm stumped. Maybe somebody who knows more about that mkinitcpio does can shed some light

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series
Pixma
3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Java Thread suspend and resume problem

Hi,
I am trying to write a program to implement thread suspend and resume using wait() and notify without using the deprecated methods like resume and suspend.
I have written the following program which compiles but when I run it hangs without terminating. There seems to be some logic error but I am not able to catch it.
Please help
public class TestSuspendResume {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyThread m1= new MyThread("--One-- ");
    MyThread m2= new MyThread("--Two-- ");
    m1.suspendMe();
    try {
      Thread.sleep(1500);
      m1.t.join();
      m2.t.join();
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    m1.resumeMe();
    System.out.println("Now : end main thread");
class MyThread implements Runnable {
boolean suspend = false;
Thread t;
MyThread(String name) {
    t = new Thread(this,name);
    t.start();
void resumeMe() {
    suspend = false;
    notify();
void suspendMe() {
    suspend = true;
public void run() {
    try {
      for(int i=0;i<20;i++) {
        System.out.println("Now : "+Thread.currentThread().getName()+i);
        Thread.sleep(200);
        synchronized(this) {
          while(suspend)
            wait();
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks for that response. I figured out that was the problem in the logic. I have modified the code to make it simpler but it is still hanging.
public class TestSuspendResume {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyThread m1= new MyThread("--One-- ");
    try {
      m1.suspendMe();
      Thread.sleep(1000);
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    try {
      m1.resumeMe();
    } catch(Exception e) {
      System.out.println("ASASAS");
      e.printStackTrace();
    try {
      m1.t.join();
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      System.out.println("WOWOW");
      e.printStackTrace();
    System.out.println("Now : end main thread");
class MyThread implements Runnable {
boolean suspend = false;
Thread t;
MyThread(String name) {
    t = new Thread(this,name);
    t.start();
void resumeMe() {
    if(suspend==true) {
      suspend = false;
      notify();
void suspendMe() {
    suspend = true;
public void run() {
    try {
      for(int i=0;i<20;i++) {
        System.out.println("Now : "+Thread.currentThread().getName()+i);
        Thread.sleep(200);
        synchronized(this) {
          while(suspend)
            wait();
    } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      System.out.println("-- E In run method -- "+e.getMessage());

Bit locker encryption requests key unless I suspend and resume the encryption

I am rolling out new computers with Windows 7 Enterprise OS on them. I am installing bit locker encryption on them. For some reason with this group of computers, and I recently rolled out a different batch of computers without this problem,
after encrypting, I must suspend and resume bit locker or upon restart of shutdown and start the user is prompted for the bit locker encryption key.

Hi,
Could you please tell some more details about the issue? What do you want to achieve here? To enable bitlocker without the prompt of the startup key? If it is , then please take a check if we have Require
additional authentication at startup policy enabled.
Besides, could you please have a share for how do you enable bitlocker?
And here is a guide for bitlocker in Windows 7, just for reference:

Hope this may help

Halt/Reboot fails if triggered after Suspend and Resume

I'm using arch linux with gnome-shell and pm-utils. Halt/Reboot works alright normally, but when the sytem suspends and resumes, and then is halted/rebooted, the same fails.
The screen shows an indication (message on console) that it's halting/rebooting, but it gets stuck there. There aren't any indication of failures/errors.
Is there someone else facing the same problem? The cause? I'll be happy to give any relavant information required for this matter, in the form of system information or any logs,
but at this point i'm not sure what would be relavant.

Sorry this seems to be an existing issue in the forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113985
Will update if any of the suggestion in the above mentioned thread fixes the problem.

Suspend and resume

hi
can anybody tell me why suspend and resume methods have been deprecated in java 1.5. Can you explain with an exmaple
thanks

They were deprecated long before that. If you read their docs, there's a link that explains why.

Suspend and resume of WD ABAP applicaiton support in the Portal

Hello,
I am implementing Suspend and resume feature in WD ABAP. It works fine in NWBC and also in stand alone. But in the portal it does not seem to work. I have done the following.
1. Created a resume pulg (The applicaiton is suspended as I can see the state to suspend in the WDDOSTATECHANGED method.
2. The navigation in the portal is in place and WD applicaiton is replaced by my target BSP
3. I am NOT firing any plugs so there is no problem here
Now what is not happening is the following.
1. The sap-wd-resumeurl is not part of the url parameters so I am not sure when the WD applicaiton is suspended this parameter is really sent or not?
2. Since I do not have the resume URL when I press the back in the portal window (right hand side top of the page) the resume plug is getting fired. But the parameters that I have set in the BSP are not part of the url parameters in the resume plug
3. If I explicitly pass the sap-wd-resumeurl as a url paramter to the BSP (hard code the resume URL since I know the PCD path of my WD iview) and then use this URL to naivagate from the BSP then the WD applicaiton is started but the resume plug is not fired. In SM04 I can see a new session created now.
4. Step 4 works fine (the suspend and resume) works fine when I repeat it the second time.
A quick help will be really appriciated. I am on SP14 of NW 7.0
Thanks and best regards,
Harish.

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flashplayer. With the Reader, I was able to find a different install

Why is it that when I am trying to install an adobe product, I get 33% of the way through and then it gives me an error "unable to load metafile"?? It happened with Reader and now with Flash player. With the Reader, I was able to find a different installation link using the troubleshooting guide. I cannot find the same with flash player. Please tell me how to install Flash player because there is a website that I cannot even view without it. BTW That is annoying that I cannot even see the website without flash player
my system is XP

Use these installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
thank you!

Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Express
Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name. 2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.
