[Solved] Suspend to RAM problems with HP dv7 laptop

Hello,
I have an HP dv7-6000 notebook that I can't get suspend to RAM working on. When I tell Linux to suspend, the screen turns off, I hear the hard disk turn off, but all the lights stay on (power, wireless, and touchpad). After a couple minutes the BIOS kicks in and runs the fans at maximum speed. The only way to get out of this situation is to hold down the power button for a hard shutdown.
It's almost as if the suspend was successful, but "incomplete," because the system for whatever reason is stuck powered on.
I have updated the BIOS and there is no difference. I have also tried different acpi_os_name values based on my DSDT table ("Windows 2001," "Windows 2009," etc.).
Both pm-utils log files (pm-powersave.log and pm-suspend.log) are blank. I have also tried uswsusp, and the same thing happens. I have not tried hibernate yet because I don't have a swap partition.
Some additional hardware information:

+1, I'm having the same issue with both "pm-suspend" and "sytemctl suspend", not always but happening 1 out of 5 times maybe, this started happening since the 3.10* upgrade, currently running 3.10.5-1 on my modest compaq.

[SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

Hi.
I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … 13-2/page2
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913105
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … S-13-1-x64
Bug 91921 - WD 2TB Caviar black causes hard lock on resume S2RAM
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91921
In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
this command above returns all the time:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
I tried this:
sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

LG R510 - Suspend-to-RAM problem

Hi, I'm having trouble using the suspend-to-ram feature on my LG R510 laptop. I tried suspending the machine using the suspend feature integrated in KDE-4.2 as well as using the command-line tools s2ram and pm-suspend. The machine behaves exactly the same in all cases:
The system (apparently) suspends without errors. It also correctly restores to it's former state upon wakeup. Even the X-Server starts and seems to work fine.
However, the hard-drive can no longer be accessed after wakeup, leaving you with a "dead" system.
If you try running a command from a shell it will trigger either "command not found" or "input/output error" messages. For that reason I'm unable to gather any diagnostic information from the continued system. Since the hard-drive cannot be accessed, no logs get written after wakeup either.
The hard-drive does spin up when the system wakes up (I can clearly hear it). There is probably some problem with the hard-drive controller. However, I wasn't able to find any specific information about Intel ICH9 chipsets and suspend-to-RAM yet.
I will post some details about the system. Please feel free to ask for additional information.

It seems this is a BIOS bug of the LG R510. There is a workaround: You have to set your hard drive to IDE mode.
To do this, open the BIOS setup utility by pressing F2 during startup. Look for the "HDC configure as" option and switch it from AHCI to IDE.
Note that this might reduce disk performance. So far, I haven't noticed any difference after switching to IDE. Suspend-to-RAM works like a charm now.
By the way, a similar problem occurs on HP notebooks where it can be fixed through a BIOS update. Unfortunately there is no update available for the LG R510 yet.

[Solved] Suspend to ram doesn't work correctly on Acer Aspire 5100

Hi people of the archlinux forum.
Finally I decided to change from ubuntu to archlinux because I wanted to learn more about the world of linux.:D
I have already almost completely set up my laptop, but I have a problem when suspending to ram. The problem comes out when i wake up the laptop, and the screen starts to flicker and will not go away until i restart the laptop.
This is my laptop after the suspend:
I'm using pm-utils to suspend and hibernate my laptop, and the hibernate works fine. All settings were made following the arch wiki.

I have the same problem with my Acer Aspire 5100 (video ATI Xpress1100).
xorg.conf is not used. Turning KMS off doesn`t help.
I have tried to use uswsusp, but it doesn`t help. s2ram -n output correctly identify my laptop, which means it is in "whitelist" and correct settings for this hardware is known. s2ram suspend works, but screen blinking after waking up remains the same.
[Sydorenko@SLE ~]$ sudo s2ram -n
Machine matched entry 17:
sys_vendor = 'Acer *'
sys_product = 'Aspire 5100 *'
sys_version = ''
bios_version = ''
Fixes: 0x3 S3_BIOS S3_MODE
This machine can be identified by:
sys_vendor = "Acer "
sys_product = "Aspire 5100 "
sys_version = "V3.10A"
bios_version = "V3.10A"
See http://suspend.sf.net/s2ram-support.html for details.

[SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

Hi all,
this puzzles me for a while:
My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Switch USB buses off
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
done
resume|thaw)
# Switch USB buses back on
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
esac
The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

[Solved] Suspend to RAM not working.

I just installed Arch on an old box with an MSI K8T Neo motherboard and I can't get suspend to RAM working. On the BIOS I have two ACPI modes: S1/POS and S3/STR. If I set it to S1 it does suspend but the hardware is not actually shut off (the fans, LEDs, and monitor backlight says on). With the S3 setting it does a complete shutdown so when I turn it back on it fresh boots instead of resuming. Suspend to both effectively hibernates when the BIOS setting is S3, with S1 it behaves just as suspend to disk. I've tried using systemd, pm-utils, and writing to /sys/power/state directly. All the same.
Just until last night I had Windows XP x64 installed and suspend was working just fine. I mostly use it as a file and printer server but I don't want it running all the time so I use Wake-on-Lan so it wakes up on demand and I'll be using a cron script (or whatever is called on systemd) to put it back to sleep after a while.
Any suggestions?

Flashing the bios fixed the problem. I didn't do it before because the readme that comes with the bios firmware said it was the version I had but it's actually 5 major versions newer.

New RAM problems with my Dual G4 1.25 MDD

Howdy I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 years and love it. I got it with 1GB RAM, thinking I was set. For Christmas I wanted to Upgrade the RAM to 2GB. from My PowerMac G4 Manual I knew I needed 2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's.
I went to DealRam (part of DealMac) and found 18004memory.com The price seemed great $39 per stick. I ordered it and within a week got 2x 512MB DIMM's. Problem was it was the Wrong RAM spec. I tried that RAM in my Mac 30 different ways and Everytime the computer either wouldn't boot, or it would suffer Kernel Protection Faults. One time it did boot up but the RAM only recognized as 2x 256MB DIMM's. I called the company, got an RMA and returned the RAM, this time they sent me 2 replacement DIMM's.... for a POWERBOOK, SO-DIMM's. I returned it again and finally Got from them the
2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's. They call it Hyperspeed RAM. Anywho, I powered down let the system cool over night and in the morning, popped it open, put the RAM in the 2 open slots DIMM2/J23 & DIMM3/J20. closed it back up and powered up. Everything was snappier, the boot was quicker and I checked About this Mac, it says 2GB. Apple System Profiler showed all 4 DIMM's and I thought everything was fine.
Computer ran great for hours, no issues. Everything seemed quicker. Computer went to sleep overnight, next day woke from sleep and Tried to use iTunes and during an extensive sort for Songs, the system Locked up. Nothing would work. Had to force restart. this time I tried to Run my favorite online Game, WoW and after it loaded and I started to play, within 5 mins the whole game locked up. The audio sound went into a sort of Loop, I couldnt force quit and had to force reboot. This happened several times. I finally decided to Run the Apple Hardware Test. The Quick test locked up after running 2mins. I let it sit for 1hr just in case it was still doing something and the progress bar and time never progressed. So i forced reboot, ran Test again this time as Extended test. at 8 min & 31 sec the test stopped and I got an Error Code, this time I wrote it down "2MEM/2/4: DIMM3/J20."
I guess that DIMM failed. I shutdown, popped open case, and removed DIMM3/J20 leaving the Original 1GB RAM and One of the 512MB Upgrades. I rstarted the Test again and Ran the Extended Test once more. It ran for 27mins & 24 secs and everything passed. So. 1.5GB is better than just 1GB. I powered down and powered back up to try and play WoW. Within 5 mins of loading game to play, everything locked up again.
So I took both of the new RAM out and left the Original 1GB RAM and ran Test everything was great no Errors. Rebooted, and went onto WoW again and was able to play for several hours. I quit game and shut down for night.
I have since Tried the 2x 512MB DIMM's in over 10 different variations in the computer with and without the original RAM and everytime I run a high end program or game (WoW, iTunes, and Photoshop), I get lock ups, crashes, and other screen weirdness.
I dont want to have to Return the Memory again. I am already out over $15 from s/h with RMA's.
PLEASE Any ideas what to do?
1 thing I noticed the RAM gets very very hot, when I've powered down tand removed the new RAM. I wonder if there is a cooling issue?
Anytime I put the Original 1GB RAM in, I dont have problems!

Hi lz3broc,
Sounds very much like faulty RAM to me, I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the temperature it's running at, but if the surrounding DIMMs aren't having a problem then I would definitely point the finger at those new memory sticks not being up to scratch.
If you were convinced it was temperature related then you could always try putting heat spreaders on the memory to help with cooling, but as these stick (semi-permanently) to the RAM then you would never be able to return them.
My personal opinion is that you should send the RAM back and buy two new DIMMs from Crucial Technology. I only ever buy RAM made by them and I've never had a problem with it - it's the same stuff Apple themselves generally use and works a charm every time. Probably not the news you wanted to hear, but that's probably the only way you're going to get a stable machine with 2GB RAM.
Hope that helps,
Andy.

[Solved] Suspend to RAM no longer works

Suspend to RAM when closing my laptop lid worked out the box for me since I put Arch on my Dell XPS 14. After doing a pacman -Su yesterday (where I noticed that the kernel was updated, but it might be something else) it no longer works. Running 'systemctl suspend' in the terminal does work. Do I have to update a config?
Last edited by skip (2014-04-01 19:48:23)

For anyone else that finds this, systemd 212 doesn't suspend with lid closed with or without external monitor for those using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Nvidia doesn't provide the necessary information for systemd to know whether or not an external monitor is connected, and thus it plays it safe and doesn't suspend. This is explained nicely at the Freedesktop bug linked above, but I wanted to pass it along here for those that won't follow the link.
Sounds like they're leaning toward reversing the preference (dock/external display users will need to opt out of suspending with lid close) in future versions since non-dock/monitor users >> dock/monitor users.

[solved] Suspend to RAM and later to disk

Hello,
I am a new laptop owner (and new Archlinux user).
On its original operating system, my laptop has a feature which basically does:
1- suspend to RAM
2- after 1 hour in this suspend mode, it wakes up briefly and suspend to disk
I found many wiki pages about suspending either to disk or to RAM or even both, like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … _Hibernate and that works fine with my laptop.
But none gave me a solution with this kind of behavior.
Note that this is different from "hybrid-sleep" which suspend to RAM and disk at the same time and use disk save in case the battery if emptied.
I see many benefits from what I look for:
- very fast suspend (on lid close for instance);
- if I re-open the lid within the hour, very quick restore;
- if I let the laptop as it is, I know it will automatically suspend to disk and thus I do not worry about battery usage;
- compared to hybrid-sleep, if I forget my laptop in sleep mode, the battery state will be about the same as when I stopped working, whereas hybrid-sleep needs a recharge.
So, do you know if it is possible to suspend to RAM and later to disk on Archlinux?
Any pointers on how to do so?
Thanks!

Hello,
Here is my solution for a Archlinux / systemd "suspend sedation" based on http://askubuntu.com/questions/12383/ho … -hibernate
The following script is a Systemd sleep hook. It uses a RTC wake up event (rtcwake) to get out of suspend state and go to hibernate state. If the system leaves suspend state before the RTC event, the RTC wake is cancelled.
Save the following code in /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/suspend-sedation.sh, and make it executable.
#!/bin/bash
# Purpose: Auto hibernates after a period of sleep
# Edit the "autohibernate" variable below to set the number of seconds to sleep.
lockfile=/var/run/systemd/rtchibernate.lock
curtime=$(date +%s)
# 30 min
autohibernate=1800
case $1/$2 in
pre/suspend)
# Suspending. Record current time, and set a wake up timer.
echo "Suspending until" `date -d "$autohibernate seconds"`
echo "$curtime" > $lockfile
rtcwake -m no -s $autohibernate
post/suspend)
# Coming out of sleep
sustime=$(cat $lockfile)
echo -n "Back from suspend... "
rm $lockfile
# Did we wake up due to the rtc timer above?
if [ $(($curtime - $sustime)) -ge $autohibernate ]
then
# Then hibernate
echo "hibernate"
/usr/bin/systemctl hibernate
else
echo "wake-up"
# Otherwise cancel the rtc timer and wake up normally.
rtcwake -m disable
fi
esac
This script outputs some log you can view using
journalctl -b -u systemd-suspend
Any improvements welcome!

RAM and Virtual RAM Problems with Fireworks

I'm working on a Fireworks file with 25 pages and some heavy graphics. However, I've turned some of the heavy objects into symbols which are repeated from page to page.
The file is 17 Mb and my Virtual Memory bumps to 3.4 Gigs when I open this file and things are slow and often crash. I'm working on a Mac with CS4 and have 4 Gigs of RAM. The actual ram is 2.27 GB. Seems like a crap ton of Ram? Plus it's running slow and crashes regularly.
Please advise if there are settings I can change to improve the performance.

I have this same problem.
We design websites like shops and stuff. We'll need to work out all the pages and show them to our clients.
I have just finished a site with 45 pages. I have to cut this up in 3 different files. Highly annoying. And working on a windows system to so you get my irritations.
I get the feeling that this is a result of the buggy-ness in Fireworks. The contact with the Adobe help-team is dramatic. I don't understand that you sell a product this expensive and not give a good service afterwhile.
I must say that i don't have any problems with the other programs. Only Fireworks. The rest is very good (to end with someting nice)

[SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

Since upgrading the packages below I mouseclicks occasionally do not work. Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
<edit>
It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

welcome to macbook forum.
try this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=17228
and open your system preference / keyboard and mouse / trackpad tab / and changed the preference (double clicking speed, etc) as you like and try it.
Good Luck.

[solved]partially working network, problems with ssl and irc

Hi,
for a weird reason I can't access any websites with https anymore nor can i connect to any irc servers with irssi and connection attempts with ssh time out. The system is up2date and I am using kdemod as DE.

Earlier I had some problems with not resolving addresses, which I somehow got rid of. At the time I blamed my isp.
Perhaps something broke when I had a program running in wine to play with a car too and I had to switch the laptop off bc it didn't want to react anymore.
thx for reading
e: I don't know why, but it worked when I started Arch this morning.. while it didn't yesterday although everything worked correctly on my other PCs.

Suspend to ram works with powersave daemon but resumes on lid open

Is there any way to modify this behavior? I have a T60 and utilizing the powersave daemon my suspend to ram works fine, but I can't find a way to stop it from resuming when I open the lid of my laptop. I am using the stock 2.6.19 kernel.

yea just strange because in XP this behavior doesn't occur, so I figured it wasn't bios related (newb assumption?) i'll look into the above assumptions.
it doesn't bother me all that much, it probably truly only interferes once in a while, but i guess it is a control issue. after all, if you dont have control under linux, then where else would you? haha. especially if winxp is getting the job done. heh
Thanks everyone for hte suggestions.

New Ram problems with my iMac G5 20' w/iSight

I purchased a 2 gig stick from (4-all-memory) web sight, got it the other day and installed it. I had removed 512MB stick from that one slot and added the new, it ran smooth for 24 hrs just fine, Then yesterday as I was downloading a couple-a shows from iTunes,(my Mac) it frooze up, had the sound that my Hard drive was making sounded like it was taking a ruff trip up a dirt road, makin all kindsa noise. I pulled the plug as that was the only thing that seemed to work to shut down. I tried to start up after a few, took several minutes to warm, then the noise, no screen etc. I then let the sucker cool down, tried again, same crap. I reversed my up-grade back to my 512MB stick and got everything to work kinda like before. My"About this Mac" button dose a restart kinda thing now when ever I try to see "About this Mac"? It shuts down everything few a second, then all comes back on as if just restarted, but never tells me 'about this mac'?
Any coments on what to do, ersuggestions. I would like to try the 2Gig stick again, but I am fearful that my iMac might just throw a fit, like me Ex?
Thanks

Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your computer when troubleshooting.
If you have not already done so:
Check the RAM install instructions in the manual that came w/your computer to make sure you installed the RAM correctly.
Boot from your Hardware Test DVD to confirm problem.
If you have Techtool PRO or Deluxe (make sure both are compatible w/your latest OS System) boot from same.
If a RAM problem shows up on any of the above, then you should return the RAM to the manufacturer. Hopefully, the RAM you purchased has a lifetime quaranty.
