T41 won't hibernate

Up til recently, my T41 hibernated with no problem. Hit the fn f12 combination, and away it would go.
Suddenly, it shows the hibernation screen, then aborts completely. I've deleted and recreated the hibfil.sys file in c:, but that didn't help. I run XP.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To anyone else still tearing out their hair trying to solve this (as was I), here is the solution. The problem is most likely rootkit malware attack. If combofix freezes up your computer, try the following instead.
To check and remove rootkits, download and run Kaspersky's TDSSKiller:
http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.zip
I ran this. It found one infection, quaranteened the file, rebooted my computer, and hibernation now works.
After countless attempts to fix hibernation, this was the only solution that worked for me.

CMacbook Pro mid 2012 won't hibernate

Hi!
I've noticed my macbook pro mid 2012, non-retina, is not hibernating when I stored it on a nice little sleeve.
I didn't want to worry about turning it off, I just wanted to close the lid and if I didn't open it after 1 hour, it should hibernate to save power.
Here's my pmset:
What's going on? What am I doing wrong?
Is it because I set my SSD to never sleep, on power management?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

T41 won't run on AC only or with fully charged battery

I just got a used T41 laptop and have a weird problem. It runs fine on battery only or with a partially charged battery. But when I remove the battery and try to run on AC only, I get the "charger removed beep and screen flash warning" over and over again. The same thing happens when the battery is installed and reaches full charge. As it approaches full charge, I'll get the warning once in awhile. But once it reaches full charge, or with the battery removed, it happens intermittently, every few seconds.
If I turn off the "Power Control" alarm in the BIOS, I don't get the beeps but the screen still flashes. Also, the alarms start before the OS is loaded. They occur even at the first screen where it allows you to press the IBM Access button. It seems to be some sort of "over voltage" alarm. I have Grub installed for dual booting XP and Linux and while Grub menu is displayed and I turn the LCD brightness up and down, the alarm frequency increases as I decrease the brightness.
As it stands, I can only use the computer by unplugging the AC when the battery reaches about 90% charge, running on battery only till it drops to about 20%, and then plugging the AC back in. Frustrating!!!

Thank you for the information that does me no good at all. I only paid $75 for the laptop and it will allow me to sell a good working Acer laptop for much more money. I can put up with the inconvenience with my personal laptop. In fact, it works quite well with just a 12v battery connected to the AC connector. With only 12v applied, instead of 16v, the over voltage sensor doesn't kick in. There are always several approaches to any problem and I was hoping someone here in the forum had one more elegant than mine. If not, I can live with mine. No way is replacing the MB a solution.
Thanks anyway

[SOLVED] My Laptop won't hibernate

Hi all,
I'm a new user to Arch, really liking it thus far, great learning curve.
So far managed to solve all problems I've encountered except for one, and that is to get my laptop to hibernate.
I've got a Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop which is running Arch Linux 32-bit with Gnome 3 Shell and every attempt I make hibernate seems to fail. When I try and hibernate my laptop it seems to do something for a moment as the screen goes blank with a cursor in the top left and it looks like theres some hard drive activity during the black screen, the laptop then powers off as expected but on booting back into Arch it just boots as if it was started from a shutdown.
I've been reading the Wiki page about hibernation in Arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm … nd2disk.29) and have followed all the guidelines. I have installed acpi, pm-utils, upower as well as made sure there is resume paramater on my linux line in GRUB2
Here are my configs below:
fdisk:

Despite hibernate not working, suspend is OK.
Hope someone can help me solve my problem! I did search around for answer before writing this thread!
Thanks,
James

You also need to include 'resume' in the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Then you need to recreate the initramfs image by running 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26' as root. After doing these additional modifications, the laptop should be able to resume from disk.

MacBook won't hibernate (deep sleep)

I've noticed that recently when my MacBook completely runs out of battery, it just shuts off. I also tried to go into deep sleep by running the dashboard widget DeepSleep, but that doesn't work correctly; it just turns off the screen but keeps running. It used to go into the deep sleep mode just fine both by running out of battery and by the dashboard widget. What can I do?

I'd like to second this issue. This is with the latest model MacBook (7,1) 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo.
On all of our older MacBooks, when you get to a low battery, it will give you a warning. If you run the battery completely down, you can still plug it in and it will awaken as normal. If you STILL don't plug it in, it will awake from "hibernate" mode - a gray screen with a progress bar on the bottom. I've had a MacBook awake like this after being drained for months. This is due to the computer saving the current state onto the hard drive.
Unfortunately, our new MacBook does none of this. This is very disheartening as it's clearly not the correct behavior.
Running pmset -g yields the following:
Active Profiles:
Battery Power -1*
AC Power -1
Currently in use:
hibernatemode 3
halfdim 1
acwake 0
lidwake 1
sleep 10
disksleep 10
sms 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 5
Has anybody found a fix to this issue, or do I have a bad laptop?

My MBP won't hibernate when not using

When I'm not using my MBP, it won't shut down after a period of inactivity. It will just eventually run out of battery and shut down.
This means that if I levave it alone for a while, when I pick it up agian it's run out baterry.
I've checked my settings, and this is what they look like:
So I guess it should be hibernating, but it's not.
Any tips on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Hi,
Since Out of office Automatic replies can be set and work well in OWA and Cached mode, it indicates that the OOF configuration in Exchange is correct. It should be a Outlook issue.
Additionally, Online Mode works by using information directly from the server. Mailbox data is only cached in memory and never written to disk. It would be influenced by the network adapter speed and server connection. Therefore, please
start Outlook in safe mode to disable some add-ins and try setting OOF again in Online mode.
Thanks,

Have you configured the files in /etc/hibernate to your setup?
You must set 'SuspendDevice swap:/dev/sda8' (substitute with your swap partition), 'UseTuxOnIce yes' in tuxonice.conf and 'TryMethod tuxonice.conf' in disk.conf. Also, take a look at common.conf.
Additionally, you must edit your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to add the 'resume' hook (before 'filesystems'). There are some more steps, read the wiki on TuxOnIce and linux-pf.
[EDIT]
Your system seems to have tried to hibernate and failed; perhaps with <Alt-F#> (# being your X tty) you'll be back at your desktop. If that's the case, post your relevant dmesg output, it might shed some light.

[Solved] Suspend to Disk: systemd-hibernate.service Fails

Howdy-ha, folks. I know this looks pretty mundane, but for the life of me I can't get hibernation to work. Each time I run systemctl hibernate the screen will go blank as though preparing to suspend, then come back on; journalctl shows the same error messages:
PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.
PM: Cannot get swap writer
Failed to start Hibernate.
Dependency failed for Hibernate.
Service sleep.target is not needed anymore. Stopping.
Unit systemd-hibernate.service entered failed state.
This happens when swap is mounted, and "swapon" says as much. I've been working on this for about four hours now, and none of what I've found seems to pertain to my situation (most of the "solutions" were "Increase partition size').
What I've tried:
- Three different kernels---linux-ck custom build and linux-ck-sandybridge from graysky's repo (both with BFQ and CFQ: see below), as well as the stock Arch kernel
- A 2 Gb swap file at /swapfile on my SSD;
- A 4 Gb swap partition on /dev/mmcblk0 (an SD card, and my preferred method/location, if possible);
- An 8 Gb swap partition on HDD /dev/sdb2
Reasons for wanting hibernate rather than suspend-to-RAM:
- Maximize battery life.
- There's some kind of issue with Linux-ck and suspending to RAM; it'll work once, then freeze in a kernel panic the second time, forcing a hard reset. The stock kernel suspends to RAM, but still won't hibernate
- I put a lot of time into building a custom Linux-ck kernel, and would rather not have to start the configuration over with the stock kernel if possible.
I'm working with limited space on my boot drive and, as mentioned, increasing the amount of swap has no bearing on this. The resulting phenomenon and error messages are the same, regardless of size and medium. I've exhausted my ideas on where to look, and what to even look for. Thanks a lot to everyone in advance (especially you,karol; don't think I don't see you lurking back there )

Hate to part with my T41 but.....

Microsoft XP support ending April 2014 and my 23739FU T41 won't run Windows 7 or 8 and I don't like Vista so I am forced to replace my bullet-proof T41. I don't know how to keep it and make upgrades to update O.S.. Don't know which Thinkpad to buy so starting with basic QUESTION: Has Lenovo kept the solid look and feel of the T41 keyboard? The key relief and rock solid feel of the T41 keyboard is a favorite attribute of the model. I don't like the "mushy" and flat feel on keyboards of some other makes like Dell. Can anyone here tell me if and how the keyboards on newer Thinkpads compare with my 2004 vintage T41 23739FU?
Solved!

I wouldn't part. The new computers are not being made as well as these old puppies. Why can't the T41 run Windows 7? Seems it should be able to. I am using two T30 laptops as my baseline. One of them has 1.320 Terrabytes with an ultrabay SATA drive. You can't do anything like this with the new laptops.
Also these old laptops can be opened and maintained, not like the sealed new ones. Other than processor speed I don't see any reason to part.
Instead buy another T41 and have two duplicate machines in case one goes down. The other thing is all your S/W apps can be preserved.
A couple of things here...
a) No one should part with a working ThinkPad BUT they should also be fully aware of the platform's limitations. Using a decade old T41 as one's main computer in 2014 is likely to cause headache.
These units will run both Vista and W7. The problem is that for any remotely serious application apart from being a glorified typewriter the lack of proper graphics driver will be more than noticeable.
b) T30 was the last ThinkPad that felt it could survive a nuclear blast. However, in real life terms it's even more outdated than T41.
I personally own several "outdated" units such as X24, A31p and T42p. While all of them are still perfectly functional and kept in good physical and running condition none is used as a main computer...
c) Newer machines such as T420/520 and W520 can actually utilise 3 drives at the same time - mSATA SSD in the appropriate slot, one drive in the main bay and one in the ultrabay so they can do better than the old ones in the respect of storage.
d) I can't say much about *30 and *40 generation since I've never had any of them - and have no intentions of ever owning one - but the *20 and previous series are easy to work on and not sealed in at all.
My advice to OP still stands - look into T61 series, preferably a 14" SXGA+ unit with Intel graphics - and you'll feel almost at home. Let the T41 enjoy its well-earned retirement. Nothing is stopping you from utilising it casually.
Happy ThinkPadding and good luck to all.

Simple Home Sharing Question

I'm sure this is a basic question but I can't seem to find the answer. Please any help us MUCH appreciated! Here's the deal... I'm a long time iTunes and iPhone user and have a large music & apps library. My wife has her own computer and recently got an iPhone... so I set her up using my Apple ID so we could home share. This worked okay but with the release of iOS5 and iCloud... I'm confused.
My question is... how does iCloud play into this now? We now have multiple comptuers and iPhones using the same Apple ID... so how does Find My Friend & Find my iPhone work? How does syncing with iCloud work? Will it seperate our contacts?
Last question... how would YOU set this up? I don't want my wife have to repurchase the same music and apps... but she has her own laptop and iPhone.
Thank you!

I assume that if you are actually using the laptop to stream photos or music to the ATV, then it won't hibernate?
The details of that issue depends on whether or not you've got "wake on network access" enabled. Here's a cut and paste of the info from the relevant troubleshooting document:
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
In order for Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and check (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.

Clock and Date Reset

I have Macbook Pro Mid 2010 running on Lion 10.7.4
Every time I run out of battery and automatically shutdown, I get a message that my date is set to before 2001 and causing applications to behave irradically when I boot up for the first time.
I need to change the clock and date in the system pref.
This won't be happen if I shutdown the computer intentionally or make it sleep with enough battery.
Why this is happen? How to fix this issue?
It seems that the "safe deep sleep / hibernation" when the battery is running very2 low is not working.
Thank you,
Setiawan T.

Basically why I asked this question is :
On Snow Leopard, when the battery reaching its "danger zone", let's say I forget to turn my MBP off when I go out for lunch, It will automatically deep sleep / hibernate. So I don't experience this kind of problem.
However since I upgrade to Lion, I face this problem. It won't hibernate everytime the battery reach it's danger zone. Thus the clock and date are being reset.
Regards.

Hibernation problem

Hello to all,
I searched the web and the community forum here from Apple but i didn´t find a solution. First some important data of my machine. It is a MacBook Pro 13 mid 2010, 2,4Ghz, 4GBRam, OS Lion 10.7.2, Apple Care Protection Plan until 27.12.2013.
Second a little prologue. I had problems with the battery charge. It didn´t charge and the green / orange light of my MacSafe didn´t go on. So I called the Apple Support and we did an SMC Reset i think (shut down the MBP and then press and hold alt+ctrl+ shift+powerbutton for 3 seconds until the MAcSafe light changes the colour once). This resolved the charging problem and now my MBP is charging again and everything is ok.
BUUUUTTT, now there is a new problem. Until then my MBP won´t go into hybernation mode when it is plugged to the poweradapter. It won´t hibernate if I start it manually through the Apple menue, either if I close the MBP. It ONLY works well when in Battery mode without charging. I already did a PRAM reset and I don´t have any sharing active and I tried to change the hibernation mode from 3 to 0 but it didn´t work, too.
Now I don´t know what to do. I don´t hope my logicboard is broken.
Maybe someone has an idea what I could try to fix it. If not I will have to call the Apple Support again.
Thanks you all.
Mike

Macbook fan keeps running, won't sleep or hibernate

So here's the deal, my macbook (late 2008 aluminum) fan is always running loudly, from 4500-6000 rpm, and the temperature stays around 80ºF even if the computer is idling. I have to shut it off for the fan to turn off. When I close the lid, the screen shuts off, but the computer won't sleep, even if I choose sleep from the apple menu. I tried unplugging the power and letting the screen turn off, thinking it would hibernate, but it will not hibernate either. I made sure there is no dust in vents or anything, tried SMC reset, installed latest software, am running SMC fan control, nothing seems to be working. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3. and my activity monitor shows no unusual activity. It does feel hot, so I don't think the heat sensor is off, it is just heating up and won't cool down. Could the fan be running poorly and not cooling properly? Please help.

There's a log in Event Viewer. It might have the issue logged.
Does uninstalling the Power Management driver and reinstalling v1.62 help?

M70-160: won't wake up from hibernate or standby - software or hardware?

I just got maaaaaan!!
works fine, but won't wake up from hibernate or standbye !! unless yur gonna wait for awhile!! 15min or something like that!!
After that it will wake and work normally !
I thought it's overheating problem but now just power it on and when the toshiba logo appear if you turn it off, it won't power on again, but after 15min it WILL !!!
so it's not a heating problem !!
It does that even without HD on it !!
at first it was hibernate and standby problem, now it dose the same with shutdown !!
what can I do!!
i just bought it guys !! ASP is to far a way !!
is there anyway i can do to fix it !!
i do fix PCs alot but not notebooks !!

thank you for your help and the fast replay, i really really appreciate it.
I'll explain the problem in details, right after hibernate or standby IF you press power button the led goes blue, fan starts, HD led lights, battery led, power adapter led (if its connected), and cd player make sound as if it looking for a CD, and THEN fan stopped, HD led goes off, no sound of CD, leaves u only with power button led ON, a nice frustrating Blue
after waiting, u eventually gave up, turn it off by along press on power button, and then no matter wut u do, simply won't start only same sounds and leds as mentioned previously, nothing on the screen as if its dead !! no logo no nothing.
give it a time ( about 15min with battery connected, or 5min or less with battery out) Press the power Button, THERE U GO, works perfectly !!
same case with shutdown but not always as hibernate and standby (though once it did wakeup from standby!!), but most of the time after shutdown u have to wait 15min!!
no USB flash memory connected or anything else !
i did install winXP pro SP2 on it and installed the drivers and Microsoft HOT fixes also, but problem remains.
i also did recovery from the recovery CD that comes with it, also no good !!
i noticed that if u disconnected the battery the unit needs shorter time to be able to wake up or boot. about 5 min.
wut kills me is that the unit works perfectly and i like it !!! i only got this issue with it !!
so wut i need to know is this: Is there anyway to make sure weather if its a software problem or a hardware problem?
its not easy to go to the local service cuz its in another city!! i need to try first wutever it takes to fix it on my own!
thank you for your time!

T41 WLAN won't power on

HI, I just bought a T41 2373 7FU and I can't get the wireless adapter to power on in vista the light is on but the software says that it's not powered on and I can't connect to anything I've tried just using windows to control the wireless, I've also downloaded the driver from Intel as well as using the regular vista driver. It's not a hardware problem as the adapter works fine with a live Linux distro. Thanks in advance

Personally, I'd be upgrading the card, they're cheap enough nowadays...
any of these two should be fine with Vista, and will give you better performance in XP/Linux as well:
39T0071 (IBM/Atheros a/b/g)
93P3483 (Intel 2200 BG)
These are original cards that were installed in T4x series when they were new, just throw the FRU number that I've provided in Google or eBay's search engine...also, you get more security options with newer cards.
Hope this helps.
