Wake up from suspend using keyboard

Hi!
I've installed Arch 64 on my LG Tarsia. So far everything works, I've just noted an interesting difference compared to XP.
If I suspend in XP, I can wake the computer using any key. Suspending from Linux I can only wake the computer using the power button? Subjectively, suspending on Linux also takes longer.
Did I miss something? I'm using pm-utils, suspend is triggered with pm-suspend.
Cheers,
Michael

I found a reference describing the sleep states and their possibilities:
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html
Interestingly, the /proc/acpi/sleep interface provides more options (S0,S3,S4,S5) than /sys/power/state (mem, disk).
Cheers!

[SOLVED] Something automatically wakes PC from suspend to RAM

Hello,
for the last two days my desktop PC automatically and instantaneously wakes from suspend-to-RAM when I try to put it to sleep. I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135543 and tried the script that solved the problem for the OP with no success.
Some info that might be relevant:
I have not made any hardware changes to my computer lately;
The only devices connected to my computer are the display (DVI) my TV (HDMI) and a mouse and keyboard and a router.
I use the stock Arch kernel and update regularly from a synced mirror in Norway;
I suspend my computer with
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" \
/org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
All wake-up events like PCIe, mouse and keyboard are disabled in BIOS.
Does anybody experience these problems lately, or know if this is a known issue//bug?
Here is an exerpt from dmesg:

Thank you for any help!

I'll try changing some BIOS settings, thanks As of now, I can't test your suggestion regarding input devices and wake-up because it takes less then a second for the computer to auto-wake-up
Also, I doubt the keyboard sets this off, because the scripts unloads all USB modules before suspending. But the mouse (a PS/2) on the other hand...
EDIT: I found out that it was the network waking the computer After stopping the network daemon before suspending, I can suspend normally! On a side note, I can wake the computer by pressing a key on my keyboard, but I do not know whether I could before or not. Anyways, this is solved for me

Wake up from suspend

Hi.
I have a MSI k7n2 delta ILSR with AMD 2500+ and 512 megs of RAM.
The wake up after suspend is working fine when I use an XP installed with my old motherboard (soltek), I just simly change the mainboard. Then I reinstall the Xp with the newest nForce drivers, and the wake up is not work. Why? All the rest of config was the same!
There is some hidden option in XP? Or what?
Best Regards: Timpi

Hi,
Actually, If I'm reading you right you should really have really done a new XP install on your new motherboard!
Make sure the settings in Control Panel> Power Options are set correctly. It may also be a good idea to run through your board's BIOS settings too! Refer to your manual for relevant details!

X121e randomly wake up from suspended status and real time clock error

Hi all
Previously I considered my x121e suffer from overheating issue and causes real time clock error (RTC). However, after more testing and investigation, I believe the problem is related to other hardware issues and I like to hear people opinion before sending the laptop back to Lenovo.
The machine goes into suspend status either pressing the power button or closing the lid from Windows7 (clean install) without problem. However, it would wake up itself randomly, "beep" twice and screen shows RTC and CMOS checksum error. This happen more often when I am holding the machine (i.e. some movement/vibration). I wonder:
- Is it the RTC battery problem, cause the RTC to wake up the machine?
- Other hardware failure?
The laptop has a clean OS installed/recovered. Latest 1.16 Bios installed. No USB or memory card attached. Ram replaced and not the cause.
Please advise
Howard

Hello,
I am unsure; you would have to contact Lenovo directly and find out how they handle this situation. They may want the ThinkPad X121e back so they can run thorough diagnostics on it, just in case the problem is something else. That way it gets fixed the first time.

Computer does not wake up from suspend

Hi,
Lenovo 3000 V100 0763 - Windows Vista Business.
I have a very annoying problem:
putting the computer to sleep , or when closing the lid for sleep (the moon icon lits up)
and waking it after 10-15 seconds is ok.
But more than that , even for a couple of minutes the computer simply will not wake up , everything seem to load ok , but the screen stays black , and the computer is not responding , than I have to lose all my job and press 5 seconds on the off button to get it shutdown and than booted from scratch.
It happens on any installation of Vista, clean or Lenovo's original.
It happens on Windows XP too
I have tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the video driver , it will not help
The computer has the latest Bios , and the latest Lenovo drivers (which are mostly 2007 though)
Any expert help will be much appreciated. I am out of ideas.
Simply not feasable that a laptop will not be able to do such an elementary option :-(

Suggestion .. setup your signature .. Os & what your computer has on it .. It helps the solution..kinda like mine .. never too much info.
When the screen goes black, and touchpad has no life, Click "Fn" and then move your finger around on the touchpad .. works for me ..try that before you lightly press the power button ..
Right click the desktop, select properties, screen saver, power, select laptop, change the settings .. plugged - top left .. 30min, 1 hr, 3 hrs, 4 hrs hiber .. top right - on batts .. 10 min, 45 min, 2 hrs, 3 hrs hiber.. try my settings .. see if that works ..
Set a system restore before you start messing .. I turned stuff off stuff using .. start .. run .. type in msconfig, select start up tab, click off some you think might be ok to try .. kinda pot luck .. there might be some better postings ..after you reboot don't click save on changes untill you know things are working..
Re-imaging .. works good .. just backup what you want because it's gone afterwards.. if you send it in especially .. back it up!
Good Luck..

X121e - Black screen after wake up from suspend to RAM

I am the owner of a ThinkPad X121e - Notebook Type 3051-5QG (AMD E350 Processor). After a BIOS - Update from 1.07 to 1.16 I have a problem to wake it up from the S3 - Suspend to RAM function.
The Notebook restarts and the fan is working but there is no beep and the screen stays black. There is no way to get it working except a complete hard shutdown pushing the on/off-Button.
Does anybody know the problem and has a solution? Or do I have to wait and hope for the next BIOS-Version to solve the problem? I would like to downgrade to 1.07 BIOS, but I am afraid that this is not possible.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since 2012-12-02 Lenovo has published an new Bios-Version 1.17 .
I installed the update today and the problem is gone. I hope there is no new bug in this Bios-Version, but up to now everything seems to work properly.

Wake up from suspend to ram *twice*

Hello!
I am running arch on my Asus M51Vr laptop. Whenever I suspend to RAM and try to resume (i.e. hit a key), the laptop wakes up (sometimes without even locking the screen), and after 3-5 seconds it goes back to sleep; if I hit a key again, it will wake up with the screen locked (as configured) and then proceed normally.
This issue appeared some time ago after an update (was not there after installing arch). I am not sure where to start with the search for a fix, could you please help me?
Thank you!

I actually do have that script:

Won't wake up from sleep mode, keyboard won't type

When in sleep mode, can not wake, keyboard will not type. So far had several problems with Lion. First Time ever my imac slowed to a crawl and forced me to m power off.

Since you have a new machine, I would call Apple immediately and have them deal with the problem.

Return to photo from keywords using keyboard?

In LR 1 I could add keywords and return to the photo using just the keyboard in the following way --
Command-K
Enter keywords separated by commas
Hit return twice
and I would back at the photo with it selected
In this way I never had to reach for the mouse.
With LR 2 if I follow the same method I get stuck in the Keyword text field when I hit return. I understand it works this way so I can easily add multiple keywords easily, but how can I easily return to the photo using the keyboard and not the mouse?
Ken

> Press Enter once.
To clarify: pressing Enter once when the keywording field is empty commits and returns to photo. Escape always exists and returns focus to the photo.

FIXed:T400 Lenovo can not log in when wake up from suspend or sleep time FIXed ( but not sure 100%)

Hi everyone who is having this isse,
I got this issue for months, I spent alot of time to search for the solutions, I found a lot of here but can not fix my issue, I think you did, too.
but today, when I decided to remove all of the FingerPrint softwares, you guys please notice that, when the Fingerprint software is disabled, your login windows will become normal as windows XP style. If it apprears in your system, the log in windows can be looked different.
When I removed all of that software, I restart and problem has gone. But I am not sure 100% that it is the problem or not. May be we should report to LENOVO or IBM that they can upgrade the driver for Fingerprint or fix the bug in the fingerprint software.
Please try this then let me know the result.
Thanks.

I forgot to let you know about how was the issue:
- When we leave the laptop for about 45 minutes or more than that, and we wake it up, the windows showed the "this computer is being locked by <account> only that account or Administrator can unlock" etc...
- Then we press Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and then nothing happens, only a blue screen without anything, the only way that we have to do is hold the power button until the laptop is off then back on.
and I fixed that problem via uninstalling all of the Fingerprint softwares. I hope that LENOVO or IBM can upgrade the software and fix that bug.

Keyboard not recognized when waking up from suspend

Hello people,
I have a HP Pavilion 11-n030ar x360 laptop (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04439109).
Every time the laptop wakes up from suspend, the keyboard isn't responsive anymore (even after waiting more than 10 minutes) so when I am using i3 I must hard shutdown which is really annoying.
I rebooted 3 times in a row and the keyboard wouldn't be recognized (despite that the keyboard was responsive at the grub menu, because I dual boot with Windows).
Here's the output of dmesg at waking up:

I hope to diagnose the problem so that I can fix it, but from the dmesg message, it's not clear to me what's wrong.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I just started having the same problem on my desktop. Nothing in the logs that I can find, just Suspending system... and that's it.
I don't think the keyboard is working at all, I would at least be able to reboot in the dark, not to mention Caps/Num lock lights won't come on either.
Mine started after I went from 3.13.5 > 3.13.6, but I also upgraded nvidia (331 > 334) and systemd (208-210) in the same -Syu, amongst others.

I am using a USB keyboard and everytime I wake the iMac from sleep the keyboard will not respond unless I unplug and replug the keyboard. I am using a mid-2010 iMac with OSX 10.6. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

X1C won't wake up from sleep mode using keyboard

Hi...so finally got my X1C today. One thing I am noticing is that the machine won't wake up from sleep mode when I press any key on the keyboard -- it only wake up by pressing the power key. This is a bit unexpected to me. Is it by design, and is there any way to change this?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Does it awaken from stand-by if you press the Fn key? That's been the ThinkPad standard for as long as I can remember.
Regards.

I am not a Lenovo employee.

TS1367 I am asking this question about my 27 inch iMac Desktop Computer. I normally use my Laptop and very seldom use the desktop but was going to download the new software earlier today. I could not wake it from sleep.

The other evening we had a storm and lightening hit a house a few doors from me. It jolted my chair but that seemed to be all here. I use my laptop most of the time but since there was a software download I went to my 27 inch iMac and could not wake it from sleep. The light on the keyboard is not lit either. I have this connected to a Battery Backup Power so do not know what has happened or what to do. When I push the power button to try to turn it on nothing happens. There is no shound, no video, nothing; however the disk drive that does my time maching backup has a light on it and the other things that are plugged into the battery power pack also have lights on them. The printer is on and says it is ready to print. Since I cannot boot it up I do not know what to do to even try to get it started. I did not know what would happen if I put the first start up disk in the external disk drive and try that or not. The internal drive is broken. I do not have any repair shops or apple stores around me at all less than 150 miles away and I am disabled with 24/7 help and oxygen so can not take it in. Are there any suggestions that anyone can give me. I have not been able to find any way to reset the backup battery pack either. It is a Tripp-Lite. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

G3 Bronze Keyboard won't wake up from sleep

I have a hand-me-down Powerbook G3 Lombard 400 Mhz (bronze keyboard), with a dead main battery. It works great with the power adapter, and has just enough charge for me to move it from one outlet to another without shutting down. I'm trying to set it up for use as an Itunes server connected to my home stereo, which is fine because it will always be plugged in.
The problem is that the laptop won't wake up from sleep. This morning I noticed that the display and HD seemed to be sleeping, but the fan/processor buzzing noise was still going (there were no lights other than the little green light on my PCI card). I couldn't figure out any combination of keyboard or power key strokes that would either wake it up or shut it down. I unplugged it, waited half an hour or so, and it finally shut down. I then plugged in, hit power, and it started and booted perfectly (after the expected disk check for abnormal shutdown). Then this afternoon, the whole thing was sleeping (I think -- no sound, no lights other than PCI card light), and again it wouldn't wake up. Again, I unplugged, let it power down (waited for the PCI light do die), the replugged and it started up just fine.
Any idea what gives? Or what I do when it's sleeping? Right now, I have changed the power saving settings so that it never goes to sleep, but I'd really like to let it sleep when people forgot to turn it off...
thanks!

aldpol,
There are many causes for sleep issues and you just have to wade through them one at a time.
You can always force a Lombard or newer powerbook to shut down by pressing/holding the power button until it turns off. As you have noted, this is an undesirable process since you can corrupt the HD.
I would start the troubleshooting in this manner:
1. Unplug all peripherals (PC cards, mouse, everything).
2. Reset the power manager:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431?viewlocale=en_US
3. Now put the powerbook to sleep via the Special menu, wait a minute or so, then wake.
4. If no success, restart while pressing the shift key until you see the message 'extensions off', then release. Now test sleep/wake.
If number #3 is successful, one of you peripherals is probably the troublemaker. If still having issues, please post back with more details if possible.
