Bug Description

I am completely unable to get my laptop running warty to successfully resume
from suspend. I have tried all suggestions I could find in bug reports here and
on osdl (including bug#8016, trying the 2.6.9 kernel from
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/laptops/ , trying the 2.6.7 kernel from ubuntu
package and suggestions from http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1730 even
though they are not specifically for my laptop).
Basically if I make sure to stop mysql and hotplug services, the laptop goes
into suspend ok (using std "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep") but pressing any key
creates the right "noises" as if its coming out of suspend (just like in winXP,
hear disk spin up, power light blinks once), but then nothing - black screen,
can't login via ssh, and sometimes the fan just starts up seeming to inidcate
high cpu usage, basically have to reboot to get it working again.

I have also today upgraded the ios to the latest version available from acer
(1.07) but with no change in results.

Here is an excerpt from my log of hopefully the relevant section for the suspend
and resume.
I'd be very grateful for any help as this is the *last* thing that is not
working under ubuntu.

Following instructions found here:
http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html (as the TM802 has a very
similiar hardware to mine) gets me as far the laptop waking up ok BUT the screen
stays black.
As far as I can tell this is due to the video card not being re-initialised
correctly, but the "boot-radeon" util found on that webpage does NOT work for
me. Nor does the "video_post" tool from here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3670.
There maybe a solution in the making described on the acpi mailing list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=110146511618587&w=2 but I have not
yet had the time or inclination to try this yet.
Also I should add that my laptop is the aspire 2001 WLMI which has a Radeon Mob
9200. I can attach out put from dmesg or other debug info if thats helpful?

This ought to work under Hoary, with a bit of luck.

Hi,

Yes, I've running ok with Hoary ever since it came out,but I'm still using a
modified script file I created while trying to get it to work in Warty as the
suspend shell script shipped with Hoary didnot work for me. I will attach the
script to this bug report that I'm using the next chance I get.

Maks.

Please attach the script you're using and we'll try to get it working out of the

apologies for taking so long to get this script added here. I guesss its too
late for 5.10 but hopefully this will help for the next version.
I'm also currently downloading the preview CD of 5.10 so will try it out and see
if it works out of box and/or with this script.
I'm afraid I dont remember the origin of the script, but I think it may have
come from a link on one of the ubuntu wiki acpi pages.

So did breezy preview work for you without the script?

This bug has been flagged because it is old and possibly inactive. It may or may
not be fixed in the latest release (Breezy Badger 5.10). It is being marked as
"NEEDSINFO". In two weeks time, if the bug is not updated back to "NEW" and
validated against Breezy, it will be closed.

This is needed in order to help manage the current bug list for the kernel. We
would like to fix all bugs, but need users to test and help with debugging.

If this change was in error for this bug, please respond and make the
appropriate change (or email <email address hidden> if you cannot make the
change).

Thanks for your help.

Same problem here: Acer Aspire 2003 WLMi (same hardware), and running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.

S3 didn't work out of the box: black screen on resume.

Well it appears to be a different issue in daper. I got suspend to ram working by using this workaround advice:

     One thing about sleep: vbetool needs to save and restore your video
     state in order to have working video on resume. Currently, on Macbooks
     this is broken. This is caused by a mistake: the vbesave init script
     comes before the acpi init script. This means that laptop-detect will
     report to vbesave that you are not on a laptop and vbesave will not
     save your vbestate. Matthew Garrett is working on a fix, but in the
     mean time a workaround is to edit /usr/sbin/laptop-detect and insert
     a line 'exit 0' right after the #!/bin/sh (always report that we're
     a laptop).
