suspend broken for thinkpad t400

Asked by konnew_ads@gmx.de

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with standard kernel and an T400 Thinkpad.
Soon after the upgrade to 10.10 suspend mode did not work some of the time.
The problem is described in more detail in the following post: (is german, you may use google to translate it)

http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/software/linux/106946-x200-ubuntu-10-10-64bit-suspend-problem/

It seemed to only be a ubuntu problem cause going to standby was reliable using sysfs.
echo mem > /sys/power/state

But since I upgraded a week ago or so standby does not work at all anymore. If I try to go into standby
the laptop will wakeup right away again.

The following messages are produces in /var/log/kern.log

The problem seems to be that a device can not be suspended. I'm sure that it is not a hardware problem because
everything works fine with my parallel installation of ubuntu 10.4 32bit.

Same thing happens using sysfs in order to fall asleep.
echo mem > /sys/power/state

Any thoughts on how to solve the problem?

Thanks
Konne

I have the same problem. Since upgrading to 10.10, my T400 had irregularly occurring suspend problems: the system would just not suspend and hang, the crescent icon blinking forever, that is, until I powered the laptop down.. I really found it annoying, because I use suspend a lot, as most people.

Then, just as Konne described, after an update a couple of days ago, now my computer is unable to suspend totally. When I close the lid, or choose suspend from the menu, the crescent blinks for several times and then the computer resumes again. My kern.log produced identical logs as Konne's, most importantly:

I have exactly the same problem on my Thinkpad T500, suspend now doesn't work at all and fails with the same message as the two users above.

sudo modprobe -r tpm_tis && sudo modprobe tpm_tis itpm=1

The command before solve the problem. It works on my ThinkPad X200.

Wow, the modprobe commands helped on x200, too - thanks!

Does not work for T400.

I can confirm this works on a T400s

I had seen a suggestion, just like Wong's on some forum I don't remember. What I did was I think similar.

First:
sudo rmmod tpm_tis

And, then add this to /etc/modprobe/d./blacklist.conf :
blacklist tpm_tis

It seemed to solve the problem for a while, but now it's back. In most cases, when I close the lid, the laptop would either freeze, or do nothing. This is on a Thinkpad T400..

I can't help but say that I have found 10.10 to be the buggiest Ubuntu ever, in my experience as a 4-years user.
