Locking session kills network
Last modified: 2005-11-24 13:05:24 UTC
Problem is that when I lock my session (either via the K menu command "lock session", by closing the laptop lid (which in my configuration starts the screensaver which locks the session after a minute) or when starting the screensaver), the network traffic stops. My ethernet network acts up quite often anyway but this is very annoying as I would like to leave stuff downloading... When I unlock the session and restart downloading the network seems to be up again. I am using SUSE 10.0 on a MiTAC 8066 laptop with a Realtek r8169 network card.
can you still ping or ssh into the machine when the screen is locked? How do you download (which command)?
pinging does not work using azureus, kget, opera
when i unlock the pc, the network does not come back by itself, it needs to be reconnected, sometimes the whole network restarted (rcnetwork restart)
This problem can be avoided by using boot parameter pci=noacpi As there's probably a very good reason why this boot parameter is not used by default, this should still qualify as a bug
you said the magic words
Please attach the full /var/log/boot.msg booted with and without the parameter as well as the output of the "acpidump" command (part of the pmtools package).
No feedback for over a week, so I'm closing this one. Please reopen if you still want this fixed, and can provide the requested information. Thanks!
