Bugzilla – Bug 597575
System fails to "sleep" but freezes (power cycle needed)
Last modified: 2010-11-30 22:21:19 UTC
After an update from 11.2 to 11.3M5 with 'zypper dup' my Laptop (Lenovo T60) fails to put itself to sleep. The 'sleep lamp' starts blinking, display is switched to console and thats it. Only way out is power cycling the system.
Me too, intel i945GM machine. If yours is an intel too, is this a dupe of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595760 ?
No, mine is a Lenovo T60 laptop with ATI graphics.
Anybody care to re-test with RC2?
The same behaviour on HP 6715b (AMD Turion, Radeon X1250) with OpenSuse 11.3 GM. It works perfect in OpenSuse 11.2 on the same configuration.
Thanks Jaroslav. I've updated this bug to 11.3 final based on your report. I wonder if this is ATI graphics-related. Could you please kindly attach your hwinfo results to this bug report? You can do this by issuing the command (as root/super user): hwinfo > hwinfo-jaroslav.txt and attaching the produced file below.
Created attachment 379690 [details] Hwinfo for HP Compaq 6715b I append hwinfo for my notebook. One more remark: It does work properly in runlevel 3 so the problem might be related to Radeon and KMS.
I'd say you're probably right. If I recall correctly, it wouldn't be the first time.
Can you please try the kernel(s) from: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/ matching your system configuration? Also, if you use the radeon driver with KMS, please check if removing the execute permission from /usr/sbin/s2ram helps.
Jaroslav, do you have any additional information to report? Have you tried the kernels posted by Rafael? I've set the bug to NEEDINFO while we wait on his report.
More information about the problem: 1. Kotd kernel does not help, neither removing execute permission from /usr/sbin/s2ram does. 2. Starting the system with nomodeset helps but the screen is flickering from time to time in this setup.
OK, I've changed the bug's NEEDINFO status, though you could have done this yourself. Let's see what Rafael has to say.
The fact that starting the kernel with "nomodeset" helps indicates that the problem is related to the graphics driver. I'm afraid this is an upstream issue. Jaroslav, is it viable to test mainline kernels from kernel.org on your machine?
Please check if the last openSUSE 11.3 kernel update fixes this issue.
Created attachment 391869 [details] supportconfig - crash happened only about 10min to 15 min earlier
Ok I'm also affected by this bug 11.3 radeon driver - KMS last crash happened 10-15 min ago - power cycle needed This happens annoyingly often since I updated to 11.3
To describe further - the system falls asleep in midaction and cannot be woken up - powercycle is needed I cant even switch to a Terminal
That may not be the same issue. What was the last openSUSE 11.3 kernel that was tested? Please attach the output of dmesg from that kernel.
The issue is still here after the latest kernel update.
Please test the current kernel from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/ that matches your system configuration.
The suspend works well with the new kernel 2.6.36-2.99.24. It is a great news. Is any hope that the fix will be ported back to the standard OpenSuse 11.3 kernel?
That depends on whether or not we're able to identify the fix and how intrusive it is. Unfortunately, only you can identify the fix, because you have the hardware the problem occurs on. If you can build and install kernel.org kernels on your system, please check if the last kernel from the 2.6.35.y series works correctly for you. Please let me know if you can do that.

Hi Rafael, dmesg is part of the supportconfig i attached - you will find it in the boot.txt If you need a different dmesg please tell where I can find it . And this is the latest kernel I tested.
OK, thanks. Can you test the kernel that worked for Jaroslav, 2.6.36-2.99.24, to verify it fixes the problem for you too?
If not further information is received, this bug should be closed.
Hi , thanks for the reminder - I'm pretty busy atm - but I will try to test the new Kerenl either today or tomorrow . if it works it will be at least a few few days before I can confirm as it crashes rather randomly - sometimes several times a day. Sometimes only once a week.
Thanks Stefan, looking forward to your update.
Ok I updated to the factory kernel about 2 weeks ago and use the version Linux Terrania 2.6.36-18-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-10-26 21:31:22 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux since then. In this nearly 2 weeks I had one crash compare d to about 2 dozen times (some days it was crashing very often) in 2weeks with 2.6.34 (up-to-date 11.3 Kernel) before . It might not be completely solved but I can certainly live with the situation as it is right now. probably will do a complete reinstallation once 11.4 is around.
OK, I'm resolving this as "worksforme", if you don't mind. Please reopen if it breaks again.
