Re: laptop-testing-team Digest, Vol 31, Issue 1 - Suspend Hibernate problem - machine: Toshiba

[Sean Van Buggenum]

Hi all,

My laptops (work and home) also have problems with suspend and hibernate.
The symptom is:

1. choose suspend
2. click button to get it out of suspend (in my case, the power button)
3. computer wakes up, but screen is black with flickering white stripes and noise.
4. Escape to prompt buttons have no effect, unable to escape X. Must force power off.

My home laptop is a Toshiba Satellite, running Gutsy Ubuntu.
Output of uname -a gives:
Linux svUbuntuX 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
The graphics card is a GForce NVidia, and I am using the non-free drivers from nvidia.
My work laptop is a dell (more information i cannot give at this time as i am at home).

What is Ubuntu policy on this? My bug reporting failure to suspend and
hibernate was closed as 'not a bug' and I was told to ask a question
instead.

Does Ubuntu/ Gnome intend to support hibernation and suspend?

That seems to have been an oversight, because the bug is now open.

I suspect there will be some useful information on the ubuntu wiki about
how to debug such things.

Finally, I strongly recommend against using one crashing program to file
general bugs - Launchpad has a "Report a bug" button you can use for
this if you visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/

You're right of course, I thought for a short time that that the
'Report a problem' in Yelp could be used to report problems generally.
Otherwise I have to attach all those files manually...
