ignoring s3-bios and s3-mode suspend quirks with nvidia cards does not work

Hm, actually that's exactly the case that

hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu3) hardy; urgency=low

  * 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch: Disable video quirks when running on a
    known-good video driver (proprietary nvidia and fglrx, and Intel >=
    915GM). Doing this here is better than the previously applied pm-utils
    patch, since it avoids ignoring explicit pm-utils command line arguments,
    consistently uses the same behaviour for suspend and resume, and keeps the
    logic where it actually belongs.

was supposed to take care of. Seems that doesn't really work then?

Does /sys/module/nvidia exist for you? or do you use the free nv driver? Can you please edit /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux and add the following two lines right after the first line:

  set -x
  exec 2>/suspend.log

and then try to suspend, and resume (or reboot, if it failed). Can you please attach /suspend.log here?

Martin,

thanks for dealing with this issue.

Yes, I have

root@lulu:/# ls /sys/module/nvidia/
drivers holders initstate refcnt sections

I put the original 20-video-quirk-pm-fujitsu.fdi in place and changed
hal-system-power-suspend-linux as you requested. I suspended. Resuming
failed. After resetting the Lifebook I found:

root@lulu:/# cat suspend.log
+ read seconds_to_sleep
+ [ -d /sys/module/i915 ]
+ [ ]
+ [ -d /sys/module/nvidia ]
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_DPMS_ON=false
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_VBESTATE_RESTORE=false
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_VBEMODE_RESTORE=false
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_VGA_MODE_3=false
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_VBE_POST=false
+ HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_RESET_BRIGHTNESS=false
+ QUIRKS=
+ [ true = true ]
+ QUIRKS= --quirk-s3-bios
+ [ true = true ]
+ QUIRKS= --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode
+ [ = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ = true ]
+ [ false = true ]
+ [ = true ]
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ [ -x /usr/sbin/pm-suspend ]
+ /usr/sbin/pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios --quirk-s3-mode
root@lulu:/#

Hope this helps !

Kind regards

Gerd

Indeed this trace shows that it's not doing the intended thing here. And looking at the code, I now see why, so thanks for your help! I'll get that fixed right now.

Fixed in bzr: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/hal/ubuntu/revision/273

I consider this fix for hardy as well, once we got some confirmations that it is now really working.

This bug was fixed in the package hal - 0.5.11-4ubuntu2

---------------
hal (0.5.11-4ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * 01_default_suspend_quirks.patch: Disable remaining quirks (s3-bios,
    s3-mode, dpms-suspend, and radeon-off) for systems using the proprietary
    nvidia and fglrx drivers and newer Intels, too, since they break
    suspend/hibernate. (LP: #253223)

I have a Lenovo T61 with an Nvidia Quadro 140M video card and I'm using the proprietary driver. I run Hardy.

I applied the patches from the mentioned branch to the hal scripts and now I can both suspend and hibernate, and come back.

Hibernate, however, is a bit scary. It takes a while, and there are some beeps and the screen gets corrupted twice in the boot process. I was about to restart when suddenly the gnome password dialog popped up, and everything was restored.

The restore from hibernate looked like X when starting with a wrong driver and falling back to something else.

Hardy has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the Hardy task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
