More 'suspend' issues

[siamhie]

Does suspend work with the live ISO? (that is Debian's 6.1 kernel)

OK, just misread the QSI

The xfce4-screensaver is known to cause such problems but you already removed that.

What if you suspend with this?

Code: Select all

sudo pm-suspend

Took me a second myself but I believe it reads like this. The "cpu: 1x" line just means there is only 1 CPU in the machine.

Code: Select all

cpus: 1x
cores: 6
threads: 12

Just going to throw this out there... I had some issues on an HP with this, until I went into the bios and turned off Fast Boot. Once that was off, the system worked very well on suspend. (Hibernate actually) .

Your system sounds a little like what I saw, but it was worse on mine. ( Black screen and unable to get out of it (some times;-/), wireless was WAY weird, keyboard and touchpad were sometimes non-existent. )

You might check that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it before and like the xfce4-session-logout --suspend I'm currently using, it gives variable results: sometimes everything is fine other times it locks up with a black screen and other times it comes back with a dead keyboard. That's what seems to make it so difficult to diagnose.

Thank you, I'll give it a shot and report back although it might take a day or two as the fault is intermittent.

Since it's sometimes (random):

Take the rams out then re-seat (take them out no matter they look tight).

(Since it's a desktop it won't be difficult)

Just checked and fast boot is already disabled.

Could try it I guess but don't see why that would only affect suspend/resume and nothing else.
