suspend doesn't work in newer kernel 5.x

xiongnu · 06-05-2022, 02:44 PM

hi, I've a hp desktop running Devuan 4.0 with kernel 5.11.x, sometime after upgrade from earlier devuan 3.0 with 4.19 kernel, suspend function doesn't work anymore (i.e. no response to power button press, or keyboard/mouse), the only way is to long press power to recycle the power. i've asked the question in Devuan's forum but didn't get an answer.

has anyone had similar issue with new linux kernel?

Code:

erdos@htpc-devuan:~/Documents$ uname -a
Linux htpc-devuan 5.10.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.70-1 (2021-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

1) Troubleshooting advice links:

https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend#Debian_Wheezy_.287.29
https://wiki.debian.org/Suspend#Kernel_testing_facility

2) Which model HP desktop? Graphics hardware?

Code:

inxi -SMGa

3) If you switch away from the graphics session to VT3 (CTRL-ALT-F3), log in as root, and do

Code:

/usr/sbin/pm-suspend

does the machine suspend ok? Does it wake ok?

4) Another thought: Check that it is not just a case of needing to update the HP BIOS.

Just in case this is relevant...

I am running a 7-year old Arch Linux desktop with AMD FX6200 CPU and nVidia GeForce 210. I am using the open source version of the graphics driver nouveau. Recently, due to a kernel update, my computer run into an issue of being unable to suspend.

The symptom is quite simple: the screen turned black when I hit the suspend button, thus presenting an appearance of a suspended status. However, there is no response when I tried to resume the session from my USB keyboard, as I always did.

Eventually, the problem was solved by adding init_on_alloc=0 to the kernel parameters, as discussed here. Here’s how to do it if you are using GRUB (Methods to update kernel parameters could also be found here, if you are not running GRUB.).

in VT3, /usr/sbin/pm-suspend as root returns 'no such files or directory'. so no suspend

the Bios is up-to-date given HP no longer support this model, last bios released is dated 2009

Ok, at least we now know your graphics hardware details. Would have been nice to know the driver details as well.

Code:

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga

BTW, inxi tends to provide comprehensive information so worth installing IMHO.

Sorry, I'm not a Devuan user, so not at all sure what suspend management framework is in place. Hopefully someone else can chime in here.

here's the info on video card.

Code:

erdos@htpc-devuan:~/Documents$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300 GE] [10de:06e0] (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Pegatron G98 [GeForce 9300 GE] [1b0a:9004]
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nvidia

trying to install 'inxi', but certain 'bind~' file couldn't be retrieved from server.

i installed 'pm-utils' with synaptics pkg manager and it seems that 'pm-suspend' is on /usr/sbin directory now.
Run pm-suspend from vt3 can put pc in suspend mode, afterwards it can’t wake, pressing power button just get a blank screen, no response from keyboard /mouse. And I had to recycle power to reboot machine.
