Title:
Re-installation needed after laptop hibernation
Status in “pm-utils” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pm-utils
After my laptop hibernates and wake up, I have to re-install my ubuntu
distribution to get it to work again. This is what I am doing:
1. Start the laptop
2. Chose hibernate from the power menu (menu at the top right corner)
3. My laptop enters hibernation
4. Wake up the laptop
NOTE: What I have found here is that the screen's brightness is down to maybe
50%. It is alot darker than what it was when I hibernated.
5. Re-start the computer
NOTE: I have seen this by two different ways. I have woken the laptop and
taken restart in the power menu or I have tried the fn-f8 (which increase the
backlight on my laptop) which causes my laptop to freeze (see bug report
"619397 Laptop freeze when changing brightness" for details) and a hard
reset is necessary.
6. The laptop does not start
NOTE: Two things can be said here
1. If I start the computer in normal mode, I get to the spash screen (the
ubuntu logo) where I can hear a sound and then the computer freezes. I never
get to the water theme background but the computer has frozen before that. Also
the sound that I hear is like an old LP record with a scratch in it. It play
for a while and then jump back and repeat itself a few times before the freeze
occurs.
2. I have tried to start the computer in fail safe mode (holding SHIFT to get
to the grub menu). Then some text is flashing by the screen is cleared and I
get the following fault message:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
/dev/sda1: clean 135927/6111232 files, 958220/24414062 blocks
/dev/sda6: recovering journal
/dev/sda6: clean 643/8830976 files, 612874/35321088 blocks
init: Fail to spawn rc-sysinit main process: Unable to open console:
Input/output error
I never get to a console.
The only way I have found to recover from this state is to install
Ubuntu 9.10 and then re-install 10.04. I have tried to only re-install
10.04 but that does not solve the problem, even if I format the disk.
Another few notes about my laptop:
It is a HP Compaq Presario CQ61 402E0
/dev/sda1 is mounted at / and normally formatted at re-installation
/dev/sda5 is swap drive
/dev/sda6 is mounted at /home and is not normally formatted at
re-installation (although I have tried both)
