Okay, here are some mainline kernel testing results. I tested 3.12.0-031200rc4.201310080738 and 3.12.0-999.201310090426
Additional note: this was a fresh install of Saucy; I did not upgrade directly from Raring. rc4 - suspend fails to make machine go down. Screen blinks, network disconnects, then session comes back up in about 10 seconds. No orange light, no lock screen or password. On second try, same thing, except LCD backlight stayed on most of the time. rc4 - hibernate command missing from power menu. Installed apt package "hibernate". Attempted command. Got this error: adam@adam-vaio-lin:~/installs/mainline/12-rc4$ sudo hibernate hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found. Some modules failed to unload: nvidia hibernate: Aborting suspend due to errors in ModulesUnloadBlacklist (use --force to override). Error is strange because I set open-source drivers in order to test mainline. "Additional drivers" GUI tab appears to fail to keep these changes, reverts back to proprietary. I don't have the appetite to actually uninstall display drivers now to do test. Tried re-installing test kernels after setting open-source display driver in GUI; rebooted. Driver now showed as nouveau rather than NVidia. Hibernate command now executes but fails to give effect. Screen blinks, black screen with top-left cursor appears, then session restores and network reconnects. No evidence that session was written to swap or that power was turned off. Trying "suspend" from the unity menu causes the same result. "Command 'sudo hibernate -f' does no better. 999 - suspend: actually suspends the machine, though pauses into black with blinking cursor first. On wake, kicks all the way to initial boot. Session not saved, no sign that a suspend had been attempted. 999 - hibernate: Hibernate not enabled on menu. Trying "hibernate" package command does same result as in rc kernel. Removed "hibernate" package and attempted suspend. Suspend now fails to enter any power saving mode at all. Screen goes black with a small cursor, then session resumes, no lock screen, etc. Any help would be much appreciated: this is a major roadblock to my ability to use Linux on this mobile platform because of the need to conserve battery without having to shut down and re-initialize a multitasking work environment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238097 Title: Sony Corporation VPCF119HX suspend/resume failure non-free: nvidia Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is an ongoing problem that I have had ever since 12.04. Hibernate and suspend have never both worked properly; at the moment, suspend in Saucy puts the machine into sleep mode, but on wakeup, it kicks down to boot from BIOS and never recovers the session. I know, I know -- "test upstream mainline kernels". I'll give that one last try and post the results here, but I have gotten frustrated at what feels like a moving target. When I've gotten around to testing upstream kernels, the software has moved on in other areas, invalidating the tests, and I'm not sure if this specific error has ever really been looked into.
