Fwd: Re: ibook G3 suddenly fails to resume after suspend with Debian wheezy
Hi Roosevelt Thank. You for your hint. My F2 key works as expected if pbbuttonsd is installed. However, after waking up from suspend, the whole system seems stuck. There is no reaction to anything, i.e. it is not a display problem. >From old posts I figured some previous updates (of which packages?) Have led to ther same or simiulare failure. It would be great to get a starting point to solve this issue. Best Juergen On Aug 25, 2015 4:35 AM, "Roosevelt Littleton" wrote: > > I once had debian on my powerbook.

ibook G3 suddenly fails to resume after suspend with Debian wheezy
Dear Debian-for-PPC developers and users I am using an old 2003 G3 ibook with debian wheezy (3.2.0-4-powerpc #1 Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u3 ppc GNU/Linux), initially installed as linux mint. It had all been working fine until yesterday when the resume-from-suspend stopped working. I have performed an upgrade to the current version of all installed packages. I have been using lxde and xfce4 on the system. There was one "anomaly" when waking up from suspend since Debian had been installed. When closing the lid, the computer would go to suspend. When re-opening, it would wake up for a few seconds, then go back to suspend without user interaction. Pressing a keyboard key would then wake it up again, and it would function fine. Now, since the upgrade (did not note the versions I had been using before) the system goes to suspend. When re-opening, it does power up the screen backlight, and the caps lock key as well as num lock key LEDs work, however, nothing else starts up, and there is no network connection either.
