UPDATE 27 th DEC ************************** Re: Raring environment test. steps that I have done:
1- load image to usb stick and boot. 2- when prompted click try ubuntu 3- click suspend when desktop loads up. Should have suspended normally ( i.e. when using 3.5.7.2). Exact same problem. It suspends, light is flashing, telling me that it suspended. Pressing a key wakes up the machine, but it does not resume as expected (straight to login screen) but POST's , displays vaio logo etc. After a few seconds boot manager is displayed( since this test was with live usb only). I have tried the live environment to confirm whether it is a possible conflict when ubuntu is not the only OS that is installed. ( see below for more info.) ***************************** Installing 13.04 Have installed 13.04 raring onto a 10gb partition on my hdd. 1-for completeness my boot manager is set up as follows. If the computer is booted from cold, it displays the truecrypt boot manager ( along the lines of http://www.dsl.sk/images/articles/2008-02-07-truecrypt-8.png ). 2- press esc and boot linux. Testing the live cd confirmed that this suspend problem is probably not due to a dual boot configuration. Once 13.04 is installed, (and updated) the problem persists ONLY if the proprietary flgrx drivers are installed. Leaving the system with open source radeon drivers does not trigger the problem. However this does not explain why the live usb option fails to work, as no flgrx drivers are loaded as far as i am aware. ******************** Based on my findings It has become apparent that i should retest the kernel-bisect kernels, with both flgrx and open source. Have retested the kernels (the originals that were installed and not deleted for the initial kernel-bisect ) first with radeon open source driver and afterwards proprietary driver. Here are the conclusions v3.4-rc7-precise Using radeon or proprietary --- problem still there v3.5.6-quantal/ --> same as above, however if using radeon driver the problem is extremely rare ( less than 1 in 100 cases, resumes normally). This was tested in a variety of configurations, programs open or not, video running (i.e. radeon driver used heavily), different devices connected to usb, hdmi, vga etc. v3.5.7.2-quantal/ --> problem fixed. However installing flgrx driver reintroduces the problem. using the radeon open source driver and repeating for multiple configurations does not reintroduce the problem(have tried for about 30 min of suspend resume cycle, has not failed once). ******************** Raring test 27 Dec 2012 Conclusion In Raring environment the problem is fixed, however it appears that between 3.2.xx (12.04 current kernel ) and 3.5.6 there was also a kernel problem that caused this to happen. In 13.04 daily (i.e. 3.7.0.7 -generic at the time of writing ) the problem is fixed. However the issue remains with the flgrx driver, even on 3.7.0.7. ** Description changed: Suspend does not work. 1- I click suspend, it attempts to suspend and shuts off with the power button blinking-as it does normally when it suspended in windows. 2-however when it comes out of suspend it simply reboots- as in displays the vaio logo then goes to bootloader and then boots from HDD activity light on for 10-15 seconds and it eventually boots to login screen. + + + ****************RARING UPDATE****************** + + Raring test 27 Dec 2012 + + + In Raring environment the problem is fixed, however it appears that between 3.2.xx (12.04 current kernel ) and 3.5.6 there was also a kernel problem that caused this to happen.
