Title:
  hibernation fails because chvt hangs

Status in “pm-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  EDIT : initial title was "hibernation fails because 99video does not
  terminate"

  When I initiate an hibernation on my computer, the following
  frequently happens (about 50% of the time) :

  1. screen goes black (normal) ;
  2. instead of showing the progress of the writing of RAM to disk in console 
mode, the screen remains black ;
  3. the screensaver prompt for login appears ;
  4. after returning to desktop, I see that the network card is not functioning 
;
  5. /var/log/pm-suspend.log last line is "Running hook 
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video hibernate hibernate:".

  Indeed, a ps -ef | grep 99video shows that the /usr/lib/pm-
  utils/sleep.d/99video script is still running.

  If I kill this script, pm-utils logs "/usr/lib/pm-
  utils/sleep.d/99video hibernate hibernate: Returned exit code 143.",
  aborts hibernation and then runs the hooks for thaw.

  I can then try again to hibernate, and it works : I never had this bug
  trigger twice in a row.

  This bug did not occur when I was running Ubuntu 12.04 and the
  corresponding kernels (but back then I was also using the video card
  driver from AMD's website instead of fglrx-updates).

  
  EDIT : further debugging (PM_DEBUG=true) shows that the blocking point in 
99video is "chvt 63". I tried to hibernate with --quirk-no-chvt. This allows 
the script 99video to terminate and the hibernation process itself to engage. 
However, my hibernation module, /usr/lib/pm-utils/module.d/hibernate, does a 
chvt 63 too, which is not controlled by the --quirk-no-chvt.

  So I experienced again a return to desktop with a chvt process not
  progressing. I killed it and hibernation took place, without any
  visual clue. On booting the system again, thaw took place correctly
  but the system was not usable because I did not get access to a
  console (graphical or text). Indeed, the pm-suspend.log shows that
  chvt 8 did not return.
