Sleep but no resume

2015-01-16 Thread edjabr
Running stable 64bit with the 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 kernel.  This macbook 
will go to sleep but will not resume, requiring a hard reboot.  When 
s2ram is run, the acivity light blinks- a sign that the machine is 
really asleep.  However, when I hit a key, the light goes out and no 
resume.  

I booted into OSX and sleep/resume was flawless, so it’s not hardware.  
Resume worked before the recently updated proprietary nvidia driver. 
So, uninstalled it and ran with nouveau, but still nogo.  I then 
installed a newer proprietary from backports.  No resume still, so it 
doesn’t seem to be a driver problem.  I've googled a lot and looked 
through files I never heard of before but couldn't find anything 
helpful. Bug #774461 refers to a fix for a similar but really 
different problem, and says that sleep/resume is fixed with the kernel 
I’m already running.  I’ve run s2ram wth different parameters but got 
nowhere.  Finally, s2ram --test returns 

 Machine unknown
This machine can be identified by:
sys_vendor   = "Apple Inc."
sys_product  = "MacBook5,1"
sys_version  = "1.0"
bios_version = "MB51.88Z.007D.B03.0904271443"

I’m at a loss here.  If anyone has any hints, something else to try or 
a pointer to a good rundown on this, greatly appreciated.

Perhaps, but the device survives reboots,  so -- if all is well, then it is.

No, it wasn't a hardware problem.  After much travail with udev, modprobe, 
interrupts, etc. and leariing more about dmesg output than I care to know, I 
thought - well, no sr0?  Then make one!

touch /dev/sr0
chown root:disk /dev/sr0
chmod 660 /dev/sr0

And that was that.  Sometimes the simplest, most obvious solution is the one 
that eludes us the most.

No virtual terminals

2010-09-09 Thread edjabr
Running squeeze.  I have NVidia video.  Problem is, I have no virtual 
8terminals.  ctrl-alt-f1 to 6 gets me a blank screen, although c-a-f8 (yes, 
f8) does bring back X.  I've looked for solutions but nothing I've found 
works.  E.g., I created /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc.conf with one line - 
options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0.  Still, I got nada. 

Any hints, pointers, etc. greatly appreciated.
