Public bug reported: @GhostWheel:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10
@GhostWheel:~$ uname -a Linux GhostWheel 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux What I expected to happen: I suspend. I resume. I can continue to work with the computer. What happened instead: I suspend. I resume. I work with the computer for a few seconds and then everything locks up. Am unable to even shift to another terminal window to somewhat gracefully shut down. Some other notes: I have just clean installed and updated Maverick. I've not added or otherwise altered any software. I can also deterministically reproduce the suspend problem either with the USB startup disk or with the original, not updated version of Maverick. And, I can deterministically reproduce the problem with the amd64 version of Maverick. Why did I install Maverick knowing that the suspend problem existed? Because a) I have what seemed to be serious problems with earlier versions of Ubuntu and b) I was hopeful that the kernel updates once I installed Maverick would fix the problems. Clearly they didn't. Regarding b), I wish there were an easier way to test the most recent kernel updates on a new Ubuntu version to see if serious suspend / hibernate problems etc. exist--easier than having to load and update the entire system on my computer. I tried running update manager on my USB startup disk, just installing the kernel updates. This failed because apparently the initramfs is read only. It looks like the installation .iso's for new versions of Ubuntu such as Maverick rarely, if ever, get updated to reflect current kernel versions, so that doesn't leave much possibility for knowing whether serious problems have been fixed in later kernel updates for Maverick--with installing that version. As for why I'm desperate to move to a new version of Ubuntu, let me explain. In 8.04, I had no suspend / resume problems. The system was rock stable and it was a pleasure to use my computer. However, I changed my broadband provider to WIMAX and, given that the WIMAX modem only gets a good signal in one spot of our house, I had to start using wifi to connect my desktop to the Internet. I spent most of a work week trying to get wifi to work on 8.04, to no avail. I then installed 9.04, which made wifi possible, but the system would hang when I tried to suspend or hibernate every 5 or so times I tried to suspend or hibernate (see bug report #502801). I've been upgrading to new versions of the system ever since (every version up to 10.10) in the hopes that that would go away. This bug may be related to the fact that every few minutes my kernel logs would report ACPI errors (illegal i/o port address /length above 64K). I was thrilled to find that in Maverick the ACPI errors no longer occurred, but now I can deterministically crash the system simply by waking from suspend--which is worse. Granted, I'm on an old system & maybe I should update it (I did try to update the BIOS, but this had no effect on the errors in 10.10). On the other hand, the system meets my home needs and I hate throwing things out for no good reason. I love ubuntu on my office machine, where I don't have serious problems. Just wish these problems were solved for my home machine.
