Aaron, I'm going to mark this as "rejected", which in this case basically means "there was a problem but it disappeared and we cannot reproduce it!" (I don't care for "rejected" as a status flag, but that's what we've got... ...discuss on The Sounder, I suppose, not here... 8-}). I think this is the appropriate thing to do since everything works for you now, and since the odds of our reproducing this - based on the path taken to get this machine to Edgy/Feisty-with-swap - are virtually nil. Ken, in all likelihood, you have a different bug - if at all possible, please move to a more recent Feisty (daily live 20070118 worked well for me, though the install was very slow), retest, and open a new bug report if the problem recurs. Thanks to both of you for your work on this, it is much appreciated! ** Changed in: vbetool (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper) https://launchpad.net/bugs/75177 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 75177] Re: eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper)
It still works, but I'm finding myself confused about the cause. Just wanted to mention that I did not upgrade from dapper to edgy on the same partition... it was a fresh install on a partition that used to contain a different distribution which I used before dapper. (Yes, edgy's installer reformatted that partition.) Both dapper and edgy installs share the same swap partition, but I don't think I had hibernated dapper recently before the install, and I don't think I had the symptoms of other people with the upgrade issue, in that I think my swap partition was probably actually being used for swap. (Only 512MB RAM on this machine.) Also, the fact that I could ssh to the machine makes me think it mostly was resuming OK except for some detail related to the display. Might there be some other bug in the installer that got corrected or worked around when I added the feisty kernel? -- eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper) https://launchpad.net/bugs/75177 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 75177] Re: eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper)
Peter, thanks for your response. The edgy kernel is still on my machine and still listed in grub, so I booted it... I wasn't sure what you meant by "ensure you have a valid swap partition," so I asked Google and found bug 66637. Before following the instructions there I checked /etc /initramfs-tools/conf.d/initramfs-tools/resume against the UUID in /dev/disks/by-uuid and they matched. So I tried hibernate, and it worked. Just hibernated again in the middle of composing this and firefox still had my entry... so I guess it smells like a duplicate. Assuming that the act of installing the new kernel happened to straighten out the initramfs setting as a side-effect? Interestingly, bcm43xx is working with the edgy kernel now, though I will probably go back to ndiswrapper for now since bcm43xx has some quirks as mentioned above.

[Bug 75177] Re: eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper)
Aaron, there is a chance you were bitten by a dapper-to-edgy upgrade bug that corrupted your swap partition and thus disabled hibernation. Would it be possible for you to revert to the Edgy kernel, ensure you have a valid swap partition (at least as large as your machine's physical memory), and try hibernation again? If the hibernation fails, please reboot and attach to this report the file /var/log/kern.log.0 If you cannot revert, or if the hibernation fails, the output of the following commands could also be useful: uname -a sudo lspci -vv sudo lspci -vvn sudo dmidecode Thanks for your work on this bug report! -- eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper) https://launchpad.net/bugs/75177 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 75177] Re: eMachines m6805: vbetool fails to restore from hibernate in edgy (ok in dapper)
Seems to be a kernel issue. This http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-298903.html";>thread suggested trying a new kernel, so I built the dev kernel for edgy, and now I can hibernate and resume just fine. Of course nothing is that simple: with the new kernel, ndiswrapper doesn't work, but bcm43xx does-- reverse of my experience with 2.6.17. Still some small issues with bcm43xx not getting the right bitrate at startup, but anyway I can suspend now. Just for the record, I had tried suspend without ndiswrapper loaded and it didn't help, so that's not the issue.
