penalvch: We discovered in Bug #1175504, also relating to HP Compaq nx6325, you kindly suggested to Tobiasz "As a potential WORKAROUND, are you able to hibernate following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/Hibernate ?" Following your link we had success with hibernate using... sudo -s echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk echo disk > /sys/power/state although we had no joy encapsulating this into a script to be called from a desktop icon.
Also from http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-14-04/ sudo pm-hibernate This has worked several times in succession and takes about 60 seconds to resume with zero battery drain whilst hibernated, so is ideal; better for us than suspend. Although the author goes on to give a method to 'Enable Hibernate in System Tray Menu' it was easier just to put the "sudo pm-hibernate" directly into a desktop launcher or script. Regarding BIOS upgrade http://www.mwiacek.com/www/?q=node/103 says that the change from BIOS F06 to F07 was to 'provide support for AMD processors' and this Compaq nx6325 does contain a 'Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor'. The HP BIOS link you gave http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=1849084&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=2104 allows download of e.g. sp35894.exe that is a DOS/Windows executable! Maybe the method by Richlv http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/BIOS-upgrade-with-Linux/td-p/296487 will work. As the laptop and Xubuntu is now working perfectly I would rather not upgrade the BIOS, with the inherent risk of upgrade, at this point although I realise it might help discover the problem with suspend. We may attempt a BIOS upgrade some day when the laptop is not so depended on. Having got hibernation working a few times I realise I only tried for suspend as the hibernation option in Ubuntu 14.04 was missing. It is a pity this cannot be re-enabled simply by clicking a setup box. Hopefully in future upgrades the missing hibernate can be default enabled as before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1416348 Title: Suspend only works once, fails second time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1416348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
