Thanks for the fix. This should be made permanent, as the 8600 definitely requires video post. I assume the Dell Inc..config file is used to set up the /etc/default/acpi-support file, where it defines variables such as POST_VIDEO - is this true?
I have found a slightly different but related solution. My problem was quite odd. Resume didn't work in Tribe 5, but then started working for a while, then stopped working when I tried and subsequently uninstalled the fglrx driver, then started working again at some point for no known reason, then stopped working again after I tried and again uninstalled fglrx. I had POST_VIDEO set to true in /etc/default/acpi-support but resume wasn't working properly because none of the scripts in resume.d were getting executed. In fact *nothing* after the line 'echo -n mem >/etc/power/state' in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh was being executed - if I included a line such as 'echo test > /etc/acpi/logfile' there would be no such logfile. The fix I found is to force the post immediately after the suspend in /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, ie by adding this line immediately after 'echo -n mem >/etc/power/state': vbetool dpms on Now all the scripts in /etc/acpi/resume.d get run (including the line 'vbetool dpms on' in 15-video-post.sh). The 'echo test > /etc/acpi/logfile' also works fine. I checked using recovery mode which was much faster - it's a real pain rebooting Gnome every time resume fails. By the way, this isn't a duplicate of 121653 - this bug occurs with the open source drivers; that one occurs with the fgrlx driver. The fglrx driver fails on suspend; this failure is on resume. -- [gutsy] suspend/resume is broken on Inspiron 8600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
