Public bug reported: This problem occurs with the most current snapshot of Hoary (kernel 2.6.24-14). The machine is a Shuttle SN95G5 nforce3 chipset with an Athlon64 X2 processor. The video card is an Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT. This is a desktop machine with a wired LAN connection.
I can suspend to RAM and hibernate and both processes appear to finish properly. However, when I then try to resume, in both cases I get the same result. The screen stays black and X never displays. The machine is not entirely dead, though, because the HDD light blinks every 5-10 seconds. Also, if I press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I get a flurry of disk activity and then it goes back to the 5-10 second blinking. Fortunately, I can use the Magic SysRq key combos to sync, unmount, and reboot the machine. The network is not active during this and I cannot SSH into the machine or even ping it. These results occur using the binary Nvidia driver. I did try using the nv driver as well, but it was a couple weeks ago and so it isn't quite a fair comparison. In that case, resuming from a suspend did actually hang the machine requiring a manual reset. I was able to successfully hibernate and resume the machine with the nv driver, however. I really hope I can get this issue resolved as it is one of the only features not working with the latest Ubuntu on my system. I have not specified a package for this bug as I'm not sure if it should go against the kernel, the Nvidia driver, pm-utils, or something else. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Resuming from suspend or hibernate results in black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
