Public bug reported:
I tried suspending on Hardy 64 bit version, updated to latest packages
yesterday - Installed from Hardy alpha 5. Running kernel 2.6.24-14-rt
(realtime kernel, stock from repos) as of yesterday. Dont know what the
relevant package is.
After trying to return from suspend, the password prompt did come up -
but keyboard or mouse did not work at all. I tried unplugging them and
plugging them back in, no help. Even ctrl-alt-SysRq key combo did not
work - no lights on keyboard or mouse either, like USB power wouldnt be
coming to them.
At this point, I didnt have an SSH server on the comp so I could have
logged in and restarted, but I had to do a hard reset. This caused
missing data on all my drives, including root and home - I got GRUB
error 17 on next boot, had to boot with a live cd and repair root, home
and storage partitions with fsck - after which I can now boot up, but
cannot log in as any other user but root - the file system check moved
all my home folders to lost+found as numbered files. Im still recovering
from this disaster, and cant yet access all the files on that computer.
Id rather not try to recreate this behaviour, for obvious reasons. I
also noticed this seems to be a common problem, from googling around a
little. Perhaps the suspend option should have a big red warning "does
not work on many systems and may cause data corruption"? :)
My machine is AMD 5000+ X2, with AM5 mobo with NVidia chipset. I have
never before tried suspending - not on Gutsy either. 4 GB ram, Nvidia
8600 GT display.
If you have ideas about what logs would be useful, please tell me and
Ill try to get them out of that comp. I hope I dont need to reinstall -
Im not sure about how many data blocks might have been moved to
lost+found on root partition.
