Having problems with suspend... Have Zotac Ion with Ubuntu 2.6.28.

I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst with nano

nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

and added the bold text

Code:
title           Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid            b37c96fb-8fff-469d-922e-8b8a7f87d5d0
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=b37c96fb-8fff-469d-922e-8b8a7f87d5d0 ro quiet splash [b]usbcore.autosuspend=-1[/b]
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet

saved, no problems (have writing permission).
After reboot: Still the same problem: when i select suspend in ubuntu, the screen goes black, harddisk powers down, but the cpu fan keeps spinning, and the system boots up again in 3 seconds. The /boot/grub/menu.lst still contains "usbcore.autosuspend=-1".
Please help me, I'm new to linux!

please post the following
- /var/log/pm-suspend.log
- /var/log/syslog
- /var/log/messages

which nvidia driver are you using?

i had a same issue with the newest nvidia 190.x drivers and the nvidia driver was refusing to enter suspend mode..

is there a usb device present that is triggering the resume instantaneously?

Intel Core2 Q8200 - GigaByte GA-E7AUM-DSH2 - 8GiB DDR2 - Recom 8b - Hauppauge PVR150 - 2* Acer AL2216w - Philips 26" CRT - Sanyo PLV-Z5

The two other logs are too long to post.

Using newest nvidia (190).
I unplug the usb-keyboard right when i've pushed suspend (don't think this is the problem).

Also, found an error elsewhere: PM device 03.5 failed to suspend: error -1, device 03.5 is Nvidia MCP79...

Thanks!


NEWS: I uninstalled the new (190x) driver and installed the old 185x driver. It all works now!! Smile

Ok, I've connected my Zotac to my lcd-tv (samsung 32") through HDMI.

In ubuntu the screen seems zoomed in (cannot see top/bottom 5%). I've tried various settings on my tv, nothing works. (I can see the whole of the bios-screen, so i think it is the nvidia driver). How can I get rid of this overscan in ubuntu?

(In XBMC I can calibrate the image correctly to my lcd-tv...)

man, i've been fighting with this thing all night.

I just can't seem to get Xorg to work. The nvidia driver via the website installs fine but when i try to start x i keep getting errors like this:


waiting for X server to shut down ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log


when i try to use Xorg -configure to create a valid xorg config (since the nvidia util dind't give me one) i get this:

Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.
Configuration failed.
ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log


i'm going insane here, i've configure this on at least 5 other boxes without EVERY having a problem.

Thanks for any help.

had to add these lines to xorg.conf:

mhh..for now..just 23.976hz missing =)
any idea why i cant select the modeline resolutions within xbmc??


complete xorg.conf

I did try that but I'm still having problems with refresh rates! Sad

I have a full Ubuntu Desktop with XBMC stable release running on an Asrock ION 330 but I do have one major problem left which is bugging me and it's the final thing I'd like to resolve before I can fully enjoy my system.

Right before copy-pasting stuff from your xorg.conf into mine I was having problem with 24p material. Obvious motion judder with camera panning scenes. When I added the "DynamicTwinView" "False" option into my xorg.conf and enabled refresh rates, problems seemed to be solved but the screen was schifted into the upper-left corner of my TV. So I was seeing half of the picture.

I then found your post and I copied parts of your xorg.conf into now mine looks like this:

I have no idea what the "modeline" lines in this file mean but apparently they solved the 24p problem. My XBMC menu is also displayed in 24Hz since the appearance settings tell me the resolution is 1920x1080@24hz. I'd rather see this at a higher refresh rate but I don't really care much about this a long as my movies work correctly.

BUT! (you know this was coming... ;-))
When I try to play regular DVD ISO (PAL) files, XBMC crashed back to the Ubuntu login screen. After XBMC automatically restarted the DVD ISO will play but is shown in 50Hz! Which give really horrible motion judder!
The crash only happens once, but after playing another HD file it reoccurs.

Please give me some advice, I really don't have a clue what to do next...

I had the same problem, my Zotac-A would sleep properly the first time, but every other time it would wake right back up. I found the solution here in the forums (dont have a link) but I copied and pasted the info to a file for later on:

[INDENT]To fix power button suspend problem, copy the menu.lst file from this directory to /boot/grub/menu.lst

quote:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=58350

flighttothemoon - I dont know what the issue is exactly, with mine, I just went to System Settings and set the shutdown funtion to Suspend, and I can suspend mine with the remote.

nugentgl - I had to edit the grub menu file and add "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" to the end of the first 'kernel' line...

ex.

title XBMCLive
kernel /vmlinuz... usbcore.autosuspend=-1

So, either get into a terminal screen (CTRL+ALT+F2) or through putty.exe...
Code:

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

then add the necessary "usbcore.autosuspend=-1" to the end of the 'kernel' line and reboot.
[/INDENT]

... thats what I did, and it worked great

I applied the boot option usbcore.autoyadayadayada and it works great. I can sleep/resume fine using my MCE remote.

However when it's sleeping/suspended it randomly wakes up, sometimes after a few minutes sometimes a few hours.

It's in my bedroom and connects to the network via wifi.

I have disabled all ACPI wake events in the BIOS i.e. PXE, WOL etc...

My /proc/acpi/wakeup is set to all disabled except for the power button.

I have NO usb devices connected to it other than my MCE remote IR receiver.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.0.4 + updates.

Can anyone else confirm there isn't a ghost in my bedroom turning it on each time in an attempt to freak me and my wife out lolConfused

BTW Love this board + Xbmc & VDPAU

I have no problem with suspend, it's working great. Hibernate doesnt' seem to work...

Also, is there a way to make the computer power on from the ir reciever (not from suspend)

I notice if i press the power button that it DOES activate the IR receiver's light.

Why do you want to use hibernate? Resume from hibernate takes way longer than resume from suspend.
