What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.i have a VPCF11Z1E running ubuntu 10.04 amd64.
2.i either click on suspend or hibernate, the screen shut off, also harddisk 
but not the fan. the power led light is not blinking (just stay on)
3. i wait for a while and try to resume by slightly clicking on power button 
but nothing happen. then the only choice is to press long time the power button 
to switch off completely my vaio. when i restart of course it start from 
scratch and i lose all openend windows. 



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 3 19:31:57 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anyone having this issue ? i don't have this problem on windows 7.

ps: Seven is using easily for nothing 1,5 GB or ram, ubuntu just 350 MB !! 
that's a big difference. i want my ubuntu working.

what is working well :
- nvidia (after active it and reboot i had to insert the 2 lines in xorg.conf 
and it came back on the 1920*1080 resolution)
- sound speaker after downloading the package recommended in the issue for the 
mic, and configure and make and make install
- bluetooth after update
- wifi ootb
- ethernet (strange) : just tried it. st nothing but after reboot and cable 
already inserted, everything is fine
- sd card ok
- display off key working well


other issues :
- vertical / horizontal scroll on touch pad (but did not try to fix it till now)
- brightness : the keys are working but do not permit to change anything

thanks for your help and feedback

I also have the VPCF11Z1E, but I'm using gentoo, amd64, kernel 2.6.34. It also 
worked with gentoo's kernel 2.6.32.

I think the main difference is that ubuntu has X.org 7.5 while I'm on 7.4. By 
the way, are you using nvidia's drivers on the nouveau's driver?

For me suspend to RAM is working well, that is, I close the lid, the hard disk 
suspends and the power button blinks orange. I open the lid, click the power 
button and a few seconds after everything is running.

nvidia driver version is the 195.36.24.

is there any link between xorg and suspend mode ? i do not think so but i maybe 
wrong ...

question : how can i try the web cam on ubuntu/linux ?
I know it is working as i tried to install a retail version of snow leopard and 
during the logging setup i could see my face taken by the web cam (which 
suprise me i can say ;)) ). Since the screen is not recognized (EDID problem 
with sony screen i guess) i use osx through virtualbox and the better geekbench 
score i got was 3699 which seems to be a good score regarding the scores on the 
geekbench website.

I'm using the same nvidia driver version.

I think the main difference is that x.org 7.5 already has support for kernel 
mode switch and ubuntu uses it, but as far as I know nivida-drivers doesn't 
support it. On gentoo I don't have it enabled: I'm using uvesafb (user mode 
vesa). VT switches just fine and I get 1280x1024 resolution on the text 
consoles.

To try the webcam in ubuntu... that's gnome based. From the top of my head 
cheese or ekiga will do. You can also go for skype, but skype is not open 
source.

ok, still fighting for the suspend / hibernate feature to work !!

what i tried :
- make sure swap was enable so swapoff, blkid, swapon
- resume in grub file 
- use s2ram -f

but nothing worked !

BUT i installed xfce and login in xfce : suspend is working !
but it doesn't in gnome !! Can someone tell me how to change something in gnome 
to make it using same stuff as xfce ?
i do prefer gnome since :
- i prefer the look
- currently gnome is using only 350MB and xfce 1,4GB (which is strange but 
that's the case)

Can someone help me ?

new progress :
- xfce had also the problem after a while
- coming back to gnome and reading bug pages regarding lucid ... like this one 
which report the exact issue i have : 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554695
well i removed the sd card (i put it in the sd card slot just after the fresh 
lucid install to verify it was working and never got it out) and tried to 
suspend => work so resume ok ! it was this f____g sd card !!! hopefully i ll 
find a way to suspend with a card mounted ! don't know if it goes the same with 
a usb hardrive plugged !

Hi,

I use a Linux debian unstable with 2.6.34 kernel.

I have enabled the NVidia driver. I use Gnome + Compiz.

And I haven't issue with suspend or hibernate. Work well !

I have to do other tests. Then, I will confirm.

Regards,

Nicolas

I still can't hibernate. so going on suspend is not good enough as after a 
while (and not long) in suspend mode the battery gets off.

If anyone is using lucid amd64 and could give me hopes !!

do i have to go on debian instead ?

I have 2.6.35 and suspend / hibernate is not working :(
before I added to kernel line acpi_sleep=nonvs but any Arch update broke me 
again suspend/hib :(

Today I tried Ubuntu 10.04 livecd and suspend is there working without 
problems...

I'm going to try Tuxonice but this is not very easy compile on arch (maybe I 
made some mistakes but mkinitcpio was not find for example uvesafb module)

Also have the same issue Fedora 13 VPCF11.  I've noted that I can duplicate the 
problem when switching terminals CTRL+ALT+F7 and then switching 
back,CTRL+ALT+F1 but not always.  Incidentally, I can't see any virtual 
terminals when switching.

I don't know if this helps, but I have a Vaio S series 12 and the 
suspend/hybernate functions have worked wonderfully under Ubuntu 10.4.

Today, however I started to have problems with both functions. Apparently what 
triggered the problem was a forgotten SD card in the slot. If I remove the 
card, suspend works, and if I leave it in, it fails and I have to hard-reboot.

I'm posting this here because I've been using the information in this project 
in order to get stuff working on my laptop, so I suspect the hardware is very 
similar between the S and F series.
Maybe it'll help you guys get to the root of your problem.

After installing tuxonice on ubuntu 10.04 hibernate is now working.
For the moment i use the default config which store everything in the swap 
partition.
I once have an unsuccessfull hibernate but it went back to my open session so i 
lost nothing. I guess the where not enough space to store all my session with 
the vmware systems opened.
Will try in future to store in a dedicated file.
So for me the issue is close for now on.

I'm also having issues with suspend-to-ram.

when running "hibernate-ram" everything seems to work fine, display switches 
off and power led blinks orange.

but when i press a key or the power button, the laptop reboots - as if it was 
powered down before.

has someone else experienced this behavoir?

@16 I have the same issue. The machine suspends okay -- all off, flashing 
orange light -- but when resuming, it goes straight to a hard boot.

I'm running Ubuntu Maverick. Suspend worked 100% okay under Ubuntu Lucid.

I would like to find a detailed guide on how to diagnose resume issues. I'm 
more than happy to do the legwork.

Anyone having issues with suspend/resume, please also take a look at the

mainline kernels.

@auxbuss Thank you!  That link did the trick for me.  I can now resume in 
Ubuntu 10.10.

I'm now having a really odd problem though.  After resuming my screen is dim, 
and I don't have brightness control working.  I can't figure out how to make it 
bright again.

I noticed losing the brightness controls, as well. I'm lost as to when that 
happened!

However, you can set brightness in the nvidia X control panel. It's under 
"Color correction". The setting is also saved between reboots, which is useful.

@auxbuss The "brightness" control in nvidia-settings does not adjust the 
backlight.  It is better than nothing though.  It adjusts the colors being 
displayed, but the power of the backlight is not changed.

Tried many, many solutions -- nothing worked reliably, all hit or miss. 
Installed acpitool and have gotten several successful suspend/resumes in a row.

pm-suspend did not work reliably, even with various --quirk* options set. Same 
for kernel boot options, no affect, or detrimental.

Hope to have this one solved, days wasted, at some point you have to get some 
real (paying) work done!

acpitool (i.e. from terminal, acpitool -s) has solved the suspend/resume 
problem for me -- all suspend/resume successful now, while via gnome menu or 
pm-suspend, 50% at best.

For those with the F13 and probably USB 3.0 issues when suspending/hibernating, 
I found that there is a solution:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998

Posts #7 and #8 from the following Ubuntu forum have also solved my issues 
(don't forget to switch 'xhci' for 'xhci_hcd', you can confirm it by running 
the command 'lsmod | grep xhci' and cheking which module is loaded):

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1444822


Also, due to issues with kernel 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 I have also changed my Grub 
default configuration file, so the NVIDIA card is not an issue when resuming. 
In attachment is my own "/etc/default/grub" file. If you want to try and change 
yours, backup it first, change it and then run the following commands:

  sudo update-grub2
  sudo update-initramfs -u

Thanks - that would explain my problem on earlier kernels.

2.6.37 seems to suspend properly (although I don't know if USB 3.0 works, not 
having any devices to test it - but lsusb picks up the 3.0 hub).

Please not, I have had problems resuming from suspend using the Nouveau drivers.

sigmadraconis you save my life with your grub file.
I've changed my GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT like in yours and execute the 2 
commands you gave after saving my grub file. Now i can resume from hibernate so 
i guess i also can resume from sleep mode. Before that i could hibernate or go 
to sleep mode but could never resume.

only issue now : it seems my screen is not bright as it should. Don't know what 
to do as the widget to control brightness is at the top of what it can. If 
someone has an idea why i have that ? ...

Just a note on my GRUB file in comment #26, The argument "acpi_sleep=nonvs" in 
the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT string is most likely NOT NEEDED. So, if some of 
you are using this argument, you may want to try and update the 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT string to not have this acpi_sleep argument and then 
try and hibernate/sleep with your laptop. 

See if it works!

If you get stuck trying to resume from sleep (i.e. keyboard responsive, but 
black screen), try ctrl-alt-F2 and wait a sec for screen to turn white; then 
double click ctrl-alt-F1.

Resume from suspend works 80% of the time for me, or more, but when it doesn't, 
above trick comes to the rescue.  Have not rebooted in weeks.

it goes to sleep, but when i wake it, system reboots. hibernation works however.

additional info: i've just made a clean install from the latest 11.04 64-bit 
CD. i made no changes to the system. it installed the nvidia-current driver by 
default.
