Bug Description

All testet Ubuntu version 11.04 - 13.04 doesn't wake up after standby. After clicking on standby, the notebook goes to sleep, but he doesn't wake up anymore but makes a cold boot.

There is a workaround how to fix the problem:

1. Open following file with a texteditor as root
/etc/default/grub

2. Search for this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

3. Replace it with:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_sleep=nonvs"
(add acpi_sleep=nonvs)

I don't know what "acpi_sleep=nonvs" makes, but after adding this, standby works perfectely.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Also, I'll do some research and see what acpi_sleep=nonvs is doing.

From sleep.c, this is what setting nonvs does:

/*

 * and to restore them during the subsequent resume. Windows does that also for
 * suspend to RAM. However, it is known that this mechanism does not work on
 * all machines, so we allow the user to disable it with the help of the
 * 'acpi_sleep=nonvs' kernel command line option.

I see many Sony systems with quirks in acpisleep_dmi_table[].

Can you run the following and post the output:
sudo dmidecode -t system

Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) wrote :

@Valentin,

I added a quirk for your system and created a test kernel. The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp1113547/

Can you install this kernel and see if it allows your system to suspend/resume properly without using the nonvs parameter?

If this does resolve this bug, I'll send the fix upstream and to the ubuntu kernel.

Thanks in advance!

I installed your test kernel, I restartet the PC and tested suspend and resume (suspend to RAM) - they're working now also without the nonvs parameter! :-)

I also still have this problem (but I don't know if it has something to do with my SONY Vaio or if it is a bug in Unity/Compiz): https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1113325
