Subject: pm-utils: Resume from suspend stopped working on Sony Vaio laptop

Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:18:09 -0800

Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.2.6.1-3
Severity: important


Hello,

Resume from suspend stopped working on my Sony Vaio VGN-NW130D laptop.
Apparently, what caused the problem was an upgrade of the pm-utils
package from version 1.2.6.1-1 to 1.2.6.1-3. After trying all sorts
of things with no success, I decided to uninstall pm-utils and install
uswsusp (which I got from sid, as there's no version currently available
in testing). Using the command s2ram from the uswsusp package, the machine
suspends/resumes with no problems. I would like to downgrade pm-utils to
its previous version to see if that fixes the problem, but I don't know
where I can get the old version from. I'm willing to do some testing in
order to pin this problem down.

Thank you,

Adriano

I've put the old version online at [1]. It would be great if you could test that
version.

Please describe exactly what is happening on resume.

PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I uninstalled the package uswsusp and then downgraded pm-utils from version 1.2.6.1-3 to 1.2.6.1-1, but that didn't solve the problem. So, I'm afraid I filed the bug against the wrong package.

You asked what happens on resume. Afaict, the machine is frozen. The hard disk spins, the sleeping light (an LED which blinks when the machine is sleeping) goes back off, and the power light (which goes off when the machine is sleeping) goes back on. The wireless LED doesn't go back on. The screen is black. Trying to switch to a terminal has no effect. Pinging the machine gets no response (even when using a wired connection before suspending).

I ran the pm-suspend as you instructed (PM_DEBUG=true pm-suspend). The log file (/var/log/pm-suspend.log) is attached.

Even if this issue is not directly related to the pm-utils package, I would greatly appreciate any advice in trying to find a solution. I suspect the problem was caused by some package upgrade, since I haven't changed anything in my configuration.

Thank you very much,

Adriano

Hi Michael,

I've made some progress on this. I can now reliably suspend/resume by running the following in the command line (as root):

pm-suspend --quirk-s3-mode

By creating the file /etc/pm/config.d/defaults with the single line:

ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-s3-mode"

I can simply run "pm-suspend" from the command line and everything works. However, if I try to put the computer to sleep by using any "Suspend to RAM" button in KDE, the machine suspends ok but freezes on resume. In the latter case, checking the file /var/log/pm-suspend.log reveals the following line

Initial commandline parameters: --quirk-s3-bios

When pm-suspend is issued from the command line, the same line in the log file is:

Initial commandline parameters:

without any parameters. So, when suspend is triggered by clicking on any "Suspend to RAM" button in kde, somehow the --quirk-s3-bios quirk gets appended to the pm-suspend command, and this prevents the machine from resuming successfully. Indeed, if I run "pm-suspend --quirk-s3-bios" from the command line the machine hangs on resuming.

So, now I have to find out why the --quirk-s3-bios quirk is being added to pm-suspend command, and how to prevent that.

By the way, I wonder if I should contact the guys responsible for the package hal-info and report that the --quirk-s3-mode quirk is necessary for this laptop to suspend/resume successfully. This is what lshal reports:

system.hardware.product = 'VGN-NW130D'  (string)

Thank you,

Adriano

Ok, problem solved. The problem was that I had "quirk.s3_bios" enabled
by default. Doing "lshal | grep quirk" produced:

power_management.quirk.s3_bios = true  (bool)

In order to have suspend/resume working correctly, I needed to disable
"quirk.s3_bios" and enable "quirk.s3_mode". I did that by creating the
file /etc/hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi with the
following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<!-- Created by pm-utils -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="Sony Corporation">
      <match key="system.hardware.product" string="VGN-NW130D">
        <match key="system.firmware.version" string="R0170Y4">
          <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.vendor" int="0x1002">
            <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.product" int="0x9553">
              <merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
              <merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
            </match>
          </match>
        </match>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

The file was created by running (as root):

pm-suspend --quirk-s3-mode --store-quirks-as-fdi

and later editing it (as the original file enabled "quirk-s3-mode" but
didn't disable "quirk-s3-bios"). After restarting the hal daemon,
"lshal | grep quirk" produces

power_management.quirk.s3_bios = false  (bool)
power_management.quirk.s3_mode = true  (bool)

As I said before, I suspect some package upgrade broke things up,
as everything was working fine until about two weeks ago. Here
are some suspects:

adriano@vaio:/var/log$ less dpkg.log | grep upgrade | grep hal
2009-12-05 09:47:24 upgrade libkephal4 4:4.3.1-1 4:4.3.2-2
2009-12-07 06:46:47 upgrade libhal1 0.5.13-4 0.5.13-6
2009-12-07 06:46:47 upgrade libhal-storage1 0.5.13-4 0.5.13-6
2009-12-07 06:46:47 upgrade hal 0.5.13-4 0.5.13-6
2009-12-11 20:46:12 upgrade hal-info 20090716-1 20091130-1

adriano@vaio:/var/log$ less dpkg.log | grep upgrade | grep udev
2009-12-14 06:58:30 upgrade udev 146-5 149-1
2009-12-14 06:58:31 upgrade libudev0 146-5 149-1
2009-12-14 06:58:38 upgrade libgudev-1.0-0 146-5 149-1

So, I guess you can close this bug. Should I report this
to the hal-info maintainers so that they can update their
database with my laptop model (Sony Vaio VGN-NW130D)?

Thanks,

Adriano

I observe the same bug with a Sony VAIO VPCW12M1E and the same solution works fine.

found 561877 1.4.1-8
tags 561877 + patch
thanks

I studied this problem on latest pm-utils in testing. pm-utils has now
obsoleted HAL and ship quirks db by itself. There is a typo in
20-video-quirk-pm-sony.quirkdb that adds ``--quirk-s3-bios'' to all
machines. That option causes hard freeze on nearly all later models of
SONY Vaio and I believe this is the cause for those problems reported
here.

A patch is attached for your reference. This is a very serious bug
because it breaks suspend / resume on all SONY Vaio models so please
consider fixing it a.s.a.p. Thanks.

Maintainer: Tim Dijkstra <tim@famdijkstra.org>

Description: 
 pm-utils   - utilities and scripts for power management
Closes: 561877
Changes: 
 pm-utils (1.4.1-10) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Stop installing sleep.d/55NetworkManager. Current
     NetworkManager does not even expose this API any more, so the
     sleep()/wake() calls just always fail. As NM is apparently able to deal
     with suspends just fine, no need to waste cycles on this.
   * Drop 90-nm-proper-wakeup.patch: Obsolete with above change.
   * Add debian/time-hook-execution.patch: Measure time that hooks take and
     print them in the log. Also, disable actual suspend call to make hook
     optimization/measure turnarounds more convenient. This is not applied by
     default as the date calls themselves add overhead; just keep it in the
     source package for future use.
   * Add 15-video_quirks_on_x86_only.patch: Only run the video quirk handlers
     on x86 and x86_64, as they are quite expensive.
   * Add 16-no-powersave-before-suspend.patch: Calling pm-powersave before
     pm-suspend is very slow, it. e. g. takes > 1.5 seconds on a Nexus 7. This
     does not nearly compensate the potentially slightly slower suspend
     operation in low power mode, so disable it.
   * Drop the "shopt" bashism from 15-video_quirks_on_x86_only.patch which
     somehow slipped in there. (LP: #1091824)
   * Lift ethtool suggests to recommends, to make disable_wol work in a default
     installation. (LP: #1081785)
   * 20-video-quirk-pm-sony.quirkdb: Fix '||' typo, leading to suspend failure
     on Vaios. (Closes: #561877)
