upgraded to jessie, resume from suspend broken on desktop

Yesterday I upgraded a desktop from wheezy to jessie (32-bit/386 installation).

sources.list:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie contrib non-free main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates contrib non-free main
deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free

I used apt-get -d dist-upgrade and then completed the process with apt-get dist-upgrade.

After I resume from suspend now, I can hear the desktop waking up, but the monitor never comes back on.

I tried "blindly" switching to a terminal (ctrl-alt-f4) and pressing ctrl-alt-del but the system didn't reboot. I did a cold shut-down. I replicated the problem by suspending from the lightdm log in screen (after logging out of xfce) and got the same results.

Hibernate works.

I found this bug report but not sure if its relevant
[pm-utils] Screen freezes after resume from suspend on HO Probook 4540s

Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:06:43 +0800 [...] Package: pm-utils Version: 1.4.1-12

I have pm-utils 1.4.1-15 installed.

This is on a Gateway desktop model number MFATXPNT MDW 500XL

Gateway monitor Model name FPD1730

What kernel are you running?

Try using the newest kernel available.

In the earlier days of 3.1x, my Ivy Bridge chip/set had issues with suspend/resume that later went away. Until then, I'd have to blindly shut down (I'd switch to a VT, CTRL+DEL+ALT didn't work; I'd blindly log in, blindly issue a halt command).

If all else fails, give us some output from lspci to work with, so we know a little more about your hardware. A quick search just gave me an Amazon and eBay link, a few tech support requests, yet no real info on the hardware other than CPU speed.

Linux gateway 3.16-3-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.5-1 (2014-10-10) i686 GNU/Linux

I don't see there's a newer kernel available. I booted the 486 kernel but that didn't make any difference.

This is on my mom's computer and pretty soon won't be around to work on it anymore. I did figure out a workaround. I switch to a terminal, log in as root, type in pm-suspend. Suspend works, resume works. I can switch back to the GUI by Ctrl-Alt-F7.

I've also found a way that I can test the suspend without doing a cold shut down if resume fails. I switch to a terminal, log in as root, enter "sleep 60s ; reboot". When I resume and get nothing, the system will reboot automatically.

Hope that helps someone.

Anyway, thanks for your response. Here's my lscpi output, and cpuinfo at the bottom:

Ok, I see mention of an nVidia chip... are you using the proprietary drivers, or the nVidia binary blob?

Try adding nomodeset to the kernel boot line when you turn on the computer. If GRUB is your bootloader: highlight the entry you normally use to boot, press TAB. Add nomodeset somewhere on that line, and press F10 to continue booting. See if this improves the situation. If so, add nomodeset so it's used at every boot (I typically do this by running dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to let DPKG manage this so it's always added in case another package tries to add its own changes).

If not, you may need to install the binary drivers from nVidia.com, it may be a power management issue with the card and open source drivers.

Right after I upgraded to jessie, the video froze when gdm started loading. I blacklisted the nouveau kernel module and that fixed that problem.

I did try appending nomodeset to the kernel command line (via grub) as you suggested, but that didn't make any difference.

As for what X is using, apparently the nouveau driver, and then VESA mode is being set automatically. So as you can imagine, even without the resume problem, I notice the graphics are frequently sluggish during general use.

I installed the nvidia-support and nvidia-kernel packages, which as I recall installed the 304xx legacy driver. I then ran the nvidia xconfig but received a message (in the log) that I couldn't use the 304xx driver. X failed to start at all until I removed the newly create xorg.conf file.

As I understand it, the 173xx legacy driver is required for the chipset she's using (GeForce FX 5200), but the 173xx was removed from jessie because it fails to build against the xorg-server packages.


Is nouveau ok for an FX5200 Nvidia graphic card?

Postby kmathern » 2014-09-19 17:32 [...] For Wheezy and earlier releases there's a 173xx series nvidia driver that can be installed for the FX5200 card The 173xx nvidia driver has been removed from sid & Jessie because the highest Xorg version it supports is the 1.15 version (sid & Jessie are using Xorg 1.16). So nouveau is the only option for sid & Jessie (unless you want to use the vesa or fbdev driver)
