Toshiba Satellite Laptop, 650MHz PIII I can suspend the laptop quite fine by either "echo 1 > /sys/acpi/sleep" or "echo 4 > /sys/acpi/sleep". However, after that I have no way of waking up the computer. No keyboard combination does anything, and the power switch only shuts the computer off. acpidmp output available as attachment #3452 [details] : http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=3452&action=view
Does the patch in http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3390 helps you?
I don't understand "the power switch only shutds the computer off". Isn't the computer already off when you press the power button to wake it up? If no, then it failed to soft-power-off. Also, try 'echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep' after power goes out, close the LID, then re-open the LID does the machine power on?
(Sorry for being inactive wrt this case; the laptop is shared, and I only get to use it occasionally. People mostly use Windows with it.) I am not sure whether the computer is off or in some sleep state. I supposed it was in a sleep state where I could wake it up somehow. I will try the suggestions (and a newer kernel; newest -mm has the newest ACPI, right?) when I get to use the machine the next time.
I compiled 2.4.10-rc2-mm1 (which I gather includes the patch). Now the computer does appear to do something after "echo 1 > /sys/acpi/sleep" and close-open lid. Harddisk spins up shortly, some leds turn on, but screen stays blank and it doesn't react to anything (no caps lock led etc).
I tried 'echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep' briefly, too, but I got echo: write error: operation not permitted (Did it as root, as user the error is different).
When doing 'echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep' I got the following into the dmesg: Stopping tasks: ==================================| Restarting tasks... done Stopping tasks: ==================================| Restarting tasks... done ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:07.0[A]: no GSI - using IRQ 11
same with unpatched 2.6.10?
When doing "echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep" as root, all I get is root@hornet:/home/vherva>echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep echo: write error: operation not permitted root@hornet:/home/vherva>echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep echo: write error: operation not permitted root@hornet:/home/vherva>dmesg | tail Stopping tasks: ========================================| Restarting tasks... done Stopping tasks: ========================================| Restarting tasks... done
To clarify, the above was with 2.6.10 vanilla.
still an issue with 2.6.22.stable?
Unfortunately, I'm unable to try - the laptop in question died a good while ago.
