I booted on the Hardy Heron alpha 4 liveCD and installed from there on a 5GB primary ext3 partition.
No problem whatsoever during liveCD session and install. Everything went smooth. I have my home on a separate partition of course, and I created a "hardy" user just to play around.

'''EXA issues with intel graphic card driver (945, 965):'''

Hardy comes with the newest Xorg:

root@poliahu:/# Xorg -version
This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.
X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90
Release Date: 5 September 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu3)

and with X autoconfiguration (as far as I understand). So hardy installs a xorg.conf, but it is barebones. Most of the config is handled internally by the new server, and is handled fairly well. My screen and card were recognized, it configured it with the correct driver and resolution. I had 3D accel out of the box too, so that compiz was working without any tinkering. All good up to there.

The only problems I encountered in X (once more, this is only applicable to intel graphic hardware) were

(1) the trackpad was working but the scroll function was not (in previous version of ubuntu, moving your finger up and down in the right part of the trackpad would provide this functionality, here not). This is apparently a known regression (can't find the reference, but read it in some launchpad or ubuntu forum post). As it is a known regression, I assume it will be fixed for the final hardy release (?).

(2) The intel driver config adopted by default by the new xorg uses EXA acceleration, which is newer and performs overall better than the XAA. The problem is that on some intel hardware, it performs quite poorly for text processing. I noticed that immediately: when I had no window, or only a terminal around, compiz would be its usual smooth (e.g. when rotating cube or moving windows). With a few windows open, with text (e.g. firefox), compiz would be very jumpy / choppy. Copying over the xorg.conf form my gutsy installation and adding:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
in the "Device" section (where the video intel driver is specified) solved the problem, and now I'm back to the old smooth compiz animations.

Using this -otherwise unmodified xorg.conf- had the side effect of killing my trackpad entirely. Now It's not responsive at all. Again, I expect these things will be ironed out for the final release. Another possibility would be to only add the XAA AccelMethod in the existing xorg.conf (hardy default), but I did not know nor researched how to do that.

[update 2008feb23: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/177492 describe the above problem. It turns out that there is another solution, keeping EXA. Keep the stock xorg.conf (the barebone one installed by default with hardy -clean install-. Just add:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"

in the Section "Device" (so don't put XAA). With these settings, acceleration is smooth across the board (including wiht fonts) and compiz works like a charm. Cherry on the pie: you'll have XV (hardware video), so this means nice and smooth DVD and movie playing, much lighter cpu load, etc... compared to the x11 (software) video driver. As an extra, you can also use the INTEL_BATCH flag, which was reported by the vast majority of intel users to speed up graphical performance significantly (30%+). Put
INTEL_BATCH="1"
in your /etc/environment (I read you can also put it in your .bashrc, but I didn't try that). end update 2008feb23]

'''Multimedia keys don't work with Exaile'''

Another problem I noticed was that the multimedia keys were not operating in exaile. I haven't tested them in rythmbox or other apps.

Apart from that, everything I tested was fine: display, network (wired and wireless), sound (pulseaudio sounds noticeably better, but may be it's self induced), suspend (which worked for a couple of tests, and then I installed uswsusp -s2ram- 0.8, which has always been more reliable for me), haven't tried hibernate, nor bluetooth.

and with X autoconfiguration (as far as I understand). So hardy installs a xorg.conf, but it is barebones. Most of the config is handled internally by the new server, and is handled fairly well. My screen and card were recognized, it configured it with the correct driver and resolution. I had 3D accel out of the box too, so that compiz was working without any tinkering. All good up to there.

The only problems I encountered in X (once more, this is only applicable to intel graphic hardware) were

(1) the trackpad was working but the scroll function was not (in previous version of ubuntu, moving your finger up and down in the right part of the trackpad would provide this functionality, here not). This is apparently a known regression (can't find the reference, but read it in some launchpad or ubuntu forum post). As it is a known regression, I assume it will be fixed for the final hardy release (?).

(2) The intel driver config adopted by default by the new xorg uses EXA acceleration, which is newer and performs overall better than the XAA. The problem is that on some intel hardware, it performs quite poorly for text processing. I noticed that immediately: when I had no window, or only a terminal around, compiz would be its usual smooth (e.g. when rotating cube or moving windows). With a few windows open, with text (e.g. firefox), compiz would be very jumpy / choppy. Copying over the xorg.conf form my gutsy installation and adding:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
in the "Device" section (where the video intel driver is specified) solved the problem, and now I'm back to the old smooth compiz animations.

Using this -otherwise unmodified xorg.conf- had the side effect of killing my trackpad entirely. Now It's not responsive at all. Again, I expect these things will be ironed out for the final release. Another possibility would be to only add the XAA AccelMethod in the existing xorg.conf (hardy default), but I did not know nor researched how to do that.

[update 2008feb23: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/177492 describe the above problem. It turns out that there is another solution, keeping EXA. Keep the stock xorg.conf (the barebone one installed by default with hardy -clean install-. Just add:
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"

in the Section "Device" (so don't put XAA). With these settings, acceleration is smooth across the board (including wiht fonts) and compiz works like a charm. Cherry on the pie: you'll have XV (hardware video), so this means nice and smooth DVD and movie playing, much lighter cpu load, etc... compared to the x11 (software) video driver. As an extra, you can also use the INTEL_BATCH flag, which was reported by the vast majority of intel users to speed up graphical performance significantly (30%+). Put
INTEL_BATCH="1"
in your /etc/environment (I read you can also put it in your .bashrc, but I didn't try that).

'''Multimedia keys don't work with Exaile'''

Another problem I noticed was that the multimedia keys were not operating in exaile. I haven't tested them in rythmbox or other apps.

Apart from that, everything I tested was fine: display, network (wired and wireless), sound (pulseaudio sounds noticeably better, but may be it's self induced), suspend (which worked for a couple of tests, and then I installed uswsusp -s2ram- 0.8, which has always been more reliable for me), haven't tried hibernate, nor bluetooth.

I booted on the Hardy Heron alpha 4 liveCD and installed from there on a 5GB primpary ext3 partition.
No problem whatsoever during liveCD session and install. Everything went smooth. I have my home on a separate partition of course, and I created a "hardy" user just to play around.

I booted on the Hardy Heron alpha 4 liveCD and installed from there on a 5GB primpary ext3 partition.
No problem whatsoever during liveCD session and install. Everything went smooth. I have my home on a separate partition of course, and I created a "hardy" user just to play around.

=== Known Issues ===
Hardy comes with the newest Xorg:

root@poliahu:/# Xorg -version

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions.

X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90
Release Date: 5 September 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu3)
Current Operating System: Linux poliahu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686
Build Date: 19 February 2008 04:52:29PM

and with X autoconfiguration (as far as I understand). So hardy installs a xorg.conf, but it is barebones. Most of the config is handled internally by the new server, and is handled fairly well. My screen and card were recognized, it configured it with the correct driver and resolution. I had 3D accel out of the box too, so that compiz was working without any tinkering. All good up to there.

The only problems I encountered in X were:
(1) the trackpad was working but the scroll function was not (in previous version of ubuntu, moving your finger up and down in the right part of the trackpad would provide this functionality, here not). This is apparently a known regression (can't find the reference, but read it in some launchpad or ubuntu forum post). As it is a known regression, I assume it will be fixed for the final hardy release (?).
(2) The intel driver config adopted by default by the new xorg uses EXA acceleration, which is newer and performs overall better than the XAA. The problem is that on some intel hardware, it performs quite poorly for text processing. I noticed that immediately: when I had no window, or only a terminal around, compiz would be its usual smooth (e.g. when rotating cube or moving windows). With a few windows open, with text (e.g. firefox), compiz would be very jumpy / choppy. Copying over the xorg.conf form my gutsy installation and adding:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
in the "Device" section (where the video intel driver is specified) solved the problem, and now I'm back to the old smooth compiz animations.

Using this -otherwise unmodified xorg.conf- had the side effect of killing my trackpad entirely. Now It's not responsive at all. Again, I expect these things will be ironed out for the final release. Another possibility would be to only add the XAA AccelMethod in the existing xorg.conf (hardy default), but I did not know nor researched how to do that.

another problem I noticed was that the multimedia keys were not operating in exaile. I haven't tested them in rythmbox or other apps.

Apart from that, everything I tested was fine: display, network (wired and wireless), sound (pulseaudio sounds noticeably better, but may be it's self induced), suspend (which worked for a couple of tests, and then I installed uswsusp -s2ram- 0.8, which has always been more reliable for me), haven't tried hibernate, nor bluetooth.

Apart from that, everything I tested was fine: display, network (wired and wireless), sound (pulseaudio sounds noticeably better, but may be it's self induced), suspend (which worked for a couple of tests, and then I installed uswsusp -s2ram- 0.8, which has always been more reliable for me), haven't tried hibernate, nor bluetooth.

poliahu:suspend-0.8 $

I booted on the Hardy Heron alpha 4 liveCD and installed from there on a 5GB primpary ext3 partition.
No problem whatsoever during liveCD session and install. Everything went smooth. I have my home on a separate partition of course, and I created a "hardy" user just to play around.

=== Known Issues ===
Hardy comes with the newest Xorg:
poliahu:suspend-0.8 $ Xorg -version

X Window System Version 1.3.0
Release Date: 19 April 2007
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3
Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu (xorg-server 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.3)
Current Operating System: Linux poliahu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686
Build Date: 18 January 2008
Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
to make sure that you have the latest version.
Module Loader present
poliahu:suspend-0.8 $

and with X autoconfiguration (as far as I understand). So hardy installs a xorg.conf, but it is barebones. Most of the config is handled internally by the new server, and is handled fairly well. My screen and card were recognized, it configured it with the correct driver and resolution. I had 3D accel out of the box too, so that compiz was working without any tinkering. All good up to there.

The only problems I encountered in X were:
(1) the trackpad was working but the scroll function was not (in previous version of ubuntu, moving your finger up and down in the right part of the trackpad would provide this functionality, here not). This is apparently a known regression (can't find the reference, but read it in some launchpad or ubuntu forum post). As it is a known regression, I assume it will be fixed for the final hardy release (?).
(2) The intel driver config adopted by default by the new xorg uses EXA acceleration, which is newer and performs overall better than the XAA. The problem is that on some intel hardware, it performs quite poorly for text processing. I noticed that immediately: when I had no window, or only a terminal around, compiz would be its usual smooth (e.g. when rotating cube or moving windows). With a few windows open, with text (e.g. firefox), compiz would be very jumpy / choppy. Copying over the xorg.conf form my gutsy installation and adding:
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
in the "Device" section (where the video intel driver is specified) solved the problem, and now I'm back to the old smooth compiz animations.

Using this -otherwise unmodified xorg.conf- had the side effect of killing my trackpad entirely. Now It's not responsive at all. Again, I expect these things will be ironed out for the final release. Another possibility would be to only add the XAA AccelMethod in the existing xorg.conf (hardy default), but I did not know nor researched how to do that.

another problem I noticed was that the multimedia keys were not operating in exaile. I haven't tested them in rythmbox or other apps.

Apart from that, everything I tested was fine: display, network (wired and wireless), sound (pulseaudio sounds noticeably better, but may be it's self induced), suspend (which worked for a couple of tests, and then I installed uswsusp -s2ram- 0.8, which has always been more reliable for me), haven't tried hibernate, nor bluetooth.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on a ThinkPad T60

2007-06-19T11:59:15Z

Frigaut: /* ATI Driver, Intel Pro Wireless, and Powernowd Suspend to RAM Fixes */

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn is the current release and works fine on:
* T60 UT-049GE and 2007-72U.
* T60p

The installation worked without any problems. The new network manager is great as it now supports a useful roaming mode. The system includes the new Linux kernel 2.6.20 which provides almost perfect acpi functionality.

Most of the tips in the [[Installing Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on a ThinkPad T60|Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft Guide]], like installing the ATI driver, apply to Feisty as well.

Feisty polishes up Thinkpad support for media buttons (acpi), and gives a much more usable machine immediately following installation than Edgy. This is a distribution to watch for Thinkpad users.

== ATI Driver, Intel Pro Wireless, and Powernowd Suspend to RAM Fixes ==

'''"Out of the box:"'''
*Suspend to RAM fails during suspend, leaving the moon blinking indefinitely.
*At one point, the Ubuntu apt-installed fglrx packages had the driver version 8.33.6, which is one of the versions that supposedly "breaks" suspend to RAM. Resuming from an otherwise successful suspend will cause the machine to resume with a blank screen without the fix below. That said, the current version in Feisty is now 8.34.8, whose release notes say â€œA system hang no longer occurs when attempting to resume from hibernation mode,â€ so if you simply allow Ubuntu to update itself from the internet you can skip that step. Note however if you install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, you may have problems with suspend to RAM not coming back on wakeup, at least with the ATI graphics option on a recent (mid-2007) T60P.
*The Intel Pro Wireless 3945 wireless card will often stop working even after a successful suspend, requiring a restart.

* FR, 2007may9: Actually, I have a different experience with suspend and hibernate, with a T60 15.4" (core 2 duo 2GHz, intel graphic chip 945GM): Both suspend and hibernate work for me. Initially, I had an issue with a slightly corrupted video after resume from suspend (a couple of lines near the bottom right of the screen), that I fixed by using the intel X driver instead of the i810 (that comes stock with ubuntu feisty fawn). Just load xserver-xorg-driver-intel, that will uninstall xserver-xorg-driver-i810. No other modifications necessary, stock acpi-support and xorg.conf. I can also hibernate, but I loose sound when resuming. Restarting alsa does not restore it. UPDATE: I had trouble with the video getting corrupted during the vt switch (vt 7->1) that occurs during the suspend to RAM (or hibernate). These were solved by : (1) using uswsusp (s2ram and s2disk) as s2ram -f -a 3 (forces s3_bios and s3_mode), appending acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode vga=0 to the kernel boot parameters (/boot/grub/menu.lst) and removing splash from the same kernel options. I have done that 8 days ago, and gone through 3 countries, around 50 s2ram and 4-5 s2disk without a hinch (note: I'm still using the intel video drivers)

=== Fixing Suspend to RAM ===

I'm assuming you have the optional Intel Pro Wireless; ignore the line that mentions ipw3945 if you don't have that wireless card.

#'''Disable powernowd during suspend'''
#:''These two edits will disable the powernowd when you suspend, and re-enable it when you resume. For whatever reason, powernowd causes intermittent suspend problems.''
#:*Open a terminal and type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/acpi/suspend.d/10-thinkpad-standby-led.sh</code>
#:*Add to the bottom of the file: <code>/etc/init.d/powernowd stop</code>
#:*Save the file and go back to the terminal.
#:*Type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/acpi/resume.d/90-thinkpad-unstandby-led.sh</code>
#:*Add to the bottom of the file: <code>/etc/init.d/powernowd start</code>
#'''Edit /etc/default/acpi-support file to unload wireless module during suspend and disable video card warm boot'''
#:''These edits will fix the disappearing wireless card and the blank screen on resume problems.''
#:*Open a terminal and type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support</code>
#:*Find the line <code>MODULES=""</code> and change it to <code>MODULES="ipw3945"</code> so that your wireless card module won't disappear after you resume.
#:*Next, find the line <code>POST_VIDEO=true</code> and change it to <code>POST_VIDEO=false</code> to eliminate the blank-screen-resume problem.
#:*Save the file.
* If you are running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu on a T60P with the ATI graphics option, and are still having suspend problems, consider installing the 32-bit version.
=== Tips for those dist-upgrading from Edgy ===

'''Repair fglrx to a working state:'''

If you have an ATI graphics card, now by default Mesa may be active despite your xorg.conf configuration in edgy.
Check whether there is hardware acceleration:

{{cmduser|fglrxinfo}}

The above should print "OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc", among other output. If "Mesa" is present, then you need to reinstall the fglrx driver:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo depmod -a}}

Then logout, kill the X server with control+alt+delete, and login again. Now the command 'fglrxinfo' will print the proper vendor string.

If the error persists and there is no 3D acceleration: comment out the line involving 'fglrx' in /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video , then

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe -v fglrx}}

and restart the X server (control+alt+del). Check that the driver is loaded:

{{cmduser|lsmod}}
fglrx 540004 11
agpgart 35400 2 fglrx,intel_agp

The driver fglrx should be listed.

If you find this error in the Xorg logs (under System / Administration / System Logs):

(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Turn off AIGLX by adding the following in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

To avoid the garbled display problem, remember that /etc/X11/xorg.conf should have the Composite option disabled (you only need it enabled for Compiz, which is not ready for feisty with ATI cards):

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

== Fix broken metacity window manager: ==

If you had installed a non-official compiz beta at some point, then you will have two disruptive settings files under your home directory.

<pre>
.gnomerc
.dmrc
</pre>

Have a look particularly at .gnomerc , which may contain a line specifying a window manager listed under .gnome-compiz-manager/openbox .
The second file, .dmrc, may be pointing to a compiz desktop session that no longer exists in your system.
Just get rid of both files (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/104903 )

Talk:Problems with ACPI suspend-to-ram

2007-06-10T21:31:13Z

Frigaut:

After a few resumes with my T43, I get "big green boxes" on my consoles tty1 and tty2.
tyy3 to tty6 stays completly black (there should be login prompt).
But X still working fine.

This is a minor issue, but anyone with the same problem and a fix/workaround?

--[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] 13:40, 02 Jun 2006 (CEST)

I have a similar issue on my T60. It seems like the problem is with the framebuffer; that the card is attempting to use the lowest resolution possible when I have the framebuffer set much higher, but that's just my intuition. I'm using hibernate with both <code>EnableVbetool</code> and <code>VbetoolPost</code> set to <code>yes</code>.

An interesting thing is that if I manually call hibernate from an xterm inside X, I get no negative effects. It even fixes the console "big green boxes" if I previously suspended not in X. Also, on resume I see the following messages on the xterm (all previous output is cleared):

Allocated buffer at 0x11010 (base is 0x0)

Just to update/confirm: suspend to RAM only works if I have X running, and I switch to the console running X after resuming. Editing the ACPI sleep script to switch to vt 7 before switching back to the original console seems to work fine, though. It just means that I can't suspend to RAM if I'm not running X. (Putting a check for that in the ACPI sleep script would also be a good idea.) I've tried using <code>EnableVbetool</code>, <code>VbetoolPost</code>, <code>RestoreVCSAData</code>, and <code>RestoreVbeStateFrom</code> from hiberante, but none seem to solve this without switching to X.

Yes it's the vga framebuffer freaking out at you. Try adding '''acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode''' kernel option to /boot/grub/menu.lst

The s3_mode part fixed the green boxes for me. (debian testing, kernel 2.6.16, TP x41)

--[[User:Ladoga|Ladoga]] 06:46, 5 August 2006 (CEST)

Yay, that did it. Also, I'm not sure which option it is, but one of the options in hibernate (either <code>EnableVbetool</code>, <code>VbetoolPost</code>, <code>RestoreVCSAData</code>, or <code>RestoreVbeStateFrom</code>, or all of them) causes the framebuffer to freak out again. Disabling them, and enabling that s3_mode makes it all work again. (Debian Sid, 2.6.17, T60). Putting this in the article, I guess.

--[[User:Deason|Deason]]
----

I had the same problem with the "big green boxes" (except mine were not only green, but many colors :-). I added the acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode to the kernel boot parameters, and suspend with s2ram -f -a 1 (although I'm not sure that if one uses s2ram, the kernel parameters are relevant?). Anyway, the -a 1 in s2ram made things a little better, but I still had issues with big green boxes once in a while. It was critical, because sometimes, suspend would get stuck right after switching to vt1, and would require a hard power cycle, after which the machine would behave weirdly (X gets really slow, e.g. 45 seconds to bring up a gnome-terminal). I have now tried to add vga=0 (no frame buffer) and use s2ram -f -a 3. Seems to work for now. I will update after more suspend cycles.
BTW, the problem with the chvt also happens sometimes, when switching without suspend (just with a crtl-alt 1 or a chvt 1): I get corrupted video with big grey and black boxes on my screen, and everything is dead, i.e. I can't switch out of that state, either using crtl-alt 7 or even killing X (crtl-alt-backspace). I hope this was related to the frame buffer (that;s what pointed me to this post in the first place), and thus hope the vga=0 will do me good.
Note that this problem with garbled video when switching to vt 1 also happens with fedora 7 (I'm using ubuntu feisty as my base system), every single time.

== Intermittent lock-up on resume with X31 ==

I have an {{X31}} running 2.6.16 (Debian). I'm running Debian patches, with the addition of ieee80211 1.1.14 and ipw2200 1.1.13

Suspend/resume generally works first time, but locks up during resume after a few cycles. Usually the sleep light stays flashing.

A possibly related symptom is that on a few occasions, I've had the wireless connectivity work for a few seconds after resume, and then fail (though this could be fixed by {{cmdroot|ifdown eth1; rmmod ipw2200; modprobe ipw2200; ifup eth1}}).

I've tried the following boot options to no avail: {{bootparm|ec_intr|0}}; <tt>nolapic</tt>; <tt>nolapic noapic</tt>

--[[User:Mbg71|Malcolm]] 06:42, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

I've had no more lock-ups since my last post (knock on wood) i.e. about 20 suspend/resume cycles.

Nothing has changed in my config, but I've been manually doing a

{{cmdroot|sync}}

before each suspend, according to the theory that race conditions etc. will be less likely to be tickled if I reduce the interrupt load while ACPI does its work.

Incidentally, it turns out that I was running the equivalent of <tt>nolapic</tt> all along; dmesg output says:

<code>
Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- you can enable it with "lapic"
</code>

--[[User:Mbg71|Malcolm]] 10:11, 21 September 2006 (CEST)

I've tried the following boot options to no avail: {{bootparm|ec_intr|0}}; <tt>nolapic</tt>; <tt>nolapic noapic</tt>

--[[User:Mbg71|Malcolm]] 06:42, 1 September 2006 (CEST)

I've had no more lock-ups since my last post (knock on wood) i.e. about 20 suspend/resume cycles.

Nothing has changed in my config, but I've been manually doing a

{{cmdroot|sync}}

before each suspend, according to the theory that race conditions etc. will be less likely to be tickled if I reduce the interrupt load while ACPI does its work.

Incidentally, it turns out that I was running the equivalent of <tt>nolapic</tt> all along; dmesg output says:

== Unable to resume R40e after suspend-to-RAM ==

Suspend-To-RAM works fine, but after going to sleep,
the laptop (R40e) can't be woken up. It doesn't respond to

reset it. I tried many different setups, but the
problem persists. Any ideas, please?

Talk:Problems with ACPI suspend-to-ram

2007-06-10T20:58:00Z

Frigaut:

After a few resumes with my T43, I get "big green boxes" on my consoles tty1 and tty2.
tyy3 to tty6 stays completly black (there should be login prompt).
But X still working fine.

This is a minor issue, but anyone with the same problem and a fix/workaround?

--[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] 13:40, 02 Jun 2006 (CEST)

I have a similar issue on my T60. It seems like the problem is with the framebuffer; that the card is attempting to use the lowest resolution possible when I have the framebuffer set much higher, but that's just my intuition. I'm using hibernate with both <code>EnableVbetool</code> and <code>VbetoolPost</code> set to <code>yes</code>.

An interesting thing is that if I manually call hibernate from an xterm inside X, I get no negative effects. It even fixes the console "big green boxes" if I previously suspended not in X. Also, on resume I see the following messages on the xterm (all previous output is cleared):

Allocated buffer at 0x11010 (base is 0x0)

Just to update/confirm: suspend to RAM only works if I have X running, and I switch to the console running X after resuming. Editing the ACPI sleep script to switch to vt 7 before switching back to the original console seems to work fine, though. It just means that I can't suspend to RAM if I'm not running X. (Putting a check for that in the ACPI sleep script would also be a good idea.) I've tried using <code>EnableVbetool</code>, <code>VbetoolPost</code>, <code>RestoreVCSAData</code>, and <code>RestoreVbeStateFrom</code> from hiberante, but none seem to solve this without switching to X.

Yes it's the vga framebuffer freaking out at you. Try adding '''acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode''' kernel option to /boot/grub/menu.lst

The s3_mode part fixed the green boxes for me. (debian testing, kernel 2.6.16, TP x41)

--[[User:Ladoga|Ladoga]] 06:46, 5 August 2006 (CEST)

Yay, that did it. Also, I'm not sure which option it is, but one of the options in hibernate (either <code>EnableVbetool</code>, <code>VbetoolPost</code>, <code>RestoreVCSAData</code>, or <code>RestoreVbeStateFrom</code>, or all of them) causes the framebuffer to freak out again. Disabling them, and enabling that s3_mode makes it all work again. (Debian Sid, 2.6.17, T60). Putting this in the article, I guess.
--[[User:Deason|Deason]]

I had the same problem with the "big green boxes" (except mine were not only green, but many colors :-). I added the acpi=s3_bios,s3_mode to the kernel boot parameters, and suspend with s2ram -f -a 1 (although I'm not sure that if one uses s2ram, the kernel parameters are relevant?). Anyway, the -a 1 in s2ram made things a little better, but I still had issues with big green boxes once in a while. It was critical, because sometimes, suspend would get stuck right after switching to vt1, and would require a hard power cycle, after which the machine would behave weirdly (X gets really slow, e.g. 45 seconds to bring up a gnome-terminal). I have now tried to add vga=0 (no frame buffer) and use s2ram -f -a 3. Seems to work for now. I will update after more suspend cycles.
BTW, the problem with the chvt also happens sometimes, when switching without suspend (just with a crtl-alt 1 or a chvt 1): I get corrupted video with big grey and black boxes on my screen, and everything is dead, i.e. I can't switch out of that state, either using crtl-alt 7 or even killing X (crtl-alt-backspace). I hope this was related to the frame buffer (that;s what pointed me to this post in the first place), and thus hope the vga=0 will do me good.
Note that this problem with garbled video when switching to vt 1 also happens with fedora 7 (I'm using ubuntu feisty as my base system), every single time.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on a ThinkPad T60

2007-05-09T17:06:41Z

Frigaut: /* ATI Driver, Intel Pro Wireless, and Powernowd Suspend to RAM Fixes */

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn is the current release and works fine on:
* T60 UT-049GE and 2007-72U.
* T60p

The installation worked without any problems. The new network manager is great as it now supports a useful roaming mode. The system includes the new Linux kernel 2.6.20 which provides almost perfect acpi functionality.

Most of the tips in the [[Installing Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on a ThinkPad T60|Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft Guide]], like installing the ATI driver, apply to Feisty as well.

Feisty polishes up Thinkpad support for media buttons (acpi), and gives a much more usable machine immediately following installation than Edgy. This is a distribution to watch for Thinkpad users.

== ATI Driver, Intel Pro Wireless, and Powernowd Suspend to RAM Fixes ==

'''"Out of the box:"'''
*Suspend to RAM fails during suspend, leaving the moon blinking indefinitely.
*At one point, the Ubuntu apt-installed fglrx packages had the driver version 8.33.6, which is one of the versions that supposedly "breaks" suspend to RAM. Resuming from an otherwise successful suspend will cause the machine to resume with a blank screen without the fix below. That said, the current version in Feisty is now 8.34.8, whose release notes say â€œA system hang no longer occurs when attempting to resume from hibernation mode,â€ so if you simply allow Ubuntu to update itself from the internet you can skip that step.
*The Intel Pro Wireless 3945 wireless card will often stop working even after a successful suspend, requiring a restart.

* FR, 2007may9: Actually, I have a different experience with suspend and hibernate, with a T60 15.4" (core 2 duo 2GHz, intel graphic chip 945GM): Both suspend and hibernate work for me. Initially, I had an issue with a slightly corrupted video after resume from suspend (a couple of lines near the bottom right of the screen), that I fixed by using the intel X driver instead of the i810 (that comes stock with ubuntu feisty fawn). Just load xserver-xorg-driver-intel, that will uninstall xserver-xorg-driver-i810. No other modifications necessary, stock acpi-support and xorg.conf. I can also hibernate, but I loose sound when resuming. Restarting alsa does not restore it.

=== Fixing Suspend to RAM ===

I'm assuming you have the optional Intel Pro Wireless; ignore the line that mentions ipw3945 if you don't have that wireless card.

#'''Disable powernowd during suspend'''
#:''These two edits will disable the powernowd when you suspend, and re-enable it when you resume. For whatever reason, powernowd causes intermittent suspend problems.''
#:*Open a terminal and type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/acpi/suspend.d/10-thinkpad-standby-led.sh</code>
#:*Add to the bottom of the file: <code>/etc/init.d/powernowd stop</code>
#:*Save the file and go back to the terminal.
#:*Type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/acpi/resume.d/90-thinkpad-unstandby-led.sh</code>
#:*Add to the bottom of the file: <code>/etc/init.d/powernowd start</code>
#'''Edit /etc/acpi-support file to unload wireless module during suspend and disable video card warm boot'''
#:''These edits will fix the disappearing wireless card and the blank screen on resume problems.''
#:*Open a terminal and type: <code>sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support</code>
#:*Find the line <code>MODULES=""</code> and change it to <code>MODULES="ipw3945"</code> so that your wireless card module won't disappear after you resume.
#:*Next, find the line <code>POST_VIDEO=true</code> and change it to <code>POST_VIDEO=false</code> to eliminate the blank-screen-resume problem.
#:*Save the file.

=== Tips for those dist-upgrading from Edgy ===

'''Repair fglrx to a working state:'''

If you have an ATI graphics card, now by default Mesa may be active despite your xorg.conf configuration in edgy.
Check whether there is hardware acceleration:

{{cmduser|fglrxinfo}}

The above should print "OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc", among other output. If "Mesa" is present, then you need to reinstall the fglrx driver:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo depmod -a}}

Then logout, kill the X server with control+alt+delete, and login again. Now the command 'fglrxinfo' will print the proper vendor string.

If the error persists and there is no 3D acceleration: comment out the line involving 'fglrx' in /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video , then

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe -v fglrx}}

and restart the X server (control+alt+del). Check that the driver is loaded:

{{cmduser|lsmod}}
fglrx 540004 11
agpgart 35400 2 fglrx,intel_agp

The driver fglrx should be listed.

If you find this error in the Xorg logs (under System / Administration / System Logs):

(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Turn off AIGLX by adding the following in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

To avoid the garbled display problem, remember that /etc/X11/xorg.conf should have the Composite option disabled (you only need it enabled for Compiz, which is not ready for feisty with ATI cards):

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

'''Fix broken metacity window manager:'''

If you had installed a non-official compiz beta at some point, then you will have two disruptive settings files under your home directory.

<pre>
.gnomerc
.dmrc
</pre>

Have a look particularly at .gnomerc , which may contain a line specifying a window manager listed under .gnome-compiz-manager/openbox .
The second file, .dmrc, may be pointing to a compiz desktop session that no longer exists in your system.
Just get rid of both files (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/104903 )

=== Tips for those dist-upgrading from Edgy ===

'''Repair fglrx to a working state:'''

If you have an ATI graphics card, now by default Mesa may be active despite your xorg.conf configuration in edgy.
Check whether there is hardware acceleration:

{{cmduser|fglrxinfo}}

The above should print "OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc", among other output. If "Mesa" is present, then you need to reinstall the fglrx driver:

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control}}

{{cmduser|sudo depmod -a}}

Then logout, kill the X server with control+alt+delete, and login again. Now the command 'fglrxinfo' will print the proper vendor string.

If the error persists and there is no 3D acceleration: comment out the line involving 'fglrx' in /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video , then

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe -v fglrx}}

and restart the X server (control+alt+del). Check that the driver is loaded:

{{cmduser|lsmod}}
fglrx 540004 11
agpgart 35400 2 fglrx,intel_agp

The driver fglrx should be listed.

If you find this error in the Xorg logs (under System / Administration / System Logs):

(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Turn off AIGLX by adding the following in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

To avoid the garbled display problem, remember that /etc/X11/xorg.conf should have the Composite option disabled (you only need it enabled for Compiz, which is not ready for feisty with ATI cards):

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection

'''Fix broken metacity window manager:'''

If you had installed a non-official compiz beta at some point, then you will have two disruptive settings files under your home directory.

<pre>
.gnomerc
.dmrc
</pre>

Have a look particularly at .gnomerc , which may contain a line specifying a window manager listed under .gnome-compiz-manager/openbox .
The second file, .dmrc, may be pointing to a compiz desktop session that no longer exists in your system.
Just get rid of both files (see bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/104903 )
