LXQt suspend not working [solved]

[Ed_P]

LXQt 64-bit changes=EXIT

Once LXQt enters the Suspend mode the only way top get out of it is Alt/SysReq REISUB and I loose all my changes. Something is WRONG!




A fix: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... =30#p31215

[fanthom]

a) please setup persistent changes (no EXIT: and such)
b) suspend the system
c) reboot to 'always fresh'
d) upload /var/log/messages from your saved changes to pastebin.com

thanks

The /var/log/messages file is almost 956.9 KB, are you sure you need the whole thing?

yes - please upload it to some online storage or better (privacy wise) send it directly to me on fanthom@porteus.org

thanks

[Ed_P]

send it directly to me on fanthom@porteus.org

It's on my Google Drive and you should have gotten an email for it yesterday.

@Ed_P
unfortunately i see nothing wrong in the log file. no single line of error or anything suspicious.
please remaster the ISO you are booting from and use older kernel from porteus release which is suspending ok on your PC. you have to replace vmlinuz and 000-kernel.xzm only.

[Ed_P]

Thanks fanthom. Not a major problem. I'll keep 3.0.1 RazorQt as my primary until 3.2 LXQt comes out. But it will be a potential problem for other noteboook/netbook users that come along.

[Ed_P]

I've got to see if this thread relates to this situation. Can't right now, got a different problem to fight at the moment.

[Ed_P]

Nope. Tried the acpi_handler.sh shown in
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... =30#p21466 and it had no impact.

I open the lid, tap the mousepad, the screen goes from black to blank and nothing still. Have to alt+sys res+r e i s u b to reboot.

And this does nothing also.

root@porteus:/home/guest# /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh button lid close

I also have this problem on one of my machines with XFCE sleep. When it awakes I have no mouse or keyboard. I am sure it varies from machine to machine so very difficult to find a universal solution.

Tested in root mode, always fresh, save changes mode. On one hand suspend works perfectly on my toshiba z930 laptop.

On another hand, for the hibernate function, the resume cheatcode which I used for the first time this week is essential for the hibernate function to restore desktop environment. But maybe everyone knows that.

To resume lxqt in suspend mode, I hit the power button.

Ed, how do you trigger the suspend function?

Yes, but this is the same machine that suspend has worked on with Porteus RazorQt 2.1, 3.0 and 3.0.1. And the keyboard works, it's how I get from the black, non-powered, screen to the blank, on but no image, screen.

I've never used it before. But will check into it. Thanks.

I'm sure I've tried that but don't remember specifically.

I close the lid of my netbook.

[francois]

I imagine that you know about the resume cheatcode. You will have to specify the the swapfile:
resume=sdxy (where sdxy is a swapfile).

[francois]

Testing suspend on lid close. It works for me.

lxqt panel menu > preferences > lxqt system settings > power management > lid > action when lid close > suspend (for every choices, the four of them)

[Ed_P]

suspend (for every choices, the four of them)

Whoa!!

I changed the "When using external monitor" options to "Suspend" also, closed the lid, waited, opened the lid, tapped the mouse pad, no reaction, pressed the Esc key and Voila!! I'm back.

Have to test some more but this may be working. Thanks francois.

But this still doesn't.

Not that it matters but curious.
