Dell Latitude D620 won't resume from suspend
Last modified: 2015-03-04 20:18:49 EST
Description of problem: My Dell Latitude D620 laptop won't resume from suspend mode. When I press the power button to resume it, the display remains off. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 pm-utils-0.99.3-6.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Panel menu: System -> Suspend. 2. Press the computer's power button. Actual results: The display remains blank with the backlight off. The power light is on, the hard disk light comes on once for a second or two, and the Bluetooth light flashes continuously (even though I have disabled Bluetooth in the BIOS). Expected results: The display comes on and shows the gnome-screensaver password prompt so I can unlock the screen and continue working. Additional info: - I am using iwl3945, but I set SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945 mac80211" in /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules , and I get a message about iwl3945 being unloaded when I suspend. The same behavior happened with the ipw3945 driver. - Resume worked fine on FC6 kernels with the ipw3945 driver. - I recently unset my system password in the BIOS. Before I unset the password, the behavior on resume was as follows: the BIOS password prompt appears, I enter the password, and then the display shows the four yellow letters "Linu" in the top row of the screen on a black background.
I have the same problem
Manmathan, what model of computer and versions of software are you using?
I tried the recently released kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7 and the problem went away. Thus, I conclude that the bug was in kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7; I'm changing the component accordingly. Alas, I can't use the new kernel because it does not recognize my wireless card, which is a more serious problem for which I will file a separate bug. Manmathan, if you see the problem again with kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7, please comment and I will reopen the bug.
