Hello, I was hoping somebody could suggest where to start looking to try to sort out a problem with my laptop. I have a Samsung N220 which has been running Debian testing+unstable for over a year now. I have been able to suspend (not hibernate) usually successfully most of this time. However, all of a sudden, last week, suspend is no longer "available". I have upgraded something that has removed this capability.
If I hit the "sleep" button, I get a dialogue box saying "Failed to suspend [...] Cannot suspend." Can somebody suggest what might have caused me to lose the suspend capability? I am running kernel 2.6.38-2-686. The acpi related packages, all up to date re: testing, installed on this system are as follows: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ dpkg --list '*acpi*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-=================-=================-================================================== ii acpi 1.5-2 displays information on ACPI devices ii acpi-fakekey 0.138-9 tool to generate fake key events ii acpi-support 0.138-9 scripts for handling many ACPI events ii acpi-support-base 0.138-9 scripts for handling base ACPI events such as the ii acpid 1:2.0.8-4 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event d ii acpitail 0.1-3 Show ACPI information in a tail-like style ii acpitool 0.5.1-2 command line ACPI client ii kacpimon 1:2.0.8-4 Kernel ACPI Event Monitor ii libacpi0 0.2-4 general purpose library for ACPI ii yacpi 3.0-2 ncurses based acpi monitor for text mode $ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I am not sure what other packages to look at or whether I need to configure something differently for acpi. The only options I have with, for instance, gnome-power-manager, are shutdown and restart. I see nothing specific in any of the log files, although I must admit that I am not sure what I should be looking for. For instance, I see --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [ 0.222695] pnp: PnP ACPI: found 9 devices [ 0.222700] ACPI: ACPI bus type pnp unregistered [ 0.222707] PnPBIOS: Disabled by ACPI PNP [ 1.636206] ACPI: Lid Switch [LID0] [ 1.690691] ACPI: Power Button [PWRB] [ 1.690953] ACPI: Sleep Button [SLPB] [ 1.691172] ACPI: Power Button [PWRF] [ 1.748239] ACPI: Thermal Zone [TZ00] (24 C) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- in the dmesg output. There are some error messages which I do not understand: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- [ 0.203219] ACPI Error: [CAPB] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20110112/dsfield-143) [ 0.203235] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._OSC] (Node f682ee88), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20110112/psparse-536) [ 0.203261] pci0000:00: Requesting ACPI _OSC control (0x1d) [ 0.203392] ACPI Error: [CAPB] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20110112/dsfield-143) [ 0.203406] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._OSC] (Node f682ee88), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20110112/psparse-536) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any suggestions very welcome indeed!
