Dell Inspiron 8200 could not suspend/hibernate in 10.04 LTS with latest updates and standard drivers or nvidia(96), with or without nomodeset (would awake after 20 seconds). Finally after installing and testing "uswsusp" package, the console was enlightening:
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 Freezing of tasks failed after 20.00 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze): udisks-daemon It has hot docking drive slot (currently DVD), but BIOS shows floppy drives "Not Installed", and removed floppy from boot order. No other related BIOS settings and no help. So I commented out fd0 mount in /etc/fstab and blacklisted floppy in /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf, but floppy module kept showing up on boot, and could not rmmod it (showing used by 1, but nothing else showing it being used). What I did not know about was "sudo update-initramfs -u". Now floppy module is gone and suspend works. Success. -- Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
