I have an Ubuntu installed on a Dell Vostro 1000 Laptop. Everything was excellent and I'm so happy.

However, there's one thing that render me sick, it's the suspend/resume.

When I'm in a graphic interface (the default of Ubuntu 9.10, not so sure what kind of GUI is it), if I suspend, then resume, then my Ubuntu hang, screen go dark, neither of caps lock nor numlock works.

When I'm in console interface (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1), then execute pm-suspend, then my Ubuntu will resume properly.

And this is the most funny stuff: Right after resume in console interface, if I try to switch to graphic interface (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7) then my Ubuntu will be hang. However, If I wait for few seconds, after Ubuntu log this error to the console screen:

(I copyied this log from /var/log/syslog file, not exactly like what displayed in the console)

Then I can switch to graphic interface by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 and continue my work.

Is there any reason for such funny stuff?

Any solution should I try?

Try this solution from the Ubuntu Forums.


  1. Go to launchpad an download the most recent Jaunty driver for your ATI video card. Here is the link: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archiv...-archive-extra

    Download the following:

    • For 64bit systems:

      • xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
      • xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
    • For 32bit systems:

      • xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
      • xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
  2. Now in your shell, type:

    sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade <xxx>/xserver-xorg-video-radeon_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_<yyy>.deb
    
    sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade <xxx>/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.1-0ubuntu2_<yyy>.deb
    

    Note: Replace <xxx> with the path to the folder where you stored the packages and replace <yyy> with amd64 ori386, depending on your architecture.

  3. Reboot the system and try to suspend and resume to see if the fix worked.

    • 3a. If it worked, you need to keep Synaptic from updating the drivers to the (broken) Karmic drivers. Do so by typing in your shell:

      aptitude hold xserver-xorg-video-radeon
      aptitude hold xserver-xorg-video-ati
      
    • 3b. If it did not work: Skip 3a and startup the Update manager to replace the drivers with the current ones. This should restore your system to the point before following this little guide.
