Tecra M5: standby/suspend one with a Linux 2.6 kernel

I'm using linux kernel v2.6.16.20 on a Tecra M5, stable distribution of Debian 3.1. Most things seem to work properly, an annoying problem with the nvidia graphics drivers means that I can't go to a text console after starting X, but the more annoying is that I have to stop and start the machine there is no way I have found yet to convince standby or suspend.

I use ACPI. As a fall back I also tried APM but it seems that it is not of any popular support APM in the BIOS on this laptop. That's fine, I'd rather be using ACPI, just need to make it work. I updated the BIOS to version 1.5.

I have activated CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP (also have CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_SUSPEND_SMP, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, seem to need the last in order then to activate CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP) and CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND.
$ cat/sys/power/state
Reports:
disc of mem

Don't know where the option 'sleep' went, without active CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP it reports 'sleep mem.

Running: (in single-user mode, using-s at startup, so this minimum amount is running)
$ echo "mem" >/sys/power/state
Things start to happen, the screen becomes white with a second or two which makes it difficult to actually identify what he began to do/don't, but then it's right there, fan is active, can't really tell if the hard drive is still turning but there is little change except the cutting screen. May not then wake up at all, screen remains blank, no access to disk AFAIK, left for 10 minutes or so just in case is to have time-out problems, nothing. Only solution then is to powercycle (now the power button / Stop button for more than 4 seconds) and start from scratch again.

Have also tried 2.6.16.9 compilation and applied suspend2 patch in an attempt to get the machine to suspend to disk, not my ideal choice but any suspension would be good at this point. All patched and updated ok, (taken 2.6.19.9 simply own patches against the kernel version had suspend2 I knew) running script "hibernate" written in the file or the fine swap, it shuts the laptop very well, but just the recovery does not. Tried FilesWriter initially and then went down to the most frequent SwapWriter, added ' echo >/proc/suspend2/do_resume ' initrd and also tried adding a script to/etc/mkinitrd/scripts that appear on a couple of distro Debian suspend2 lists for initrd plays, still no joy.
Tried to adjust compression = none in the config I noticed that when using FileWriter with initrd problem lack the lzf module, rather than messing around trying to add lzf to initrd I figured disabling compression at least would allow me to test, still no joy. SwapWriter I got close, looked like, he begins to take over, then the laptop restarts after just a few seconds and then start normally, start info went. Nothing in the paper that I can see to suggest there is no problem at all.

Am I missing something completely obvious here? I have searched several sites, came up with very little. Doesn't sound like a lot of people have linux on a Tecra M5, the few that relate the bits of material work, none seems to talk about Eve/suspension. Or maybe it chance is just a lot better than mine!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this to work? I would like to be able to "standby" (S1) the laptop at the beginning so at least the material should continue to work on summary, then possibly S3/S4 (suspension on ram or disk) later if I can get this work and equipment to take back the goods. Only the next step I can think acpidump but my knowledge of the workings of ACPI is nonexistence, otherwise than to know it should work better than it does currently.

Suggestions welcome!

Thank you very much
Pete

Hello

It is also possible that standby or Hibernate mode is not important for users. ;)
In my view, it is important that this OS runs stabile and hardware components are recognized correctly.

Sorry but I can't help you and hope another user of Tecra M5 with Linux has better luck than you.

In any case good luck!

  • Need a link to DL Firefox 7.0.1 for linux, lang fi - FI (Finnish), to install on Acer Aspire one notebook with linpus linux.

    I got an Acer Aspire One 110 with Linpus Linux lite. Nobody has updated, so the browser to this topic is Firefox 2.0.0.14, which is a major concern for safety.

    The latest version of linux that works properly (as shown) is Firefox 7.0.1. Some people have reported problems from Firefox 8 in Linpus Lite.

    So I need to find a link where I can download this version of Firefox, in Finnish (apparently lang = fi - FI) because Mozilla has removed his breaks like a stale version.

    However, as it is the most recent version to work properly under Linpus Linux Lite (and also in view of the features of the Acer Aspire One 110), I could really use a download link for this version of Firefox, 7.0.1 in Finnish language.

    Do you mean that you have a Toshiba Recovery disk?

    If Yes, then it's like you said; put the recovery disk in the CD/DVD drive to start this disc and during the procedure, you will be asked which version you want to choose.

  • Tecra A2 - Display driver compatible with Windows 7?

    Hi all
    I've recently updated my Tecra A2 to Windows 7 (obviously without checking compatibility). It is working very well, but I can't find a driver (if it exists) for my graphics card. I've exhausted all over support of Toshiba and the forums pages, and I feel like the only solution is to buy a new card.

    Can anyone help?

    See you soon

    Hello

    I m asking you to install Windows 7 on older Tecra A2. Are not satisfied with the operating system preinstalled?

    Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba page. I checked and I can't find a driver for Windows 7 or Vista (most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7). What can you do now? That's strange but as I know the Tecra A2 is equipped with an Intel card and you should check the Intel website for a pilot. Normally it should good one.
    Check it!

    Pressing Alt poster temporarily the menu bar, the other keys select the option set menu toolbar to display bar.

    It should still work in Firefox 4, which has a firefox button, Alt temporarily displays the menu and the firefox button bar.

    According to what has happened, you will need to use customize/customize to make other changes or even restore default, perhaps even to start Firefox in Safe Mode troubleshooting questions or study if another plugin affecting behavior of firefox.

  • 23 envy d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB IPISB - NK. How to upgrade the video card?

    I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

    How to pass the video?

    What cards are best for this system?

    What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

    Thank you

    Art

    The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

    Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.

  • I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost.

    original title: robocopy

    I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost. So far, that's what I did, I used \\server1\share \\server2\share/sec /mir robocopy and robocopy \\server1\share \\serve2\share/e/s /copyall. It seams like they copied all files with the permissions of the user for the files, but not files. For example, if a user makes a folder with the files in the folder appear them have permissions appropriate for them but not the root folder or subfolders, they did... How can I fix this and what is the difference between / s /mir and/e/s /copyall?

  • Photosmart C7280 all-in-One with HP Premium Plus Photo A4 Semi Gloss paper

    For the past two years, I have been using the Photosmart C7280 all-in-one, with Premium Plus Satin A4 Matte Photo paper and have gotten excellent printing results.

    Now that this article is no longer available I just bought some suggested alternative, which is Premium Plus Semi Gloss; but I am surprised and very disappointed by lower printing results.

    Compared to the Matt satin results, they are very much less clear and the colors appear pale and lower.

  • Ran Malwarebytes & two threats were each one with the same name: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter. fact that associated with MSSE PUM & the boxes unchecked in MS security Center.

    Original title: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter

    I recently removed "patch system" of my Dell computer XP. Malwarebyte s was the only software to do. MSSE caught, but couldn't fix it. I then updated & ran MSSE on my Toshiba - no threats not found. I then ran Malwarebytes & two threats were each one with the same name: PUM. Disabled.SecurityCenter both at the Date of the registry in HKLM\SOFTE\Microsfot\SecurityCenter\AntiVirusDisableNotify & HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsfot\securityCenterFirewallDisableNotify.  These two have been listed bad: Good (0) (1).  In the Malwarebytes wesite, I read that this has something to do with MSSE. In a commentary, he says it occurs if, in the MS Security Center, the notification "Notify me if my computer might be at risk because of my virus protection software settings" is unchecked.  I then went ahead & check all 3, firewalls, viruses & automatic updates. My computer seems to work well, except that the fan runs all the time (there are a lot of processes running & the CPU usage is very--often 100%, but the computer works fast).

    My questions are: 1) the PUM associated MSSE & the boxes unchecked in MS security Center; (2) should I click on "ignore" in the Malwarebytes scan? 3) was right to check all the boxes in the center of security - "altert me if my computer may be at rist b/c of my xxx software settings?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I now have a computer with Windows XP and wanted to buy a new computer.  All new computers come with Windows 7.  Is it possible to buy a new computer with Windows XP (or buy one with Windows 7 and remove it and install Windows XP)?   I like XP and have talked to people who are not really happy with Windows7 and holds XP back.  AND I also discovered that my printer is not compatible with Windows 7 - it is not that I love him and want to keep it.  I can't afford to buy a new computer AND printer, since I have been unemployed for more than 2-1/2 years.   I would like to use XP on a new computer!   I would appreciate it if you could let me know what is possible or if I'm stuck with my old computer.  Thank you very much!

    Probably not, you will find a computer with XP on it.

    If you buy a computer with Windows 7, you will first need to know if it would be compatible with Windows XP. Probably not, because they are not designed for XP and drivers are not available.

    Unless you want to spend the time, you're stuck with your old computer.
