Hi, It says "Powering Down". I don't know if this is of any help, but both "/sbin/shutdown -h now" and "/sbin/poweroff" work fine. I also tried swsusp again to confirm, and it too reboots instead of shutting down. maybe it is something 2.6.27 related? Regards, Bartek Cwiklowski

If so, would you try enabling pausing between steps (press 'P' while hibernating). Then, when you get to the end of writing an image, please check that it says "Powering down." and not "Ready to reboot". Then we'll be completely sure it's not deliberately rebooting. After that, I'd check the powerdown method so we can know how it's trying to power down.

Hi Nigel, I meant hibernate without "-r" argument. swsusp shutdowns my machine successfully, but it cannot reboot it after suspending (it doesn't have that setting), but tuxonice reboots ok, but instead of shutting down, it reboots as well. Regards, Bartek Cwiklowski

Hello Nigel, that powerdownmethod 4 solved my problem. hibernate -r now works great with 2.6.27 and tuxonice-current, however regular hibernate (that should shutdown my machine) instead of shutting it down, reboots just like "-r". The only difference is, that my hdd spins down and immediately starts again (suspend and resume works great though). can you tell me how to fix it, or at least how do you start that S4 thingie, so I can google/experiment on my own, without risking my data on disk (I usually test things with booting from network, with hdd disconnected). I would also like to know why it worked with 2.6.24 and with swsusp. thanks for your help Bartek Cwiklowski PS. sorry for first mail sent from another email account - I'm still not paying enough attention.

Re: forced shutdown of UPS after RAM contents are saved?

Nigel Cunningham — 2008-11-30T21:53:14

Hi again. On Sun, 2008-11-30 at 12:52 +0000, Kārlis Repsons wrote: Okay... more explanation follows. Regards, Nigel 1. Keep Image Mode. The first thing to do is prepare a kernel that has TuxOnIce's keep image mode enabled. We'll use this below to allow you to hibernate our special 'power down the UPS' initrd/ramfs once, then resume it over and over to do the actual powering down. 2. Storage of the images. You need to two places to store images. One will need the normal amount of storage that you'd use for an image, and the other can be quite small (say 20 meg). It will probably be simplest to make the small one a partition. 3. Image for powering off the UPS. You want to make an initrd which does nothing more than power down the UPS to begin with. It must not mount any filesystems, but should instead have all the libraries and binaries needed included in the initrd/initramfs filesystem. Once you get it things to the point where booting with that initrd/ramfs image causes the UPS to power off, you can then add commands to the initrd/ramfs to hibernate using the small storage area just prior to doing the poweroff. The commands should include echoing 1 that this hibernation image can be reused. If you then boot a few times using this initrd/ramfs, the computer should hibernate the first time, and then the second and subsequent times should resume and do the powerdown (because it carries on from where you did the hibernate and doesn't remove the image). Once this is all set up, you should be right to boot like normal (using a different initrd/ramfs that has its resume= pointing at the big storage area. When you want to hibernate and power off the UPS, you would set things up as per a normal hibernate, and in addition set /sys/power/tuxonice/alt_resume_param to be the resume= that you used for the small storage area (for the powering-off-the-UPS image). What will then happen is that TuxOnIce will write your image like normal. Then, instead of powering off the computer immediately, it will load the image from the small storage area and continue at the commands to powerdown the UPS (like in the second and subsequent boots above). The net effect will thus be that you'll hibernate like usual, then the UPS will be powered off. To resume, just boot your normal image in the usual way. If you upgrade your kernel, you'll need - at the moment - to boot the UPS powering off image with noresume to get it to regenerate the hibernation image. We should be able to have different kernel versions work together, but I don't yet have that going right. Hope this is clear and helpful!

Re: forced shutdown of UPS after RAM contents aresaved?

Kārlis Repsons — 2008-11-30T12:52:24

Yes, I am interested! So you mean, I can load some different image and use those ups programs which are on main OS filesystem? Would be better, of course, just the problem of unmounting /. So, maybe I didn't understood right. Some more explanation is welcome!

It lets you write the image like normal, and then resume from a different image instead of powering down. If you created an initrd or initramfs that didn't included commands to hibernate to this separate location and then power off the UPS, you could use it to achieve what you're after. I'm a bit rushed at the moment, but could tell you more tomorrow morning if you're interested.

forced shutdown of UPS after RAM contents aresaved?

Kārlis Repsons — 2008-11-29T10:29:16

Though I'm using swsusp, I think, someone in this list might know: how to call my UPS forced shutdown command, which cause power loss, right after RAM is saved, but system still up?

nvidia-legacy and >=2.6.25

Bartek Ćwikłowski — 2008-11-24T21:15:41

I have an old gf4 mx 440 with legacy drivers version 96.43.07. hibernation is working great with tuxonice on kernel 2.6.24. After applying tricks from http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=1526965&postcount=2 I get to hibernate succesfully even with agp working. however I can't do that with 2.6.2[567] kernels. s2disk with swsusp works great with all kernels but I don't like it and I prefer tuxonice. here are the symptoms from 2.6.25 failures (26 and 27 kernels fail similar with 2.6.24 config, I didn't bother without X or rmmodding): 1)normal setup that works under 2.6.24 after "doing atomic copy" turns off monitor and hangs, I can only ping my machine and use magic sysrq. 2)unpatched drivers (which results in no agp) - results in the same situation. 3)X server is shutdown, hibernation succeeds, but fails to resume - hang on "suspending consoles". again only ping and sysrq work 4)X server is shutdown AND nvidia module rmmoded - hibernation works fine. 5)system is hibernated and resumed using s2disk, after resume I remove swsusp initrd and tuxonice's hibernation works just once. subsequent hibernation cycles fail as usual. it doesn't look like hardware problem since it works with swsusp tuxonice version is 3.0-rc7 for 24-26 kernels, for 27 I used "current" patch. 27 was also using beta drivers 96.43.09 (with and without agp patch/trick). I tried nohz=off trick and it didn't help (and it still works with nohz on in 24 or swsusp) thanks in advance. Bartek Cwiklowski P.S. sorry Nigel for posting it in the wrong list earlier, apparently I must pay more attention.

problematic resume with opened flashplayer

Laurento Frittella — 2008-11-24T13:54:27

Hi all, I noticed that using the latest sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.27 on gentoo (so ToI v3.0-rc7) I have problems with xorg (maybe firefox) when I suspend with firefox opened and one or more flash pages loaded (I mean an html page with some flash in it... like youtube). After resume the system becomes unusable (veeeeery slow, Xorg and firefox eat all the CPU and the pointer moves one step a minute) and I need to switch to a tty and restart gdm (in practice killing all user processes). If I close all the flash pages before suspend all works well. Any idea? Regards, Laurento

You could try echo 1 > /sys/power/tuxonice/no_pageset2 Then TuxOnIce will save the whole image in one part (and save 1/2 of memory at most). I doubt that will make TuxOnIce suddenly start working, but I might be wrong. Would you give it a try? Regards, Nigel
