Is it true if I have some shares mounted read-only (they are also exported read-only)? I have some movies and music exported from my file-server and I don't like killing mediaplayers just because I have to unmount their data. thanks in advance, Bartek Cwiklowski Bartek Ćwikłowski 2008-12-03T00:02:15 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8075 Hi guys. I am planning to get a new PC and a new graphics card. I am wondering which brands and drivers are working with tuxonice. Maybe it will help more people to have an overview list like this. My experiences so far: - Nvidia old era (TNT2) + free nv driver (no 3D accel) = no problems. - Nvidia old era (TNT2) + binary closed driver (3D accel) = it is blacklisted by tuxonice, no hibernation. The driver itself doesn't even work lately on my machine. - Radeon middle era (9550) + free radeon driver (3D accel) = no problems. My observations from this list: - Nvidia new era (8xxx - 9xxxx) + binary closed driver (3D accel) = varying success. Depends on driver version, card and other factors. My questions: - Radeon new era (radeon HD 3xxxx - 4xxx) + free radeonHD driver (3D accel?)= ??? (any experieces?) - Intel new era (9xx) + (free?) driver (3D) = ??? (any experieces?) This is on a desktop PC. Laptops probably have their own share of problems with ACPI and gfx cards. Has anybody experiences with these last 2 families? That would help me. Thanks in advance, Peter ace 2008-12-02T15:51:20 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8058 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? Kārlis Repsons 2008-11-29T10:29:16 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8048 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. Bartek Ćwikłowski 2008-11-24T21:15:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8047 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 Laurento Frittella 2008-11-24T13:54:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8038 Fedora has split off the firmware from the 2.6.27 kernel and put that in a separate kernel-firmware package. There's a new cubbi kernel for 2.6.27 available, but that does not have an associated kernel-firmware package. Therefore it is not possible to upgrade the 2.6.26 cubbi kernel to 2.6.27 using yum and friends. It seems that a package kernel-tuxonice-firmware-2.6.27.5-37_1_cubbi_tuxonice.fc9.noarch should be provided in the cubbi repo. Johan Vromans 2008-11-18T20:49:24 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8034 I better register to this list, so no need to wait until admins approve my post. Currently it looks impossible to hibernate and successfully resume multiseat Xorg. Firstly I would like to ask, if there is anyone out there, who made it work? With what video cards? I tried with 2 nvidia; Looks terrible after resume. In tuxonice site I found some NVidiaHack (or similar) mentioned, to make multiseat work ok. But is it just someones future plan or a working patch? Any help appreciated, Kārlis _______________________________________________ TuxOnIce-users mailing list TuxOnIce-users< at >lists.tuxonice.net http://lists.tuxonice.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxonice-users Kārlis Repsons 2008-11-17T10:15:19 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8025 Hello, please let me know if you have succeeded with hibernation of dualseat PC! Currently I am using standard kernel and with its hibernation implementation I get really ugly desktop after resume (and second seat is not waking up at all). In single-seat mode it works well (previously with tuxonice there were hangs, though). Well, perhaps is not clever to hope, it will work... But who knows? Please include my address in reply, it there is something to say. Kārlis Repsons 2008-11-15T19:24:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8024 Hello list, I would like to use kernel version 2.6.27.6 with tuxonice. I have downloaded the 2.6.27 tar file and the 2.6.27.6 patch. Now I only need to apply the tuxonice patches and I should be good to go. I am not sure however how to go about this though. Since there aren't any official tuxonice patches for this kernel yet, I figure that I will need to use git for that. I found Nigel's 2.6.27.y git branch and cloned it, but now what? How do I get the difference between that branch and what I already have for 2.6.27.6? Do I also need to clone the vanilla 2.6.27.y branch? How can I diff that then against Nigel's branch? This is all somewhat confusing.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks already, nick Nicolas Bock 2008-11-15T18:03:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8012 Is the current version for 2.6.27 safe to use - as in, will it kill the kitten or not?

The resulting scripts hooks into the suspend-process and adds support for resuming TOI to initramfs . This means that you can just replace your existing swsusp configuration with TuxOnIce and even switch between them without modifying grub or recompiling the kernel (ok, you have to 'update-initramfs'). It even works with encrypted swap devices in the same way like swsusp does. I would be glad if some people do have a look on this scripts. I think that the worst thing that can happen is that you have to rescue you're system with another initramfs/kernel. But of course you have a recent backup of your data, haven't you? I'll not guarantee that everything works as expected. You can get the scripts from http://www.dau-sicher.de/stuff/tuxonice-ubuntu-initramfs.tar.gz Precondition: You have patched your (ubuntu-)kernel with TOI-Support. The archive contains the following files: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume This is the only file that overwrites an existing one. It introduces two new parameters: RESUME_METHOD, which must be set to "tuxonice" (otherwise swsusp would be used), and RESUME_INFO, which points to a file on you're root partition for storing the resume command line (only used in conjunction with Filewriter). If RESUME has no prefix, Swapwriter is assumed for compatibility reasons, even if disabled in kernel config. Use this if you would like to hibernate to a crypted swap device, or "cryptroot" would not recognize it. If you want to use Filewriter, prepend 'file:' to the path. There is no need to define the file's offset because the suspend script will determine it. Remember to update-initramfs when modifying this file. /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/tuxonice If RESUME_METHOD is "tuxonice", this hook disables the swsusp-resume script. It also creates a wrapper for "fstype" to identify a hibernation partition, returned as FSTYPE=tuxonice (this is required for crypted swap devices). /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume_tuxonice This script initates resuming by writing the resuming information to /sys/power/tuxonice/resume and activating "do_resume". In Filewriter-Mode, the root device will be mounted read-only to read the hibernation file's offset from RESUME_INFO. /etc/pm/sleep.d/01tuxonice Adds TuxOnIce-Support to Ubuntu's hibernation process. In Filewriter-Mode, this script will create (or resize, if neccessary) the hibernation file (using /proc/meminfo to determine the required size) and add the required "TuxOnIce"-prefix to the file. After that, this script will query the resume-command from the kernel and write it to RESUME_INFO. /etc/acpi/resume.d/01-tuxonice.sh /etc/acpi/suspend.d/01-tuxonice.sh These are wrapper's for /etc/pm/sleep.d/01tuxonice. Ideas for the future: - Add support for "noresume" and other kernel parameters - Read everything from read-only-root, so you don't need to rebuild initramfs- tools when modifying conf.d/resume. - Add a check for "resume_from_file" to assure that this is an active hibernation file before calling "do_resume" - chmod 0600 the hibernation file when suspending Viele Grüße, Roland Tapken Roland Tapken 2008-11-06T20:09:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/8002 _______________________________________________ TuxOnIce-users mailing list TuxOnIce-users< at >lists.tuxonice.net http://lists.tuxonice.net/mailman/listinfo/tuxonice-users Stian Kalstad 2008-11-06T15:10:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/7984 Hi Nigel! Everything seems fine until I try to hibernate with Googlearth running, uses a lot of RAM, 800M/1G and some swap 300/2G or a bit more. Suspend worked but resume failed in the reading caches 20% stage. There is a message on the screen with no_console_suspend: Decompression yielded 3388 bytes instead of 4096 MSysRQ-s not working, no other error messages anywhere.

Craig Huff 2008-11-02T13:37:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/7966 Hi. Using the latest version of git from ubuntu-hardy+tuxonice, I hibernated my laptop with tuxonice's powerdown_method set to 3. I had to unload uhci_hcd module to do that, otherwise my usb keyboard and mouse doesn't work after resume. Then it resumed without problems from the suspend (S3 state), but later when I tried to hibernate and shut down (powerdown_method 5), I got the following error: nov 1 13:09:00.30 hibernate: [01] Executing CheckLastResume ... nov 1 13:09:00.31 hibernate: [01] Executing CheckRunlevel ... nov 1 13:09:00.32 hibernate: [01] Executing LockFileGet ... nov 1 13:09:00.32 hibernate: [01] Executing NewKernelFileCheck ... nov 1 13:09:00.33 hibernate: [10] Executing EnsureTuxOnIceCapable ... nov 1 13:09:00.34 hibernate: [11] Executing XHacksSuspendHook1 ... nov 1 13:09:00.34 hibernate: [45] Executing FSTypesUnmount ... nov 1 13:09:00.36 hibernate: [59] Executing RemountXFSBootRO ... nov 1 13:09:00.37 hibernate: [89] Executing SaveKernelModprobe ... nov 1 13:09:00.39 hibernate: [90] Executing ModulesUnload ... nov 1 13:09:00.55 hibernate: [91] Executing ModulesUnloadBlacklist ... nov 1 13:09:01.20 hibernate: [95] Executing XHacksSuspendHook2 ... nov 1 13:09:02.84 hibernate: [97] Executing ChangeToTuxOnIceVT ... nov 1 13:09:02.84 hibernate: [98] Executing CheckRunlevel ... nov 1 13:09:02.85 hibernate: [98] Executing FullSpeedCPUSuspend ... nov 1 13:09:02.87 hibernate: [98] Executing TuxOnIceConfigSet ... nov 1 13:09:02.88 hibernate: [99] Executing DoTuxOnIce ... nov 1 13:09:02.89 hibernate: Activating TuxOnIce ... /usr/local/sbin/hibernate: 1: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "513&1" What kind of an error is this? Gergely Csépány 2008-11-01T12:38:03 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/7965 Hi, Is anyone still working on tuxonice for arm? I noticed that there was some work done in the past, but did not see any recent messages. I need this functionality in 2.6.23. I've already applied the toi patch to my kernel, changed Kconfig so it gives me the options, but when compiling I get an error message about toi_faulted undeclared. Guess I need to do things in arm/mm/fault.c and arm/mm/pageattr.c similar to what is done for i386, but figured I'd better ask here first. Btw: I am aware of the work of Hiroki Kaminaga e.g. on http://www.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/SuspendToDiskForARM but this all seems quite old. Thanks alot for any suggestions! Frans. Frans Meulenbroeks 2008-10-31T14:53:18 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.swsusp.general/7960 Hi there! I've been using tux on ice since some time ago and all is working just fine. When I first used it, I just got a text dos-like informing about the hibernate state and so on, I had no escape key, but I was happy with it, since it was (is) reliable and worked well. Then I began messing with the user ui and tried compiling all of the options. Some qüestions: 1.- I believe I can't use fbsplash if I don't have a fbsplash enabled kernel, true? 2.- I can build the text thing, but when I run sudo tuxonice_text I get nothing. It stops there doing nothing (with the tuxonice_fbsplash -t line active) and when it finishes, the screen gets messed up (wrong colors and so on), however, the systems works fine, and restarting x or doing a tuxonice_usplash -t and pressing esc fixes it. 3.- I can build the usplash and doing sudo tuxonice_usplash -t works as it should. The strange thing is that, with everything build and installed, when I hibernate I get a dos-like screen with no escape key. After trying many things, I realized that if I echo /usr/local/sbin/tuxonice_usplash to the /sys tuxonice user program entry and then hibernate, I get the usplash screen. Of course it's not a big thing, since adding two lines to /etc/rc.local enables usplash and the escape key. Why does this happen? When I build the kernel I point the user ui to usplash, but even so I have to echo it so that it works. Any thoughts? 4.- Not a question. The current head patch applies fine to kernel 2.6.28-rc2, but it will fail to compile with some tux on ice related error. If you need I can reproduce it and post the output. thanks in advance patrick PD: nice piece of software!
