Issue with suspend

[heinzel]

Hi, I have just installed lubuntu on an older asus pc and everything worked smoothly. Thanks for the great job the team is doing here.

There is just one issue: power management

When I try to suspend to ram, the system shuts down … as far as I can see from logs without any issues.

The screen shuts of, but fans / system power stays on.

The only way to recover from this state is to press power button for 4 seconds

I know that this is not a HW issue, as suspend to ram worked on an older libreelec distri I was running on the system recently.

It would be great if someone could help me to debug this issue.

Best Regards
Heinzi

Adding information:

Issue also is visible when booting from live medium.

Some more trial:

ubuntu 20.04 → after suspend it takes a long while but finally suspends … but after wakeup … system is crashed … corrupted display … unresponsive …
lubuntu 18:04 → same behavior as lubuntu 20.04
latest kodi live image → same issue

[guiverc]

I’ve got a weird & old Nokia box that has issues with suspend, in my case it performs the same on multiple OSes so I concluded it’s a box issue; impacting all tested Linux & BSD kernels. The fans on this nokia remain on switching to low; but they’re supposed to as its intended to be used in a rack

You mention “Ubuntu 20.04” but didn’t give specifics as to which you were using… was it the GA (5.4) kernel?, HWE (5.8) kernel or other?

You also mention Lubuntu 18.04 & same behavior; if you’re comparing a 18.04 using HWE (5.4) kernel & Ubuntu 20.04 (GA 5.4) kernel the same behavior would be expected as it’s the same kernel stack, but you gave no specifics as to what stack you tried?

For example, 18.04 can use

• 18.04 or 18.04.1 (4.15 kernel or GA kernel)
• 18.04.2 (live; 4.18 kernel)
• 18.04.3 (live, 5.0 kernel)
• 18.04.4 (live, 5.3 kernel)
• 18.04.5 (5.4 kernel; same as used in 20.04 GA)

Which is used by default is selected at install time (by the ISO you use to install, though that choice can be changed)

Given I think it’ll be close to kernel that matters for your issue, being specific as to kernel being compared matters in my opinion; and you didn’t provide that detail.

I’d also try suspending via command, for example

systemctl suspend

but I’d try variations & other methods too.

I’d compare different stacks (my list of 18.04 stacks show 5 choices available from live media alone), but if it was me, I’d probably go wider than those; the GA & HWE stacks for 18.04 for starters, me I like Debian so I’d likely test that too, but also another non-Debian/Ubuntu base too (eg. Fedora can be used in live mode, or without install as I recall) to look for clues.

Testing via live media means no changes are needed to your system, and it’s where I’d start (you gave no specifics on what you tried; GA or HWE stack on both focal or bionic?)

Maybe useful https://askubuntu.com/questions/1792/how-can-i-suspend-hibernate-from-command-line but there are bound to be better; it’s just the first that appeared on a search.

[heinzel]

@guiver Thanks for your elaborated answer. While trying different live images I just used just the latest live image form a specific release … so I probably used 5.4 kernel over and over again.

I tried systemctl suspend and pm-suspend method, both result in the same behavior.

I will check out more kernel versions according to your recommendation and post the results here.

[heinzel]

stupid question:

where would I find old releases ?

under this link

“https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04.1/release”

I only find the 18.04.5 image

“https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/18.04.1/release/lubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso”

help apreciated.

Best Regards
Stephan

[guiverc]

Yeah sorry, https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/ which will let you walk down to each 18.04 point release, but always ends up pointing at the latest (18.04.5 though the alternate ISO would provide the GA kernel as it’s not be re-created since 18.04; the alternate ISO isn’t live though so requires install).

To test the kernels, you could always opt to try the main Ubuntu releases (all those are available; http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/bionic/). Main ubuntu will have the same base (and kernel stack), just the GNOME desktop (and apps) instead of Lubuntu’s LXDE (for bionic).

Late last year I needed 18.04.4 for a test (and I’d deleted or couldn’t find my old copy), so had to find it online, I used one of the European sites (like https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Downloads/ but if it wasn’t deutsche/german, it was maybe français/french, but I forget sorry)

[heinzel]

Hi tried,

• 18.04.1 (4.15 kernel or GA kernel) → suspend/resume works good
• 18.04.2 (live; 4.18 kernel) → suspend/resume works good
• 18.04.3 (live, 5.0 kernel) → suspend/resume works good
• 18.04.4 (live, 5.3 kernel) → suspend doesn’t work

So seems like the issue was introduced somewhere between 5.0 and 5.3

What is the best next step ?

• Downgrade the whole os to 18.04.3 and freeze it there. That would mean, that support for the system would end in April 2023 … which is probably a reasonable timeframe for an old Atom box …

• Downgrade the kernel in my 20.04 system … not sure whether this is such a great Idea, or feasable at all.

• Figure out the rootcause in the kernel and fix it → probably beyond my capabilities and time

• report a bug somewhere and hope for someone to fix it → I’m not sure how and where to file this … and whether someon would care at all …

Best Regards
heinzi

Hi,
quick update on that: I bravely downloaded a 5.0 kernel from here:

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

installed it using dpkg

and voila suspend works … but still, I think I am cut of from e.g. security updates in this way, right ?

So would be much nicer to know the rootcause and get rid of it on a recent kernel version.

Best Regards
heizi

If using Lubuntu 18.04.5, I’d suggest using the GA kernel (4.15 or GA/general & 5.4/HWE are supported for the life of that product).

FYI: the 4.18 kernel was from 18.10; it bumped to 5.0 from 19.04, then 5.3 of 19.10 before finally settling on 5.4 of 20.04, being only short-term kernels for updates in Ubuntu releases. The HWE stack is taken from normal releases allowing later hardware to get newer drivers (when using the LTS release).

Of the 18.04 options, I’d stick with the GA kernel, rather than risk using an unsupported disco kernel which would require you to manually back-port patches (unless off-line, where security is a moot point). You can install with 18.04 or 18.04.1, or refer to Kernel/LTSEnablementStack - Ubuntu Wiki which provides both the command to install GA stack, and on completion of testing it, it then provides the command to remove the HWE stack. It’s found in the 20.04/focal section now. ie.

To downgrade from HWE/OEM to GA kernel:

sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic

OEM kernels didn’t exist in 18.04 on Ubuntu media… the removal step won’t have 20.04 in the name either; adjust for your release. And FYI: I’ve two old IBM thinkpad laptops that don’t like the 5.4 kernel, but are great on the 4.15/GA kernel.

However, Lubuntu 18.04 LTS is supported by Lubuntu only until April-2021, ie. 3 years only. The five years applies to the main Ubuntu base, which is the problem with 18.04.

The 4.15 kernel isn’t supported on 20.04, and whilst I’m aware of users using it (because of issues), I won’t recommend that. Me I’d likely explore another solution if you need suspend and want something later than bionic/18.04. My guess is you’ll have issues with anything using that kernel (ie. not just a Ubuntu base, but all GNU/Linux using that kernel; which is why I suggested trying non-Ubuntu’s which would confirm that…) In the end it’s your choice as I see it if you need suspend.

[heinzel]

thanks für your answer … I’m a bit confused, no so I try to summarize in my words:

• one option would be to use 18.04.5 using the GA kernel, this would make my system supported until 4.2021 … so this would’nt carry me far

• the other option you point out is to move to a entirely different non ubuntu based base distri, like debian or fedora … and hope my issue vanishs and doesn’t catch me on the next upgrade.

  If I understand right, this is the solution you propose … which sounds a bit strange to me, because I would think, that the whole purpose of such a forum is rather to keep users with the distro, than send them away …

  On the other hand I can understand, that noone wants to spend big effort to recover support for some cheap little atom box … However I would have hoped to some pointer to what I could try to make my (not really exotic) box work on a recent revsion of lubuntu …

• would’nt the lubuntu-meta package installed on on a 18.04.5 ubuntu server with GA kernel give me basically a lubuntu system with 5 years of LTS ?

[guiverc]

If you load a 18.04 system, you can use ubuntu-support-status to view the support status of the packages on the actual system you are using. eg. on an old ibm thinkpad t43

guiverc@t43-lubu:~$   ubuntu-support-status 
Support status summary of 't43-lubu':

You have 422 packages (22.5%) supported until April 2021 (Community - 3y)
You have 1350 packages (72.1%) supported until April 2023 (Canonical - 5y)
You have 3 packages (0.2%) supported until April 2021 (Canonical - 3y)

You have 0 packages (0.0%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded
You have 97 packages (5.2%) that are unsupported

You’ll note many (72.1%) packages are supported for 5 years, ie. until April-2023. ubuntu-support-status reports 22.7% of packages are supported only until April-2021 (when Lubuntu, and support for much of the ‘universe’ repository ends; 5 years applies to ‘main’ packages only). Those are just facts. I haven’t decided what I’ll do with my system yet, as mine cannot upgrade to 20.04 Most of what I do is off-line, so I’ll likely just deny it access to the internet by default.

My suggestion to try different OSes (specifically Debian & Fedora) was exploratory; to gain more information about the kernel stacks. I mentioned that I believe Fedora could be used in live mode for testing purposes without install for example. Fedora releases only have a supported life of about a year which I consider rather short (they come out every six months; when f34 comes out, 1 month later f32 will be EOL), but you won’t catch me saying anything negative about Debian (I do love my Debian too).

If the problem didn’t occur in Fedora or Debian for example, and you tried the same kernel versions… we know it’s something in the Ubuntu stack that’s an issue… Debian is pretty close to Ubuntu, Fedora a little further away - it was this exploratory purpose that I was talking about.

I talked about 18.04 & the variations only to to show why detail mattered (a test of 18.04 original media is a very different test to a test with 18.04.5 media…), plus to provide different stacks as I felt your issue was kernel related (educated guess at best)

Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Desktop (ie. with GNOME on 18.04) have 5 years of support; Lubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu/Ubuntu-MATE/Ubuntu-Budgie/etc only came with 3 years (Ubuntu-Studio 18.04 was not a LTS so only had 9 months). Adding anything Lubuntu to Ubuntu Server will mean the server parts have 5 years of support, but the desktop packages (LXDE/Lubuntu) end-support on 2021-April. ubuntu-support-status mentioned earlier will show that.

There maybe other options, I provided all I could think of, at least what I was willing to write about here. (I’d have explored further with other OSes to gain more information & confirm my theories that it’s kernel related, and not just something Ubuntu specific… why I mentioned what I consider off-topic Debian/Fedora… I wasn’t trying to plug either GNU/Linux, using them as example as they’re not Ubuntu based… ie. testing on Pop_OS! would gain you very little in my opinion; they do compile their own kernel but it’s very close; Linux Mint don’t even do that!).

I didn’t answer your earlier question about filing a bug, to get the best response. In my opinion, if you’d like to do that, you should file on the development release (which is hirsute currently, so 5.10 kernel), as the kernels you mentioned are no longer being developed, only getting security fixes (your issue doesn’t relate to security in my opinion). I can provide more detail here if you’re interested, but sorry I missed in my prior answer.

[heinzel]

Thanks alot again for that elaborated answer.

While fiddeling around with different live images and distros … I figured out that:

if I switch lubuntu 20.04 to runlevel 3 doing

systemctl isolate multi-user.target

the system enters and leaves suspend without issues

obviosly this can only be a hint and not a reasonable base for a workaround … because the is no point in using suspend to ram if you have to logout from the desktop session before suspend and login after. …

[heinzel]

probably the issue is actually more on the desktop environment or the display driver side rather than the kernel … but still kernel 5.0 works with the same desktop and display driver …

[guiverc]

@heinzel

display driver side

Drivers are strictly called kernel modules so are very related to the kernel itself. The difference between each of the 18.04 hardware enablement stacks I used as example includes kernel modules (ie. in user terminology ‘drivers’) but the kernel version is the easy way to list the stack.

This applies in other OSes too, they just don’t have a kernel that changes anywhere near as much as Linux does, and use a non-technical term ‘drivers’.

[heinzel]

Thanks for the clarifications … I will probably file a bug against the current ubuntu dev release.

perhaps these guys will find out …
