You know, this sounds a lot like the issues the Mini 9 has when sleeping on a Hackintosh system. In that case, you need to go into BIOS and disable the two USB options "Wake on USB" and "USB Legacy mode".

Once those are disabled, reboot, and you should now be able to suspend the computer.

Anyways, I ran into the same problem in a fresh 9.10 install, and tried disabling the "USB Legacy Mode" and "Wake on USB" options in BIOS, and sure enough, the damned thing suspends and hibernates perfectly now.

Just a though; haven't tried it with the SD card mounted yet, however.

@8bitDesigner - Have you lost any functionality with those disabled?

Rather then try to un-mount the SDHC card by name as in the aforementioned example, I set mine to un-mount it by the device. Now it doesn't matter if I have a different named SDHC card in there. Any card I swap in and out of the machine will be un-mounted prior to suspend/hibernate.

mmcblk0p1 appliers only to sd cards. I think memory sticks go to mmcblk0

A better option is to unmount them all with
umount /dev/mmcblk*

]Rather then edit the pm-suspend script directly, it is much better to add the required commands to a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d. That way we don't screw with Ubuntus core scripts.

Heres a copy of my /etc/pm/sleep.d/10sdcard file that unmounts upon hibernation and suspension.

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
    hibernate|suspend)
	umount /dev/mmcblk*
        ;;
#    thaw|resume)
#        ;;    
    *)  echo $1 
        ;;
esac
exit 0

Dont forget to make the file executable with

chmod +x 10sdcard

Worked perfect...thank you.

CountZer0, I have been having the same suspend problem with 9.1 since installing all of my programs and setting my system up as I liked. I then noticed that it will not come out of suspend.

You are the only one that suggested a fix from many searches. Yes, it seems to be the SD card installed and mounted that causes the lock up. If I remove it it works great.

My question is that I tried to fix the problem as you suggested but the SD cards that I mount have different volume names and won't unmount if I plug in a different SD. There must be a name for any SD card mounted that can be added to the suspend file.

Thanks for help.

As I am new to this stuff, I generated a new file named 10sdcard with the code from CRAPTREE's message and saved it into the sleep.d directory. I then did a chmod and rebooted.

Still doesn't stop the lockup after closing the lid of my Dell mini9 usining Ubuntu 9.1. The only way I can put to sleep is remove the SD card before closing.

What am I doing wrong?

[psypher246]

none of the work arounds work in my situation. Not the BIOS changes, not unmounting it in the pm-suspend script or adding the 10sdcard script. I think that is due to me having only a 4GB SSD and I installed Ubuntu with /usr mounted to the sd card so i have some free space in root.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get this device to suspend with usr running on the sd card, or any other folders for that matter?

Thanks

Isn't this a problem that should be addressed in an Ubuntu update? How do we bring it to the attention of the programmers?
