** Description changed: Binary package hint: grub2 I have a vaio laptop (vgn-nw212F), with ubuntu 10.10 64bit on it. When I closed the laptop lid, even if it was set to suspend, the laptop actually shuts down and i lose all my data. Apparently many other people have had this issue using ubuntu 10.10, and there is a simple solution, which worked in my case: you have to open /etc/default/grub and change this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_sleep=nonvs" I found this solution on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1556934 Other laptops that reportedly have this problem: Vaio FW190E vaio fw31e Vaio VGN-FW-54J + --- + AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23. + Architecture: amd64 + ArecordDevices: + **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** + card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC262 Analog [ALC262 Analog] + Subdevices: 1/1 + Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: alox 2002 F.... pulseaudio + Card0.Amixer.info: + Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xd4a00000 irq 47' + Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC262' + Components : 'HDA:10ec0262,104d4200,00100302' + Controls : 12 + Simple ctrls : 8 + Card1.Amixer.info: + Card hw:1 'HDMI'/'HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd0030000 irq 48' + Mixer name : 'ATI R6xx HDMI' + Components : 'HDA:1002aa01,104d4200,00100100' + Controls : 4 + Simple ctrls : 1 + Card1.Amixer.values: + Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 + Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum + Playback channels: Mono + Mono: Playback [on] + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=6c5e5dec-7579-4e80-89d4-79ff5597a3e2 + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) + MachineType: Sony Corporation VGN-NW21ZF_T + NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcEnviron: + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic root=UUID=e346777c-f233-45c3-b9ba-58f665f0dff5 ro quiet splash acpi_sleep=nonvs vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic 2.6.38.8 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-2.6.38-11-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-2.6.38-11-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.52 + Tags: natty running-unity + Uname: Linux 2.6.38-11-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-05-10 (130 days ago) + UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare video www-data + dmi.bios.date: 08/20/2009 + dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. + dmi.bios.version: R1120Y4 + dmi.board.asset.tag: N/A + dmi.board.name: VAIO + dmi.board.vendor: Sony Corporation + dmi.board.version: N/A + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: N/A + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: Sony Corporation + dmi.chassis.version: N/A + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrR1120Y4:bd08/20/2009:svnSonyCorporation:pnVGN-NW21ZF_T:pvrC602A3RY:rvnSonyCorporation:rnVAIO:rvrN/A:cvnSonyCorporation:ct10:cvrN/A: + dmi.product.name: VGN-NW21ZF_T + dmi.product.version: C602A3RY + dmi.sys.vendor: Sony Corporation ** Attachment added: "AcpiTables.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726070/+attachment/2419690/+files/AcpiTables.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726070 Title: vaio laptop shuts down when closing lid, solved by adding 'acpi_sleep=nonvs' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/726070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
