[Bug 432230] Re: [Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC] late resume failure [non-free: nvidia]

[Peter Whittaker]

The "suspend-test --full" test is unavailable to me because of the GDM
restart issue: A terminal window within gnome disappears when GDM
restarts, and as of now, for whatever reason, I can no longer get a
console prompt. After rebooting the machine a few minutes ago, the first
several times I tried getting to VT1, not only did I get a blank screen
on the VT, but GDM restarted - I was back at gnome login.

After letting the gnome session "sit" for a while (long enough for the
screensaver to come on, I can at least attempt to navigate away and back
to VT7 and gnome without losing that session, but other VTs are still
unavailable to me.

FWIW, suspend-test results visible before losing my gnome session were:

suspend for 20s via dbus while on AC: failed.

suspend for 20s via dbus while off AC: succeeded, but resume got me back
to a gnome login session.

At this point, guidance is required. Not being able to get to a console
is a serious handicap, and the problem may not be kernel resume but GDM
or display related. Without the console, the standard debugging
techniques seem out of reach.

All suggestions for a way forward are welcome.
