The suspend appears to happen normally, but resume seems to do
very
little, and ends with a blank screen. I think it makes no entry
in
"messages". I haven't noticed anyone else reporting this.
The laptop is Dell 9400: Nvidia 7900GS, Kernel 6.33.8-149.fc13.i686.PAE
retest with the 6.34 kernel.
Thanks for your suggestion. It still fails with:
2.6.34.6-47.fc13.i686.PAE NetworkManager-0.8.1-4.git20100817.fc13.i686
Perhaps I should add that it is using nouveau and no xorg.conf.
xorg.conf is pretty much redundant these days.
You need to do some diagnosis with submitting a Bugzilla report as your goal or, hopefully, finding the problem. With regard to the report, heep in mind that the better the evidence, the more likely you are to get a fix.
For starters, have a look at /var/log/pm-suspend.log. The actions taken in suspending and resuming are recorded there. Look for actions that are not recorded as 'success' or 'not applicable'. Towards the end, if everything is working, you should see something like:
Thu Sep 2 14:32:17 PDT 2010: performing suspend Thu Sep 2 16:21:02 PDT 2010: Awake. Thu Sep 2 16:21:02 PDT 2010: Running hooks for resume
You might also have a look at http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/power/basic-pm- debugging.txt
Good luck.
Geoff. Thanks again for your help.
Before the update to NetworkManager, pm-suspend looks fairly straightforward, with the "resume" section starting with the line showing date, time, and the word "Awake".
After the update the suspend is identical, but the resume section is completely missing. Not even the Awake comment!
That makes it difficult for me to do anything.

As this thread seems to have moved on to general problems, with little relevance to my original fault, I'll stop here after mentioning that updating to NetworkManager-0.8.1-6.git20100831.fc13.i686 from updates-testing fixed it.
Many thanks again, Geoff.

0.8.1-6 certainly improves things. It almost makes NetworkManager work as well as it used to. It was never entirely reliable in its suspend/resume behaviour, but it only used to screw up every few days. 0.8.1-4 makes it screw up every time. 0.8.1-6 makes 802.11 work most of the time, but my 3G modem connection is still quirkier than it used to be. It seems most of the quirkiness occurs if the machine tries to establish an 802.11 connection and a 3G connection at the same time. So, 0.8.1-6 is definitely a big improvement on 0.8.1-4, but it looks like something is still more broken than before the 0.8.1-4 update.

The laptop is Dell 9400:
I have a Dell XPS M140 laptop running Fedora 13. I have the same issue with suspend/hibernate. I am locked up when I open the case & try to resume/unhibernate. Caps lock/numlock do not work, the system is unresponsive. the little round power light glows & hat is all. I have to power down & restart.
