[Bug 472861] New: Guest 11.1 under vmware fails to hibernate.

Remember to specify local console after the remote. Reason: Invalid argument + RET=22 + set +x I have to check the s2disk code how this can happen. Carlos, could you please attach the autogenerated /var/lib/s2disk.conf (not that I think I will find something revealing in there, but just to be sure :-). Thanks! Oh, forgot one thing: please also attach the output of "dmesg" after such a failed suspend. That it fails silently is a gnome issue and should be reported separately against GNOME (I'm reporting the error back up the stack ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll try now to hibernate without serial port logging, which I had active in order to investigate another problem. [...] s2disk works. thawing works. Well, that's it, it works. At least, I have learned something. It's up to you to decide if there is still a bug or not.

Actually - if it is inside the guest, the kernel hackers will look at it... :-)

It's actually a valid test and I appreciate the testing and the bugreport! I'll look into the issue with the serial console. It is possible that it just does not work and is not easy to fix, then I might decide to "wontfix" it. It might also be that it is fixable, I don't know yet. ..at least suddenly the "strange" error message makes much more sense now ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Then I'll start again the virtual machine to get the log and report - but it will have to wait for next reboot (the last dbus update recommends a reboot), things are not stable right now.

Ok, I understand. I appreciate that you appreciate it ;-) Yes, indeed it makes more sense now. It's up to you to decide what to do finally, but I'm curious to know what comes out of it some time.

It does not suspend at all if the serial port is enabled, it refuses to suspend. Both in the virtual environment or the real one. You might be referring instead to comment #6: if I disable the serial port kernel logging, the the guest in vmware does suspend, but on resume it doesn't have a dhcp lease and can not get one, thus network is lost completely in the guest (no IP address). That is a different issue from this bugzilla, and I don't know how to determine if the culprit is the dhcp server inside vmware environment, or the dhcp client in the guest OS 11.1 If you want to investigate that, I'll open a new bugzilla and supply logs; but I have my doubts you really want to ;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

OK, I'll try to reproduce this one.

Not really. This may be a network driver issue in OS 11.1. Which network driver do you use? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
