When first installed hardy, suspend worked fine, but wifi card did not. Got wifi working (atheros madwifi driver, headache to get going), now computer will not suspend or hibernate, but it shuts down and starts up fine. Cannot copy script from suspend action, it locks up. Once it stops up, i can end the display manager and restart the computer (ctrl-alt-del) without a hard shutdown, but it never hits suspend completely and will not return to the desktop. I've just switched to Ubuntu from Vista just a few days ago, and this is the last of my major issues that I haven't been able to work through.

Interesting idea. I booted up with the 8.04 live CD, and it seemed to suspend just fine. Ideally i'd like to figure out how to fix this without taking out the hard drive, if it seems that's only solution then I'll be fine with it. I'm suspecting that it may be some driver conflicts in the registry, I'm really not sure how to go about finding out where it is or what to edit.

Thank you very much for your help so far.

I could not disable the wireless modules through the terminal. There are 2 running, ath_pci and ath_hal. Attempting to disable ath_pci responds "Segmentation Fault", and ath_hal responds "FATAL: module ath_hal is in use".
I hand-copied the readout of the display when suspend freezes. It looks something like this:

- ==========
- code: ** ** ** ** ** (hexidecimal code)
- EIP: [<f8df0e7e>] ieee80211_virtfs_vdetatch +0x8e/0xf0 [wlan] SS:ES P 0068:f295le64
- --[Endtrace 02840c45b4a9336e]--

then it stops. It doesn't respond to any keystrokes, but hitting crl-alt-del shuts down GNOME display manager, and then after it shuts down ctrl-alt-del needs hit again to actually restart. On the shutdown readout, i saw the message:

- Stopping wireless access point roaming daemon: (no such file or directory)

i don't know if this may have something to do with the problem.

Running the quirk-checker.sh script responds "Suspend should work!"

That's where I'm at so far. Still etching away at it.
Thanks.

I disabled the 2 atheros wifi drivers using the GUI proprietary driver manager, (hardware settings?), and rebooted system. Computer still does not completely suspend, but there is no text displayed this time, just a blinking cursor in the corner of the screen.

OK. Are you sure those two modules are not loaded ? you can check using the "lsmod" command.

I don't really know what the quirk checker does, but on my computer, it said that suspend should work, but still, I needed to add a quirk to get it working properly. I strongly advise you to try some quirks. The first thing to do is to try to suspend without X.org running. To do that, switch to a console (ctrl+alt+F1) , log in, and kill gdm (or kdm if you are running kubuntu), by

sudo killall -9 gdm

then try to suspend by

sudo pm-suspend

Tell me if that works

I double checked the loaded modules, and then tried to suspend again, and it worked!!
I installed the windows wireless driver for the card with ndiswrapper, and now it works just fine.
Thanks a bunch.

Thanks Olivier, that solved my question.
