markginter31is this a good place to ask questions about laptops suspending and resuming?12:22
persiaNot especially.  It's a good place to ask for help in reporting that a specific laptop has issues suspending and resuming with a specific default image or install, and get guidance to file a bug.12:27
markginter31I would like to do just such a thing :)  what files/info is needed?12:28
persiaUnfortunately, I'm not a good person to answer that :)12:28
persiaI think it's make, model, /var/log/dmesg, output of lspci -vvnn, output of lsusb -b (with no external devices), and a clear description of the results of attempts to suspend/hibernate or restore from either state.12:29
persiaIf nobody else gives better advice, I'd start with that.12:29
markginter31persia - excusing my ignorance -- do I post that here?12:29
persiamarkginter31, No, you'll want to file a bug on launchpad.12:30
* persia asks for more guidance12:30
markginter31persia -- ok.  I think I already have an account there.  It's frustrating because OpenSuse 11.1 beta5 suspends/resumes flawlessly -- but Ubuntu doesn't have the s2ram command which seems to be the only one that works on my laptop...12:31
persiaAccording to the folks in #ubuntu-bugs, "linux" might be a good package choice, so you'd want https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug12:31
markginter31wow - fast - thanks12:32
persiaThere's probably some way to get s2ram working, but best is to report precisely which version of ubuntu, and the details about the problem to the bug.12:33
persiaI don't know that s2ram is the right solution: although it may work, I suspect the right answer is to have one tool that works for everyone.12:33
markginter31persia - I assume that Fedora/SuSE/Ubuntu all use different tools to suspend?12:35
persiaI actually don't know.  I think there are a variety of competing methods on the net, and it may be that different distributions select the same tool or different ones.12:36
ottoshmidtA4Tech Webcam doesn't work properly on 8.10, it did on 8.04 :((((13:56
persiaottoshmidt, Report a bug against libv4l with detailed information about the Webcam, and tag it "regression".13:59
ottoshmidtnever done it before, dunno how :((13:59
markginter31ottoshmidt -- go to launchpad -- open an account -- file the bug (it steps you through) and done! :)14:02
