[SOLVED] suspend / resume with .xinitrc

Hello,

I want to use suspend without a desktop- or login-manager  - just .xinitrc and startx (OpenRC). The command I tried is "loginctl suspend". The machine seems to suspend and reacts on a keystroke then (wakes up), but the screen stays black and I can do nothing.

When doing "loginctl suspend" from the commandline everything seems to work, but not from FVWM / XServer. 
Something must be missing or I am doing it wrong.. (?)

I believe it still should be working just fine.

I also login in tty and than run startx (my alias to add some options to it) and suspend works fine.
I use the same command you mentioned
Code: [Select]
loginctl suspend

I have to start my WM with dbus-launch to make some things work.
I have in my ~/.xinitrc following line (apart from other settings)
Code: [Select]
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session $1
where $1 is in my case always "openbox-session"

Errors:
From time to time I experience that system just freezes after waking up from suspend and I have no will to investigate it.

I have now added the two options "--sh-syntax" and  "--exit-with-x11" but still not working. I have looked for a hint in /var/log but did not yet find something.

my .xinitrc :
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

#userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
#usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
#sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
#sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

#if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
#    xrdb -merge $sysresources
#fi

#if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
#    xmodmap $sysmodmap
#fi

#if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then
#    xrdb -merge "$userresources"
#fi

#if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
#    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
#fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi

#eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh)
#export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-x11 fvwm

without providing any logs we only could use a crystal ball to help you…

Code: [Select]
lspci
Code: [Select]
dmesg
Code: [Select]
 cat /var/log/Xorg.n.log

if machine suspends, will problably not problem with .xinitrc

ok, here are the files/logs :

edit: there was an unused graphics card still plugged into the mainboard. (Turks ) which is deactivated in the bios.
I have just removed it, to see if it changes something. but it does not seem to change something.

dmesg show some errors

Code: [Select]

i see in lspci, you have two graphics cards, can happens, that after resume going signal to second graphic card?

can you put here dmesg after suspend ?

Re: suspend / resume with .xinitrc

sure, but -- how can i get a dmesg after suspend?

after suspend i must reset/ reboot before i can do something again.

ohh, sorry, i forgott  :D  :D

On some systems, turning off the discrete GPU before the X server is initialized may hang the system. In such cases, it may be better to disable the GPU after X server initialization, which is possible with some display managers. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hybrid_graphics

do you use both graphics? how switch you between they both? Can you disable one graphics and try suspend?

Re: suspend / resume with .xinitrc

The second card, the "Turks" card, was still built in, but disabled in the BIOS.

I have removed it now and tried again, but it didn't help. BIOS is set to use the CPU (or GPU) graphics. I think the processor has graphic cores.

ok,

can you please install any display manager, run your WM/DE from it and see, if same error?  can be hw error, or maybe after all some missing in your configuration...

Ok, I have executed : "sudo rc-update add xdm" and rebootet and started fvwm.

Both commands, "loginctl suspend" and "loginctl hibernate" shutted down the PC and woke up after pressing a key and brought me back to fvwm. :)

I had decided to try an .xinitrc setup because with xdm/lightdm i can't open my hard disk raid in thunar per click. I believe i need the "dbus-launch" command..  (..like "dbus-launch fvwm")

edit: or maybe i have to make an alias for thunar (dbus-launch thunar). I don't know what is better.

I am now using xdm (with lightdm) and have  changed the exec line in "/usr/share/xsessions/fvwm.desktop" from "fvwm" to "dbus-launch fvwm".
Now thunar seems to work right and gajim, for example, too (gajim could not save a password in gnome-keyring without the "dbus-launch").

And: "loginctl suspend" works.  It's no more an .xinitrc setup, but i think I'll leave it that way for now.
