Announcement

**GreyGeek** · Aug 22, 2016, 08:41 PM

That appears to be a regression or bug, which affects both hardwired and wifi networks, but is hardware dependent. AFAIK, it affects random machines randomly. I am running Neon, which resulted from adding the Neon repository to 16.04, and suspend works normally on my Acer 7739-6830.
The hibernate option is not offered, however. Here's the reason:

While hardware incompatibilities are a major problem with hibernate, there’s one other common problem. Hibernate saves the contents of your RAM to your swap partition. Therefore, your swap partition must be at least as large as your RAM. If you have a 2GB swap partition and 4GB of RAM, hibernate won’t work properly.

So hibernate is disabled at install and is not offered on the menu system. It can be enabled, however.

One workaround for your suspend problem is
sudo nmcli nm sleep false

Another workaround is

sudo killall NetworkManager

which is like stopping a car by hitting a telephone pole!
One can also stop and start the service from a Konsole, or using the Systemd applet
in System Settings right mouse on "NetworkManager.service" and chose "stop", and then
right mouse on it again and choose "start".

Some information on suspend and hibernate for 12.04 through 16.04:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...-action.8.html

Here is Ubuntu's article on "Understanding Suspend"
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend

Bad packages (swsusp, hibernate) can interfere with /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, so make sure they are purged.

But that article is five years old and I don't know if those caveats or the article itself still applies.

EDIT:
I decided to suspend my laptop last night, instead of turning it off, and I left it suspended until this morning, 12 hours later. I touched the Enter key and the desktop re-appeared, with everything working normally EXCEPT one thing: my wireless connection kept cycling between connected and disconnected. My eth0 connection remained stable. I rebooted and my wireless connection resumed stable operations. It is a RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01).

Thanks for the response! I tried everything except re-enabling hibernate.

Unfortunately my wireless is still hard blocked after a suspend and trying some of the workarounds.

For the first command:

sudo nmcli nm sleep false

This one does not work for me because I believe I have a different version on nmcli. Object nm does not exist. The version number is 1.2.0.

For the second command:

sudo killall NetworkManager

After the NetworkManager restarts, my wireless is still hard blocked.

I also tried

systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
systemctl start NetworkManager.service

but to no avail.

I also believe the "Understanding Suspend" is most likely outdated because /etc/acpi/sleep.sh does not exist for me.

If it helps at all, I'm using an HP Pavilion Notebook and my wireless is Intel Wireless 3160.

**GreyGeek** · Aug 23, 2016, 03:10 PM

mmm... Is there a mechanical switch controlling the wireless on that box? I've seen some older dv7's that had a light which turned on with the wireless was on, but if you pressed the light it turned the wireless off.

**goldrush** · Aug 23, 2016, 04:01 PM

No mechanical switch. My computer is only a year old.

running rfkill list in a Konsole.

Code:

The man page for rfkill shows:

RFKILL(8) System Manager's Manual RFKILL(8)

NAME
rfkill - tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices

SYNOPSIS
rfkill [options] command

OPTIONS
--version
Show the version of rfkill.

COMMANDS
help Show rfkill's built-in help text.

event Listen for rfkill events and display them on stdout.

list [type]
List the current state of all available rfkill-using devices, or just all of the given type.

block index|type
Disable the device corresponding to the given index. type is one of "all", "wifi", "wlan", "bluetooth", "uwb",
"ultrawideband", "wimax", "wwan", "gps", "fm" or "nfc".

unblock index|type
Enable the device corresponding to the given index. If the device is hard-blocked, e.g. via a hardware switch, it
will remain unavailable though it is now soft-unblocked.

THe "list" option will tell you the name of your devices as rfkill sees them, and then you can use "rfkill unblock <type>" to unblock it.

This is before a suspend.

Code:

[FONT=monospace]:~$ rfkill list
[/FONT]0: hci0: Bluetooth        
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

This is after a suspend.

Code:

[FONT=monospace]:~$ rfkill list
[/FONT]1: phy0: Wireless LAN        
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

So I can't use rfkill unblock 1 since it would only unblock soft blocks.

**GreyGeek** · Aug 24, 2016, 01:23 PM

Did you try
sudo rfkill unblock all
?

Being "hard blocked" usually means that your PC has a mechanical switch which may have been accidentally slid to the off position. More modern laptops have replaced mechanical switches with keyboard control switches which use circuits to do what switches used to do. Check your laptop manual or carefully examine your function keys to see if a key combination (like Fn+F8) turns your wifi on or off. Since it is hard blocked there has to be a mechanical way (your fingers).

Another possible solution is to toggle the airplane mode (if it is on your nm dialog) and reboot. Also, you can check in your BIOS and see if something disabled it there, IF there is a wifi enable/disable setting in your BIOS.

To get more complete information about your system run the following script in a Konsole and post the output file into QUOTE's

Code:

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && \ 
./wireless-info

Focussing on the wireless might not be useful here. My 16.04 desktop has no wi-fi, just ethernet, and it becomes "deactivated" if I suspend and resume. (It boots in seconds, the POST being much the longest step, so no suspend is a minor nuisance.)

True, which is why, after all the usual cures failed, I suggested the wget command which gathers all the info about the hardware in one fell swoop.

**goldrush** · Aug 25, 2016, 12:13 PM

sudo rfkill unblock all did not work for me.

I went through my BIOS and set it back to defaults, did not fix the problem unfortunately.

I found out f12 switches on and off my wifi, but after a suspend my f12 key does not work anymore.

I ran the script, here is my system information:

The reasons can vary:

Something’s broken

Getting a 169.254 address simply tells you that the machine cannot reach the DHCP server over the network.

Something isn’t working, but exactly what is difficult to say.

If you’re connected via a NAT router, then either your computer is not actually connected on the network to that router, or the router itself isn’t responding to the DHCP request. I suggest triple-checking your cabling and wireless settings, and perhaps rebooting the router and/or wireless access point. If you have a wireless connection, sometimes simply disabling and re-enabling it can resolve some situations, as might rebooting your computer.
If you’re connected to the internet directly, then there’s a problem with that connection. Check the cabling to your broadband modem, and check the cabling from your broadband modem to your telephone or cable line. And, if all else fails, call your ISP – it may actually be their DHCP server or some other item they control that’s at fault.

Bottom line: if you’re getting a 169.254 IP address, something about your network setup isn’t working,

I noticed that your computer wifi chip is able to pick a variety of ESSID's besides your 'iPhone". Are you using an iPhone as a hotspot?

And if 'yes', have you put the access code the iPhone is generating into your wireless connection settings?

Yes I did use an iPhone hotspot when I ran the script, with the connection between my computer and hotspot setup correctly. However, it should not be the hotspot that is the issue, I've had this wireless issue on every network I've tried connecting to. Right now, I do not see the connection with getting a 169.254.0.0 address and my wireless not working after a suspend. When I get the chance, I can also try an Ethernet connection and see if anything is different.
