How to Install Tuxonice in Ubuntu

Sponsored Link
"TuxOnIce is most easily described as the Linux equivalent of Windows' hibernate functionality, but better. It saves the contents of memory to disk and powers down. When the computer is started up again, it reloads the contents and the user can continue from where they left off. No documents need to be reloaded or applications reopened and the process is much faster than a normal shutdown and start up." -- tuxonice.net

Tuxonice is an alternative way to hibernate your machine than the standard ubuntu power manager way. It generally claims to be more configurable and flexible than the standard method, with faster hibernate and resume times.

find the line that says “Compressor lzf” and change to “Compressor lzo

if there is no SuspendDevice option, create one as below, changing the device to your own swap drive location (on mine it is sda7).

## useful for initrd usage:
SuspendDevice swap:/dev/sda7

You can also use the filewriter option described below, however I have not been able to get this working on my system yet so can't provide more detailed instructions.

“For the file allocator, you should first prepare your hibernation file – this can be done by configuring your hibernate.conf file with the “FilewriterLocation” option, and running hibernate --no-suspend. Then take a look in /sys/power/tuxonice/resume for what to pass to your kernel. You should see something like file:/dev/hda7:0x10011f, in which case you should append “resume=file:/dev/hda7:0x10011f” as a kernel parameterin your lilo.conf file or GRUB’s menu.lst.” – http://www.tuxonice.net/HOWTO-2.html”

If the line below is not there put it in.

ProcSetting userui_program /usr/lib/tuxonice-userui/tuxoniceui_usplash

gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

add resume=swap:/dev/sda7 to the end of the new kernel line. (changing the device to your swap drive, or hibernation file)

add resume=swap:/dev/sda7 noresume to the recovery option below the above entry.This is useful in case something goes wrong, you can use the recovery option to bypass resuming.

reboot. hibernate. resume.

If all went well your system should resume to the same state you were in before hibernation.

    pretty cool; i can get it to hibernate but not to restore— ie after it shows the tuxonice splash and shuts down I reboot to find a normal boot.
    Can’t find anything indicative in the logs…

    Also, there was no tuxonice.conf file, just some similar looking suspend2.conf file which i renamed to no avail…
    Anyone have any ideas? I am sure that I’ve specified my swap file as the location to save to, in the conf and in grub.

  2. intosamadhi says:

    Sorry I forgot to include the hibernate script from tuxonice.net:

    http://www.tuxonice.net/downloads/all/hibernate-script-2.0.tar.gz

    run ./install.sh in the directory where you have extracted the files. this will add files to /etc/hibernate and you can then edit tuxonice.conf

    your system should resume properly once this is installed

  3. yochai says:

    I extracted the tarball and installed the script; then edited the tuxonice.conf file as necessary— still no-can-do.
    Am I supposed to follow just your walkthrough, or both? Because they say to update initramfs,
    Like this:

    “. add a “do_resume” hook to the initramfs. I don’t know why this is needed as REPLACE_SWSUSP is enabled, but my system doesn’t resume without it.”

    What from their guide should we be doing?

    One note: In your example you say that the grub entry should be like this:

    resume=swap:/dev/sda6 (my swap partition)

    but shouldn’t it be:

    resume=/dev/sda6

    Neither seems to have any effect on the restore, though.

    thanks

  4. intosamadhi says:

    just follow my walkthrough, I posted their walkthrough mainly as a reference.

    the tarball adds the hook to iniramfs, all you need to do is extract it and copy paste the extracted directories onto the root filesystem.

    If you are still having problems, check your dmesg for the first few lines after startup to see if their are any error messages. It took me a while to get the resume working, using the tarball provided did the job for me in the end.

    The line added to grub should be resume=swap:/ or resume=file:/

    Check to make sure you are specifiying the right dev for your swap drive.

  5. yochai says:

    dmesg gives this output:

  6. intosamadhi says:

    you need to change sda6 to the location of your own swap drive.

    if you don’t have gparted installed use:
    sudo apt-get install gparted

    system->admin->partition editor

    look and see which of your partitions is labelled ‘swap’ and change the tuxonice grub and conf entries accordingly

  7. yochai says:

    yeah i used fdisk from the beginning; i know which my swap-file is. gparted has a tendency to do funky things when you use it to do anything besides view your partitions. anyways i know that my swap file is correctly noted as i can hibernate—if i change the dev node it is attached to it doesn’t hibernate at all.
    as a note, everytime i hibernate, and resume, and i do swapon -s, it shows no swap file. so if i do swapoff -a, it fixes it after a reboot.

  8. intosamadhi says:

    sorry, forgot my swap was sda7 and assumed you had just copy pasted it.

    what happens when you run sudo hibernate -n ?

    this will test the hibernation and display any errors without actually hibernating.

  12. yochai says:

    I actually think this isn’t an issue with the hibernate script but perhaps with grub or something else. sorry to use up so many comments but it has a limit to how much i can type. thanks for you help, btw.

  13. yochai says:

    Not sure if this matters but after hibernate (which seems to work) and I resume (doesn’t work), sudo less /var/log/messages shows this towards the top:

    Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.28-13-generic
    Jun 13 18:42:55 yochai-laptop kernel: Cannot find map file.

  14. intosamadhi says:

    it seems that those messages after running hibernate are just warnings because of the duplicate files. I don’t have /usr/share/hibernate on my system, so this may something specific to yours.

    Are you seeing the ubuntu boot splash when you run hibernate -n ?

    Are you using an encrypted swap drive ?

    Try using the filewriter option. Uncomment the filewriter options in tuxonice.conf, comment out the SuspendDevice line. then execute sud hibernate -n. It should tell you that it is creating the hibernate image. After it finishes it should spit out an abort error, saying resume is not set up properly. It will give you the entry to add to grub. run cat /sys/power/tuxonice/resume to be sure.

  15. yochai says:

    When I do hibernate -n (with SuspendDevice uncommented) I don’t get any splash screen. When I comment out the line like you suggested, it does pretty much the same thing, and gives no abort error. In fact the output is identical.
    cat /sys/power/tuxonice/resume gives:
    file:/dev/sda6

    I am not using an encrypted swap. I have also reformatted and prepared my swap drive to see if that helped. it didn’t.

  16. yochai says:

    I should mention that when I run hibernate from the command line it shows the ubuntu splash screen (with added verbosity) as it hibernates, then when it resumes it does the same thing as before.
    If I hibernate from the gnome panel it shows the tuxonice logo and pretty much does the same thing.

  17. intosamadhi says:

    it seems to me that it is ignoring the tuxonice.conf file. Did it create a suspend_file when you changed to the filewriter option ?

    Try reverting the changes (ie, comment out filewriter and re-enable the swap drive option, with the entry in grub as well)

    sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.28-13-generic

    check if there is any output and let me know if there is.

    try hibernating now

  18. yochai says:

    A bit confused about the filewriter option, when I initially tried to add the option to the .conf, it kept spitting out problems with the location I was adding — and after checking the /sys/power/tuxonice/resume file, I saw that it was spitting out the right swap partition. Should I have been using a swap file instead? I ended up removing the option from the hibernate.conf file.
    I added the swap partition to GRUB like this:
    swap:/dev/sda6
    NOT the way described in the italics above.
    Am I missing something?

  19. intosamadhi says:

    the entries for the filewriter option which I’ve used are

    #FilewriterLocation /suspend_file 2000
    #SuspendDevice file:/dev/sda6:0x20008

    it should create a file on the root filesystem

    according to tuxonice.net:
    “You must set the resume= kernel option to the swap partition or file location you want to use for hibernating. For swap storage, if your swap partition is, for instance, the third primary one on first ide disk (/dev/hda3) you have to append “resume=swap:/dev/hda3″ as a kernel parameter in your lilo.conf file or GRUB’s menu.lst.”

    I think the problem is with initrd.

    take a look in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount and check that tuxonice_do_resume has 755 permissions. do the same for /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/tuxonice_userui

    you can also call

    sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume

    this will exclude the old resume script from the initrd image, which may be causing a conflict.

    then run
    sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.28-13-generic

    also check your /etc/initramfs-tools and tell me what it looks like. Mine only has 3 config files in the base directory and a bunch of empty directories. I’m looking for anything that my be conflicting with the resume call in the initrd image.

    Also post your grub entry.

  20. yochai says:

    I get this:
    root=UUID=59e82a2d-6460-42c0-8b35-6d3e12cc0af7 resume=file:/dev/sda1:0x85c000 ro quiet splash

    which is the kernel options I specified in GRUB. As root, I can see that I have no /usr/share/initframs-tools/scripts/local-premount/tuxonice_userui OR tuxonice_do_resume —
    I have only these three files:
    ntfs-3g
    resume
    uswsusp
    I have only these files/folders in my /etc/initramfs-tools directory:
    conf.d hooks initramfs.conf modules scripts update-initramfs.conf

    My grub entry is like this:

    title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-13-generic
    uuid 59e82a2d-6460-42c0-8b35-6d3e12cc0af7
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic root=UUID=59e82a2d-6460-42c0-8b35-6d3e12cc0af7 resume=file:/dev/sda1:0x85c000 ro quiet splash
    initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic
    quiet

  21. intosamadhi says:

    ok, the reason it doesn’t resume is because the do_resume script is missing. Did you extract the tarball from this link ? – http://lists.tuxonice.net/lurker/attach/[email protected]

    you should extract it and copy the 2 directories inside the tuxonice directory to your root fs. (that was what the mv … commands were for in the howto)

    once that is done, update initramfs and you should be sorted. reboot and then try hibernating.

  22. intosamadhi says:

    you may still need to chmod the old resume script to 644 as I mentioned previously.

  23. yochai says:

    Yes of course I followed the howto… i moved those files AND ran the script as root… i think perhaps there is a permissions issue. i’ll run a diff and see what’s missing.

  24. yochai says:

    Right I did do that. brb.

  25. yochai says:

    Yeah I re-moved the necessary files. I checked all permissions. Updated initramfs.
    One thing I find interesting, whenever I try a hibernate (which it does successfully) it at first complains about the /suspend-file I previously created. I have to delete it. Then it recreates it when i run the hibernate script. Then it fails to hibernate as it can’t map a swap file. so I do swapoff -a, then swapon /dev/sda6 (swapon -s shows nothing). then it says “invalid argument” at which point I do “mkswap /dev/sda6” then repeat the swapon command. It finally hibernates.
    It now shows the ubuntu logo while hibernating, although is a bit more verbose. Initially it showed the tuxonice one.
    I will reinstall the packages now.

  26. yochai says:

    Ok so I reinstalled the packages and updated initramfs, but now on reboot the filesystem segfaults. I can boot into a previous kernel version. When I run update-initramfs (with different arguments each time) it always spits out…
    This kernel does not seem to support TuxOnIce user interface, skipping…

    And I’m stuck now, unable to boot with the newest kernel.
    hope you can help me. thanks for the help, so far! i’m learning.

  27. intosamadhi says:

    I know how frustrating this can be.

    Have you tried taking out the resume line in the grub entry for the newest kernel ? You could try changing the initrd line in grub to a previous version as well, or maybe even omitting it (untested)

    In truth I haven’t managed to get the suspend_file working on mine either so I just use my swap drive. When I try to hibernate with a suspend_file it outputs an abort message.

  28. intosamadhi says:

    If the above fails, try going back to the state you were in before starting this. ie. boot to the previous kernel. Uninstall the latest kernel, make sure all the files are removed from /boot/ and remove the grub entries. Delete the files from the tuxonice tarball and reset any permissions you changed.

    Then start from scratch, install the latest kernel …..

    Yeah i need to uninstall this big time cause i did something wrong and my nvidia driver failed and now it is starting X into 2 dif consoles.

    Could you explain how to delete the newest kernel and then post a link to how to install a newer one please i owuld be much obliged for it.

  30. intosamadhi says:

    uninstall it using synaptic. You may need to manually remove the grub entries.

    unless you uninstalled all previous versions of the kernel. In which case you may need to use a live cd. backup your /boot directory and copy paste the /boot directory from the livecd onto your root fs (I haven’t tested this so have no idea what will happen!)
