how to avoid black screen after hibernate resume of xps13 9343 on ubuntu 15.10?

I just had a black screen after resume from pm-hibernate using the command-line workaround-no-more I posted above.

I have the same problem. Using Ubuntu 15.10. Older versions were also problematic. Updating to kernel 4.3.0 did not help either.

To reproduce: If I don't open any application (maybe just Terminal), it is OK. Hibernation and resume work fine. But if I open many applications, e.g., google-chrome, spotify, firefox, then hibernation/resume will definitely fail. Even if I close these applications, kill X, and hibernate from console, I still get a black screen after waking up from hibernation. It seems that going into hibernation is fine. When waking up, I still see 10%.... 100% image loaded. Then comes the black screen. After that, nothing works and it needs a shutdown (by holding the power button).

I found a solution: Use TuxOnIce, a modified kernel. Hibernation works a like a charm on it:

Maybe related to this issue ?

If yes, there is a workaround there assigning a key to turning dpms off and on again.

This morning hibernation failed on the Tuxonice kernel. Same symptoms: black screen after waking up from hibernation. Nothing works. But the Tuxonice kernel has a higher successful hibernation count.

I think it is unrelated to the random-black-screen issue. The laptop does not respond to any key after waking up and having a black screen.

any  problems I had with suspending (don't use hibernate though, only suspend to ram) were caused by the broadcom driver. Make sure you have the properly  patched version installed. (one that includes the patch from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1415880 )

suspend/resume works without panics or black screens in my 15.10 installation without any patches.

This is what I am using now.

Thanks for all the hibernate workarounds to everyone, even though it seems there are no rock solid ones.

Hope this problem gets solved upstream.

Same here. Suspend/resume works perfectly. The problem is with hibernation.

This morning, I installed the latest kernel, 4.4-rc2, from

Hibernation and resume on Ubuntu 15.10 work fine now. Yeay!

You have XPS 13? Do you have Broadcom or did you manually install intel?

Happy for you that Hibernate works!

Yes, it is XPS 13 9343. It came with an Intel Wifi.
