[Bug 1252121] Re: missing PrepareForSleep signal after resuming, causing networking to stay disabled

 

It is still happening in Xubuntu 14.10. After coming back from suspend
(closed the laptop lid), NetworkManager is asleep:

RUNNING         STATE           WIFI-HARDWARE   WIFI       WWAN-HARDWARE   WWAN      
running         asleep          enabled         enabled    enabled         disabled

This workaround works for me: created script /etc/pm/sleep.d/49network-
manager:

#!/bin/sh
#
# work around a NetworkManager bug, waking it up after resume (sometimes it
# stays sleeping after resume)
#

case "$1" in
    suspend|hibernate)
	;;

    resume|thaw)
	nmcli nm status
	nmcli dev status
	state=`nmcli -t -f STATE nm status`
	if [ "$state" = "asleep" ]; then
	    echo "waking up NetworkManager"
	    nmcli nm sleep false
	    nmcli nm status
	fi
	;;
esac

exit 0

I had removed it to test whether the problem had gone away, but put it
back when confirmed it hadn't been solved yet.

  ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1

  SRU INFORMATION:
  FIX: https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/commit/9e1ebe3ab (in trusty already)

  Regression potential: Low. Flushing the session bus was introduced in
  version 4 and is obviously bogus as in a system D-BUS service there is
  no session bus. This causes lots of confusing error messages and
  unnecessary overhead like trying to start dbus-launch. Flushing the
  system bus is low-risk, in most cases it's a no-op and it would
  otherwise prevent losing signals after waking up. No known
  regressions.

  TEST CASE: Run several suspend/resume cycles with the lid, session
  indicator menu, and verify that the network comes back up. It is known
  that this fix is necessary but not sufficient, so it is not expected
  to fix all cases. But it should not make things worse, so if network
  now does not come up any more on a machine where it previously worked
  this would count as failure/regression.
