After upgrading to Lion, when the Mac goes to hibernation, due to the low battery, and after the resume, some applications tend to crash.
MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010,
2,66 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB (+integrated intel GPU)
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b
Does anyone have similar situation ?
Tnx
Best regard,
Emil
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I have experienced this exact same problem on two separate occasions.
Firefox and Xcode both crash when returning from hibernation.
Happens to me all the time. For me, Evernote always crashes. Firefox, Mail, Witch, and others frequently crash too. Console says Segmentation Fault. Kind of defeats the purpose of hibernation
Try clearing the sleep image file on your system by running the following command in the Terminal:
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
After doing this, clear the PRAM and reset the SMC on your system (see here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379, and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964), and then see if the problem persists.
You might also try running a permissions fix and drive verification/repair routine using Disk Utility, to ensure file access and filesystem/partition map integrity are intact.
I also started to experience this problem after upgrading to 10.7.3. Now, in 10.7.4 it still exist. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
It is very easy to reproduce with the following steps.
1. Set standby (aka hibernate) timeout after sleep to some small value (to not wait when battery will exhaust), say 60 seconds:
$ sudo pmset standbydelay 60
Closing the lid will make it sleep (as usual) and after 60 secs it will go to snadby (hibernate).
2. Now try to open lid. Voila! More probably it will not recover from standby, so it will just reboot trying ot restart the applications that were running. (The same effect as just from hard reset with all these programs running.)
