Stories similar to [ubuntu] Live USB Ubuntu (screen?) fails to restart after suspend

I have an external hard drive connected to my laptop via a USB connection.

When I boot up the laptop, the external drive gets mounted just fine.

When the laptop is running - with this external drive mounted - I sometimes need to suspend the laptop. So, I will select "Log Out", and then select "Suspend".

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and my laptop* won't wake from sleep/suspend/hibernate. (Is sleep the same thing as suspend?) I'm not even sure which of these things it's doing. When I am done working for the day, I lock my screen (Control-Alt-L).

Hi !

I've just bought a new laptop, an Asus G60JX-JX040V :

Intel Core i5 430M 4 GB RAM Nvidia GTS 360M

It works great with Ubuntu, except that i can't suspend or hibernate. For suspending : the screen becomes black, the hard driver powers off, but the laptop doesn't power off : there is a blinking white dash on a black screen ...

I am more or less a complete Linux noob, and using 12.04 for the first time. Everything works great, and I am very happy, but there is one exception: suspend won't resume. Every time I suspend my computer, (whether by clicking suspend or by closing the lid) it goes to a black screen (with the backlight on) but there is no way to wake it up.

I have a compaq presario v2405us (which is a v2000z with a sempron cpu).

hi everyone, I have a little problem with my laptop.this is the way I suspend my laptop: I open a terminal and type "sudo pm-utils", suspends perfect, then I push the power button, everything resumes fine, but if I don't stop kill the pm-suspend command (ctrl + c) the laptop go to suspend again.  there is a way to avoid this?

[ubuntu] Won't suspend 48 weeks 5 days ago

Hi, my computer is having issues when I try to put it to sleep (suspend). When I close my laptop (in power settings, i have ti set to suspend) or hit the suspend but in the menu bar, the computer screen goes black (but still backlit) and it continues to run (also, the wifi indicator shows that wifi is turn off).

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, my laptop is HP DV4-1125nr. When I press suspend button the display goes black and nothing happens, when I move mouse the login screen appears, when I type in the password everything is like before, all applications are opened like before. Hibernation works fine, the problem is only with suspending.

looking forward for tips.

Running 9.10 on a dell inspiron e1705. It has an ati x1400 and I am using the built in radeon driver. Laptop suspends and resumes almost flawlessly (screen is dim on resume, but keyboard hotkey works to increase it).
