http://ubuntuforums.org – 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). Nothing I can do will return the computer to normal either, and I have to forcibly shut it down with the power switch. I have just recently installed 12.04, and I have Myunity and compiz config installed, and transmission is usually running (i made sure the "dont hibernate button& (Hardware)

I just installed installed 12.10, and suspend is not working. Here are more details: When I select suspend from the power menu, the screen goes black (with the monitor still running), but the computer is still running. Num Lock works, but Caps Lock doesn't work (see below).

I have a new install of 64-bit karmic (Gnome and KDE), dualbooting with XP on a desktop with the ASUS M3N78-EM Mobo.

Hi there,

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Toshiba laptop and having trouble getting it to suspend when idle.

In system -> preferences -> power management, under the 'battery power' tab I have set it to 'put computer to sleep when inactive for 11 minutes'.

Fedora 18 Suspend to RAM Problems 16 weeks 18 hours ago

Hello

I recently installed Fedora 18 on my machine and have spend a few days on configuring it. I am using the kernel version 3.7.4.

I have unfortunately faced the following two very strange issues that I couldn't solve them:

1. Suspend to RAM does not work. When I choose suspend I get the black text mode screen with log messages but the system does not 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).

Since switching to Karmic, suspend and hibernate are not working consistently on my Toshiba Satellite. I have it set to hibernate when I close the lid, but doing so only turns off the screen. The suspend and hibernate keys on my keyboard also no longer work. When I select these options from the menu, the computer will suspend or hibernate properly.

I hardly ever put my laptop on suspend/hibernate, so I don't know how long I've had this issue for. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10. When I turn my laptop back on again from suspend- a blank screen shows up and none of the keyboard buttons/touch-pad respond; only way to recover is holding down the power button to restart.

Ive looked around a bit and cant find anything recent on this so here goes.

Before i upgraded to 9.10 i could suspend using the hot key on my keyboard, i could not how ever use the hibernate hot key. I could also use the suspend AND hibernate buttons on the K menu and both worked fine.

I need to lock the screen when my computer is waken up from memory suspend,

So I tried to put the following script to /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d and /etc/pm/sleep.d, but it never got executed,

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) ;; thaw|resume) vlock -ans ;; *) exit $NA ;; esac

P.S It's pm-suspend not pm-hibernate.
