although the problem started happening around the time I updated gnome- power-manager, downgrading the package to the previous version does not seem to prevent the problem. Woke up to a computer again this morning that was not coming out of suspend. It seems that if I keep the lid of the netbook open it recovers fine, but not if I close it. The good news is that I believe today at around 10 when I tried to wake the computer up it was able to write a log just before crashing which I attach here. I will remove the non-free slamr kernel module to see if that helps. It's mentioned in the log around the time the crash happened. FWIW, I installed sl-modem packages on Oct. 21 which is also roughly in line with the time the problem started.
I experience this on all installed kernels, I believe. $ ls -1 /boot/vmlinuz-* /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-23-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-33-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-34-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-35-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-13-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-999-generic ** Attachment added: "syslog around time of hard reboot which occurred between 10:02:30 and 10:04:00" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/884017/+attachment/2595093/+files/syslog.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884017 Title: laptop does not recover from suspend Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I believe the fix for the rather unimportant bug 620693 introduced a serious regression for me. Recently, quite often I cannot recover a suspended laptop. A hard reboot is the only way out and this has meant lost data and other serious trouble for me at inopportune times. I will use this ticket to collect the necessary information and confirm that bug 620693 is indeed to blame for the regression.
