I believe that this issue is also affecting me. I've uploaded error reports via the error reporter, but I'm unsure how to associate them with this bug report.
I have followed the directions to use a newer mainline kernel and it *seems* to have resolved the issue for me. What are the issues with me staying on a mainline kernel? I'm seeing some complaints from Virtualbox not being able to install the modules. The kernel I have installed that seems to be working is: ╰─➤ uname -a Linux xps15 3.17.1-031701-generic #201410150735 SMP Wed Oct 15 11:36:31 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Please advise on how I can help move this forward. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1412748 Title: Suspend crashes and causing the computer shut down on Dell XPS 15 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 14.10: After updating ubuntu around the 8th of January, suspending causing system crash.
