I sort of fixed it in Ubuntu 13.10 Daily. I managed to figure out that the link/icon calling su ubiquity to install from the LiveCD fails in the current daily images, so I ran sudo ubiquity from terminal and got Ubuntu to install, I then was able to install the Propietary nVidia drivers and restart. The very next time I booted my PC I was able to sleep and wake without any problems at all. So the issue must lay in the nouevau driver and not the kernel or xorg (or be an incompatibility with them and the default driver).
Well I'd prefer to be using Kubuntu but as it's additional drivers app crashes whenever I try and run it I'll have to wait until the final 13.10 Build to switch back. but for now I am very happy to have a Linux OS that sleeps properly. I didn't need to apply any work arounds, kernel updates or special packages to have it work, just the drivers. -- 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/1224221 Title: Problem with Sleep/Wake in Ubuntu 13.04 and greater Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am using a nVidia Graphics with default drivers and I am unable to wake up my system without it being crashed with garbage on the screen. This happens in LiveCD mode or installed and all versions of Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Gbunutu that I have tested, all of them are the same result. This has stopped moving to Linux when I need it most (Windows 8/8.1 is terrible) I had reported that I thought it was due to dual graphics (Switchable) but I've disabled the intel graphics in BIOS and the problem persisted. I think this is a Kernel level problem or perhaps xOrg related. I can offer no other information as the only thing I can do is reboot the system and disable sleep entirely.
