Andrew Boie, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/precision-m4600 an update is available for your BIOS (A15). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a15 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/996672 Title: Dell M4600 very slow after resume Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Dell M4600 (BIOS A10) with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
