Gavin Panella, as per http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/VGN- SR29XN_S/updates an update is available for your BIOS (R1130Y1). 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 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-r1130y1 needs-upstream-testing regression- release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged =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/1055419 Title: [Sony Corporation VGN-SR29XN_S] suspend/resume failure Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Suspend and resume last worked on Lucid on this machine, iirc. I'm used to not having suspend, but I would very much like the option to disable suspect/resume entirely, so that I cannot accidentally hit it in a menu for example. If I do, and I have, I instantly lose everything that I haven't saved; it is as effective as pulling out the battery.
