Wilfried Nesensohn, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.39). 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 ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.39 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged =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/1062532 Title: [LENOVO 4290W1B] suspend/resume failure Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Suspend didn't work: The sleep light on the laptop flashed, but the laptop was unresponsive.
