Pat Robinson, because Samsung does not easily reveal what the latest BIOS is for this model, could you please download the latest firmware software as per http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/NP530U3B-A01UK-downloads, and advise if a BIOS update is available? If so, when you update to this, does it change anything? If it doesn't, 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
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-v3.5-rc7 -- 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/1027368 Title: [Samsung NP530U3B-A01UK] Laptop does not suspend on lid close Status in The Linux Kernel: Incomplete Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my wife's laptop, (a Samsung NP530U3B), all goes well except when I close the lid it does not suspend. I've checked the settings and it is set to suspend on lid close, though does not. Things I've noticed are: 1 - Clicking suspend in the power menu works fine. 2 - When I cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state it always returns open, even when closed, (I ran a script that looped the cat then closed the lid) 3 - Running the latest Ubuntu 12.10 alpha 2 does not work either. 4 - The latest mainstream kernel 'linux-image-3.5.0-999-generic_3.5.0-999.201207190406_i386' does not work either. 5 - One odd thing was that after installing the latest bios on the laptop using Windows 7, then restarting into Ubuntu worked once, then it never worked again. I tried booting in to Windows then rebooting back in to Ubuntu to see if that is what changed something but it did not work that time.
