With v3.15-rc5-utopic -- wireless mouse was detected -- unable to connect to my VPN so reverted back to 3.13.0-27-generic
I woke up this morning to find my machine had suspended to a black screen using 3.13.0-27-generic. I am now almost certain the issue is entirely related to light-locker and xfce4-power-manager and will not be resolved until those packages are updated. The issue with the disappearing wireless mouse on reboot (which seems to be entirely random because sometimes it is not present and other times is detected normally even when the *same* kernel is used) would be Samsung's lack of transparency with their hardware. If someone could tell me what the kernel developers need to include better support for Samsung laptops I would happily try contacting Samsung to plead for better support. -- 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/1320554 Title: [Samsung NP350E5C-A02AU] Suspend hang with blank screen on lid open Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm using a Samsung NP350E5C laptop and I've been having strange issues. I gave up on Xubuntu 13.10 and went back to Xubuntu 13.04 until Xubuntu 14.04 LTS came out. I'd hoped that the strange issues had been resolved but since doing a clean install I have been dogged by weird issues. Here's what is causing me grief at the moment. I leave my laptop on 24/7 and just close the lid when I am away from the machine. I go into the system's power settings to disable suspend and hibernation so that closing the lid does does nothing. With the kernel that 14.04 shipped with it was as though those settings were completely ignored. I'd close the lid and when I opened it again, there was a blank screen and I was unable to do anything at all, not even start an alternative log in. The only option was to hold the power button until the machine ungracefully turned off. I then applied some hacks I found on line to permanently disable hibernation and suspend. I've also installed all the newer kernels as they have been offered in synaptic. The problem changed to being **intermittent** - my system would randomly hang when I opened the lid. With the latest two kernels (including the 27 one that just came out) it is now happening **more often**! I'll wake up in the morning, open my laptop and there's the blank screen with no way to wake the system up. I wonder if there is something strange with Samsung laptops and the kernels at the moment. I have to add the acpi_vendor backlight tweak to get the brightness working correctly. And for the first kernel releases under 14.04 my usb wireless mouse would not be recognised after a reboot -- I'd have to unplug the transmitter then plug it in again. I'm still experiencing random system slow downs where my machine slows to a crawl. Trying to move the mouse across the screen would take 5 mins in little jumps and starts, with no mouse clicks being registered. Looking on the forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2224455) I see I am not alone and it has been suggested I try a mainline lowlatency kernel which as of today I will try. I am happy to try any suggestions to help resolve this because this is a good machine and it was frustrating having to give up on ubuntu 13.10 and stay with the older, more dependable versions.
