Public bug reported: After booting up, I can either shut the lid of my laptop or click System -> Quit -> Suspend and my computer will go to sleep. This causes the screen to blank, the fan (and maybe other things) to shut off and the power LED to breath orange (normally it's blue). I get many hours of battery life this way.
Once I life the lid or press the power button the computer will resume operating normally and ask my to unlock my screen. If I then try to either close my lid or click Quick -> Suspend, the screen will blank but the computer appears to run normally. The blue LED stays lit as normal, the fan continues to run. The battery life is not significantly increased and the computer stays warm to the touch. I'm not even sure if the backlight on the screen turns off, or if the screen simply goes black. If I wiggle the mouse (or touch the touch pad) my computer screen will come to life and ask me for my password. I can repeat these steps again and again and the result, after the first (successful) suspend, is always the same - the computer does not actually sleep. Shutting down and starting the computer back up allows it to sleep again, once more. I am running a Toshiba Satelite A105 laptop with an uptodate edgy. I've tested to see if the result is affected by running network applications (its not) or additional hardware such as an external mouse or webcam (it's not). I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, tell me what you need and I'll give any additional information that will be helpful. I'm including lspci and lshal -m. This problem is easily repeatable so am happy and able to get more details at a moment's notice. lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) 07:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments Unknown device 8039 07:06.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments Unknown device 803a 07:06.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments Unknown device 803b 07:06.3 Class 0805: Texas Instruments Unknown device 803c lshal -m Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- net_00_a0_d1_3b_de_06 removed net_00_13_02_3e_48_d1 removed net_00_a0_d1_3b_de_06 added net_00_13_02_3e_48_d1 added ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Laptop only suspends once between reboots https://launchpad.net/bugs/72239 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
