I downloaded Kubuntu Feisty Herd5, and tested using the Live CD. I can say it is promising.
Issuing the following commands on my Toshiba laptop: # sudo bash # /etc/acpi/sleep.sh Causes the blue power LED to become flashing amber (meaning it did go to suspend). Pressing it makes it go back normally to a functioning desktop. No more hourglass/respawn problem. On a whim, I tried with the Kubuntu Edgy CD as a live CD. Doing the same steps above causes the screen to blank, but the LED stays blue (i.e. power on), and nothing happens. This means I cannot reproduce the problem with Edgy as a live CD, but there sure is hope with Feisty. I will wait till Feisty is officially released before I plunge into an upgrade. -- i810 Xv crashes after suspend -> infinite resprawn https://launchpad.net/bugs/28326 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
