Display frozen during sleep

[Michael MacEachern]

When the computer goes to sleep, it freezes to a black screen with a single text cursor frozen (not blinking.). If I try to go to TTY1, it goes there, but upon entering my user name, it freezes and doesn't do anything. This happened since I got a mysterious Ubuntu 14.10 update. (It didn't ask me if I wanted to update, it just popped up saying I needed to reboot my computer, and I couldn't find any records as to what update it actually was).

I have tried both Xubuntu (what I'm using now) and regular Ubuntu, both are doing the same thing.

Sleep mode used to work just fine since 13.10, now it's broken. This is a laptop and needs sleep mode to work, as I can't sit there waiting for the machine to boot every time.

Ok I found the mysterious update, it's systemd-shim. So this may not be an Xorg issue.
