EeePC 1000 screen black waking up from sleep

[Velo Traveler]

See the bug description at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1283938

When netbook running Xubuntu X-Windows session is woken up from sleep (for example, after closing and re-opening lid while running Xubuntu), I am prompted for my password, then the screen goes black. I can control-alt-F1 and get a text console, machine is still up and running, I can switch back to X session, get black screen, but use control-alt-T to open a new terminal window, and run the reboot command successfully. As per one of the comments on above-referenced bug description, I was able to recover screen by restarting lightdm, but then wifi was no longer working.

Problem still happening after BIOS upgrade. Requested info below:

$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

[Velo Traveler (5-ubuntuone-j)]

Still happening with latest BIOS.

Is there any command-line workaround besides restarting lightdm?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Velo Traveler, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.19-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

have not been able to try out the upstream kernel yet.

Just upgraded with apt-get to 3.13.0-46-generic #79-Ubuntu SMP Tue mar 10 20:08:14 UTC 2015 i686, problem still exists.

Seeing exactly this same issue on a fresh installation of Xubuntu 14.10 on my Thinkpad X200.

[Kevin Lipe (kevin-lipe)]

sorry, forgot to include uname -a on my machine:
Linux frenesi 3.16.0-31-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 10 17:37:36 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Kevin Lipe, it would help immensely if you filed a new report via a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

Please feel free to subscribe me to it.
