Mike, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 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-rc4

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.

Hi Christopher,

I'm glad to try to test the kernel when I learn which one you want me to test.

I want to make you aware that the link in your response is no longer valid and gets redirected to:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

I'm not clear which kernel to try. Reading the above page I find the list of kernels is located here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D

But your instructions to use the 'very first line' but 'not the daily build' causes further misunderstanding. The first folder is titled using today's date. Which kernel is the correct one to test?

Any help understanding this would be appreciated. It's kinda painful having to hard-boot each time I close the laptop.
