Suspend stopped working on Dell Latitude C610 in recent Hardy update

[Michael Losonsky]

Suspend used to work in Hardy Heron but after a recent update (
and I cannot remember which one), it stopped working. It will
suspend, but it will not resume. Need to force shutdown and
reboot. Same problem using suspend button, suspend on
close lid, or from log off menu. Hibernate works, and if I set
power manager to hibernate on close lid, this resumes without
a problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Intrepid Ibex. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Intrepid had problems with network cards -- I had to
a mess with one computer and didn't want to
risk it. So Ignored this. And in any case, why
should I try it in Intrepid when I want it to work
in LTS. Suspend still doesn;t work, but I just
don't use it. You just learn to live with the
bugs.

In general, I am ignoring bugs and bug reports because
I haven't found the process very satisfactory. There
are certain applications that are persistently buggy and
the basic treatment of them is denial and workarounds.
Examples are dial-up, sound recorder, and suspend/hibernate
