Jaunty Alpha 4 mouse freeze on resume after suspend

[Walter_Wittel]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Asus Eee 901 and Jaunty Alpha 4 Live session boot from USB thumb drive.

After resume from suspend mouse is frozen (keyboard still works, can alt-tab between applications, etc.).

This is a deployment blocker for me. Same happens on my Asus Eee 900. This is a regression from 8.10 where both systems resume correctly from Suspend.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to file a bug report.

Could you let me know if the mouse starts working again after a reboot?

Oh, also noticed "deployment blocker". You really shouldn't be considering any serious deployment of Jaunty yet - it's currently in alpha, with over two months to go before release. Bugs of this nature are expected at this time.

Yes, after a reboot the mouse works just fine. I did a couple of reboots - suspend - resume on both my 900 and 901 and dead mouse on resume but working mouse on reboot seems 100% repro.

Sorry if I hit a nerve with my "deployment-blocker" comment. I realize Jaunty is Alpha, but I would be more than happy to take my chances and run the Alpha for my day-to-day usage in the hopes of helping to discover additional bugs while there is still some time to triage / fix them before release. I run Windows at work but Ubuntu for most of my personal computing. I have jumped on board early for the last few Ubuntu releases and in the past run alpha and beta versions of a major competitors software. Maybe I've just gotten too soft / picky with 8.10 working so well for me :-).

Unfortunately I use suspend much too frequently to upgrade until this gets fixed (or at least confirmed and scheduled for a fix) so will have to wait for a later build before upgrading. And yes, while expected now if it doesn't get fixed before release it *would* prevent me from upgrading from 8.10.

BTW, thanks for everyone's hard work on Ubuntu!

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the resulting log file of: gnome-power-bugreport.sh &> gpm.log to the report? You might also want to take a look to the Debugging instructions located at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager for submit any other logs related to your problem. Thanks in advance.

Attached is the requested log. I also tried this scenario on a Sony VGN-CR120E and it has the same symptoms. I also discovered that only the touchpad stops working. An IntelliMouse Explorer USB works fine after resume. I'll try and take a look at the link tomorrow. Thanks.

The track pad mouse is now working again after suspend / resume in Jaunty Alpha 5. Thanks for fixing the regression!
