Bug Description

I don't turn off my laptop, instead I have hibernation set up on lid close and working. However, sometimes when I resume my laptop (by opening the lid, on my model of Toshiba this automatically powers the laptop on) it gets as far as the Gnome screensaver unlock dialogue box, and then will have a lot of disk activity before going off again. When I power it on a second time, it resumes again and all is well. I don't know whether there is another hibernation happening (i.e. the second resume is actually from a second hibernation snapshot) or whether the laptop is just going off for some reason (i.e. the second resume is actually from the first hibernation snapshot). This doesn't happen regularly, maybe 1 in 10 times, but there's never anything different about that 10th time that I can isolate.

I've seen another similar bug where someone seemed to suggest that when hibernated automatically due to critical battery levels, when they resumed with the power cord plugged in, the battery level was still critical even though it was charging so their laptop would then hibernate again. My case doesn't seem to be battery related as it does it even when the battery is still well above critical, and when I've manually hibernated.

I never saw this behaviour in Jaunty, which is the only previous version I've run on this particular laptop.

Obviously I'm willing to provide more information, but I don't know where to file this bug, whether it's a kernel thing, a userspace pm-* thing, etc. Nor did I know which package to file a bug against with apport-cli, but if someone points me to the right one then next time it happens I'll run apport-cli and attach the information to this bug.

affects: ubuntu → pm-utils (Ubuntu)

I've recently come across another bug which I *think* this may be a duplicate of, #425411

I don't know for certain yet because I don't tend to think about whether I have the laptop plugged in or not but this bug I reported does seem to happen under these type of occasions (such as when I leave the office and hibernate my laptop while AC powered and then resume it at home where I don't always plug it in, or when I go to a different office where I may not have an AC cord available, that sort of thing). I propose that this bug is marked as a duplicate of 425411, I've already submitted information to that bug report so I'm hopeful that when a solution is found that will solve my problem here.
