fails to enter suspend mode

[Horne]

Binary package hint: yelp

After installing the release candidate of Karmic Koala, my laptop fails to enter suspend mode: when I initiate the suspend process the screen darkens and appears to be ready to suspend, but then displays a log-in screen after a brief moment.

Perhaps this will help in diagnosing the problem. I know very little about linux and Ubuntu, so I apologize if this is improperly formatted or not useful. This is a section of my kern.log from the point at which I most recently tried to suspend my computer.

I'm using an HP Pavilion dv4 laptop. I've used previous versions of Ubuntu and have not had this problem, and I am still able to use the hibernate feature. I've updated my system every day that I've used Ubuntu, and I've tried reinstalling all packages related to ACPI with no effect.

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Karmic's or Lucid's packages?
Thanks in advance
Fabio

Hi,

Interestingly, this problem seemed to 'go away' a few weeks ago with an update, but returned again last week. Since I update regularly but don't always test whether or not the suspend and hibernate functions still work, I don't know specifically which update relieved the problem and which caused the relapse. Right now, my laptop neither sleeps nor hibernates.

So, if I understand your question properly, yes: the problem is present with the latest Lucid packages. Please do let me know if I can provide any information that would be of help.

Thanks,
-Brian
