Loki suspend doesn't work

[hous3m4ster]

When closing pc or pressing suspend in Freya makes computer crash. When computer awakend, you only get a black screen that at the same time flickers on and of.

Os: Freya(Isis)
Date: 12-5-2014 (5 december 2014)
Computer: HP EliteBook8440p USB Boot

Update:
Multiple other computers with multiple architectures and different cpu's / gpu's are affected by this bug too.

Also, this is the bug with the highest bug heat and the importance is still undecided... 😒

Update 2:
after installing freya to disk the bug disappeared but I still have weird flickers after logging back into my laptop.

[Bogdan Lisnenko (lem8r)]

Same here. HP ProBook 4530s

[en23 (en3ster)]

Same here.
Samsung Series 7 Ultra.

[Eric Ryder (w-eric-f)]

Same here for Acer C720P. Suspend works once, maybe. The second time you get a black screen and the drive light is still on. shutdown also doesn't always work; you need to press the Power key for (?) 30 seconds, or so. Not being able to Suspend and wake-up is a REAL pain in the ass. Also, going into Settings now takes 25 seconds (!!!). This is after downloading the new "stable" release.

[Ganesh JCS (ganesh-jcs)]

Same here.
HP Envy Touchsmart

[Ganesh JCS (ganesh-jcs)]

"Lock" also causes the same problem.

[John Kinsey (johnkins)]

Same problems as Ganesh

Suspend or lock

Dell Inspiron 1720

Same here but instead of black screen my screen is displayed correctly but completely frozen.

Toshiba Satellite nb10t

[Cody (stillcms)]

Mine freezes and then shortly after goes black and then back to log in. Sometimes when it logs in my wifi won't connect

This problem doesn't happen all the times, everytime it happens and I must restart the computer.

It is really annoying when you are in the middle of a working session and you need to restart and then open all the applications again. So I need to make sure I save everything before suspending the computer.

@hungtran

Have you tried entering your password while facing the black screen?

This does unlock the session for me and brings back my screen.

[Cactus Jack (steved2323)]

I am having the same issue... I'm running a Dell Optiplex 7020 with dual displays, when the machine is locked and I come back to my workstation, everything is flashing and frozen. The only way to fix it, is to hold the power button. Any fix for this?

[Jayson Hache (inverged)]

Hey guys,somewhere I saw that using the older Kernel can fix this issue.I am using AMD Radeon proprietary drivers (not with updates)on an HP Envy Touchsmart,and I have reverted back to Kernel 3.16.0-34 from 46(i think),and sleep is now working for me.I'm not sure why this works but I'm not complaining.Hope this helps someone else.

[Pop Vlad-Aurel (popvladaurel-deactivatedaccount)]

My Asus K53SD is affected aswell, but only if I install elementary OS in UEFI mode. If I enable Legacy BIOS and then install elementary OS, sleep/suspend works fine, instead I lost restart, no matter the kernel - currently on 4.2.0-999-generc. The interesting fact is that restart works in UEFI mode, but suspend dows not.

[Nelson (nelsonb22)]

Same issue here. Samsung laptop R580 with NVIDIA 340.96 drivers -- After figuring out how to fix the Fn control keys for brightness, I have it setup so that after 15 minutes of inactivity the screen goes dark and it asks for password when moving the mouse or pressing a key.

After logging back in, RANDOMLY it flickers/flashes the screen, goes black again on and off, then it goes back to asking for password again, after entering password again it might work fine after a few flickers, or it just gets frozen that there's no other option but a hard shut down.

Last night I discovered that while listening to Pandora online and of course after the 15 minutes of inactivity, the screen goes dark (as intended) but the music completely stops.
Thanks.

[John Kinsey (johnkins)]

I'm using the older Elementary Luna as suspend works fine on that, I'll
go back to Freya again when suspend works

While improvement is possible, suspend is fundamentally broken by design. In my view, it's not even worth attempting to fix because the correctness of the fix would defy verification. See details below:

[Ryan Merchant (ryanmerchanta)]

Same here. Is there anyway to lock the screen without the issue occuring?

[Acchan (acchan)]

Lock screen seems to be causing the problem. Suspend works if "Lock on sleep" and "Lock after screen turns off" is disabled.

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

Hello,

Can you please confirm this issue is present in Loki?

[Duarte Mendonca (duarte-mendonca)]

Hello

I am no longer using Elementary OS, but I will test it with a USB boot
drive with Loki.

What Elite-Book version is this?

Have you tried with a newer kernel version? You're saying you're not using elementary anymore, what are you using that fixed your issue?

Is there any Linux distribution which works at all?

[Martin Mochetti (martin-mochetti)]

Yes. Switched from Elementary OS to Linux Mint and it works fine there (same computer, fresh install).

[Duarte Mendonca (duarte-mendonca)]

Ubuntu mate and budgie remix both worked for me

I'm tempted to assign this to Gala as it seems to be the only component which was not excluded.
