Comment 15 for bug 288393

Hi Scott,

I installed Karmic Koala and the first issue that has appeared is an
Application problem that appears after every reboot: "Sorry, the program
"usplash" closed unexpectedly", I've subscribed to bug #401432. Is this an
issue that should concern me?

The suspend works better than it did... it is no longer hanging or giving
error messages and the battery will last overnight in suspend now which it
wouldn't do before. However, it is still not working quite as it should.
The main issue is:

With battery settings on "suspend when lid is shut", the system does not
always suspend when the lid is closed. Occasionally (with no particular
pattern) the system will remain running when the lid is shut. If the system
is then still running, when the battery gets critically low, the system is
supposed to suspend - it doesn't suspend. When power returns to the laptop,
it boots as if switched off rather than coming out of hibernate as it
should. The boot hangs on the Ubuntu logo screen and subsequent reboots fail
in the same way. The resolution is to boot in recovery mode, shutdown and
then boot again.

As I say, it's better. But the suspend is still not working properly with my
HP Mini.

If you need anything in the way of messages or need me to test any potential
fixes, let me know. I'm happy to help out.
