[LENOVO ThinkPad T520 4239] suspend/resume failure

[Jono Bacon]

My T520 has stopped suspending and resuming. I close the lid and doesn't suspend. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed it stopped suspending when I installed XMir.

Jono Bacon, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.43). If you update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Jono,

I see you are running the 3.10.0-6.17 kernel. Saucy has been rebased to the 3.11 kernel. Can you apply the latest updates and see if this bug still exits? If it does, we will want to test some earlier kernels to identify if a kernel update introduced the regression. We can then perform a kernel bisect to identify the exact commit that may have introduced this.

Hello,

I had the same problem on a T500 machine.
A Lenovo BIOS update solved the problem for me.

I started to play around with the sleep settings while connect to power, battery, and closing the lid and as a workaround a logout before sending it to sleep also works without a BIOS update.

This is a double post.
