James Ferguson:

>"Description was updated to be totally inaccurate."

The original Description you inputted originally was precisely:
"The laptop appears to suspend/resume fine stand-alone, but if a DisplayPort monitor is connected, it does not."

Please take care when creating bug reports going forward, so folks don't become confused as to the exact bug reproduction scenario.

>" To suggest disconnecting the monitor as a workaround is somewhat unhelpful"

A WORKAROUND is not a suggestion but a fact, and helpful for those folks who want to suspend now while waiting for a fix to be developed.

Despite this, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-T-Series-laptops/ThinkPad-T450s/20BX?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Support:Drivers%20and%20Software|Drivers%20and%20Software&beta=false an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.27). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new report.

It is most helpful that after the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on how this improves the situation.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your help.
