This problem started occurring after upgrading to 9.10. I upgraded with "sudo update-manager -d" 5 days ago.

[arjun (ontont)]

I had the same error message in a dialog box just after starting the 9.10 live cd. I could not get any further details and report it here because I was not connected to the internet, as I had just started it. But I managed to get something out from the syslog,that looked like a bug, I am not sure if this helps.Here it goes:

I have the same problem, however it seems to just keep happening randomly after an hour or so. Not from sleep mode or anything, it just happens out of nowhere and networking stops working.

[Jason Kroll (jkroll-alumni)]

Very similar problem on Dell Ubuntu 1525 after upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, doesn't wake up, has to be restarted, issues same warning. Very stock setup, would expect this to be common problem.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Hi Siqdiz,

The warning reported here typically indicates that it took longer for your system to resume from suspend than expected. I believe there is a 5 sec barrier which your system likely exceeded. Based on your dmesg output I see PM: resume devices took 8.324 seconds. A patch to prevent this warning has been applied via bug 464552. As a result I'm marking this as a duplicate to bug 464552. Please continue to track this issue at that report. Thanks!

I have the same issue with an old IBM T30. I recieved the same notification. The apport did not work. Furthermore the GUI is acting abnormal, in that I start Firefox and my home page loads from google however it does not appear in it's entirety or not at all the orange background remains intact.

Thanks,

Dan
