Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I can't get my laptop (Dell Inspiron 640m) to unblank after a lid close unless I apply this dirty fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8448660&postcount=25

99% of the time, closing my lid will force a reboot to restore my display. Even with the aforementioned fix, I still have to reboot at least 70% of the time.

I can confirm here, though can you run `apport-collect 496842` to attach the appropriate information to this report? Thanks.

I'm not yet convinced this is a kernel related issue. However, for good measure can you run:

apport-collect -p linux 496842

This will gather and attach the kernel related debugging bits. Thanks.

It surfaced towards the very end of the Karmic dev cycle and I didn't see fit to file a bug because of my shameless use of xorg-edgers.

It seems that this bug is don't affect my laptop (dell 640m) any more.
Running Ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 my Laptop blanks and unblanks correctly when I close and open the Lid.

Eric Appleman, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
