Please test whether this happens when you suspend as described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume#Suspending from text mode

When I select the Indicator Applet, then Suspend, the screen goes black and power button stays on.

When I type pm-suspend in text mode, the screen goes black and the power button goes off. If I press the latch key, the power comes on, yet the screen remains black.

In either case, I a unable to re-use the laptop without a re-boot. Which means there are no messages to copy & paste.

I also have to right-click the Networking icon and check Enable Networking to restore access to the Internet.

Walk away from laptop long enough and it shuts down. Press power button fails to bring screen back, must re-boot. During re-boot, error message appears about ureadahead. Also, usplash. Enable networking must be manually reset.

This most likely a duplicate bug report since there are numerous, recent bug reports for a search on "suspend + laptop +Karmic".

I have noticed that sometimes if you switch to VT1 and back to VT7 the gdm login screen comes back. Can you try that? ie after you resume, switch to VT1 and back to VT7.

O.K. spent some time translating last cryptic instruction. Unsure if I can describe what happened; will try.

I selected Shutdown icon, then Hibernate (Suspend). The laptop seemed to think about that comand for quite a while and finally shutdown.

Pressing the latch key failed to start it again, which was normal for Karmic.

Pressing the power key did start the laptop again. Same blank screen.

I never did switch to VT1 (runlevel 1). When I pressed the Ctrl key as the first key in the sequence to switch, the password window appeared. Entering the password brought me back to a working system.

Switched to runlevel 3. Logged in. Switched to root. Ran "pm-suspend". Laptop promptly shuts down.

Now for the weirdness. Press the latch key, laptop starts. (Different than VT7, eh?)

The problem still is there. Blank screen. No amount of keys pressed could coax it.

Re-booted. Enable Networking must be manually checked.

I can confirm the same behaviour on a Dell Vostro 1500 with Nvidia 8400M GS running Lucid Alpha-3 (2.6.32-16-generic) with the nouveau driver.
Suspend works fine every time, resume fails every time - system seems to wake up, but screen remains blank and requires hard reset to bring the system back up.
I suspected the display driver, but the same problem exists with the Nvidia proprietary driver.
Tried both in text mode and when logged into X - same results.
A few updates ago, it would *occasionally* resume after a blind switch to a text tty and back to tty7, but now even that doesn't work.

Update: suspend/resume work just fine after updating to Lucid Beta 1, with Nvidia binary driver 195.36.15-0ubuntu1.

Hm, not sure I would say "just fine". Takes forever to hibernate and forever to come up with a blank page, that when I move the cursor, the screen shows password login. When I logged in, there was a crash report for network manager (n-dispatcher).

In the past I used the Suspend mode because it was quicker than shutdown and re-start. Not true with current fix.

This doesn't sound like a g-p-m issue. It's more likely a kernel or graphics driver issue

I'm also having the same problem: suspend is fine, resume gives black screen ( of death?:) ). I remember some time ago trying to setup plymouth on this laptop on an arch linux install. I remember that enabling KMS to have plymouth working left the laptop with the same problem. Maybe its related with it. Do i need to send apport-collect informations?

Suspend is not fine for me. If the laptop goes into suspend on its own rather than by my initiating it in a test, then same problem, it's dead, Jim, Re-boot.

I'm marking this now as duplicate of bug #559163. I know this bug was earlier, but the other D600 bug filed is against correct component (kernel) and has more "affects me" clicks on the top of it.
