Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) Kernel 3.13.0-44-generic
HP laptop Compaq nx6325
A working suspend via Applications Menu/Log Out results in power switch green LED blinking on/off every few seconds.
The laptop will do this the first time after a reboot but then every second attempt to suspend results in power switch green LED staying on.
Screen goes black and have not found any key sequences that respond.
The only option is to hold the power switch down for several seconds to do a hard reset.
On restart it says...
System program problem detected
Report problem
Clicked above several times, nothing happens, eventually pop up(s) go away.
After this a dmesg doesn't seem to give clues - it does not even contain the word suspend for instance.
Following the reboot the laptop will now suspend correctly once, wake up ok but then fail to suspend when asked the second time. What clues to search for to suspend everytime?
