Comment 28 for bug 1180157

downloaded 'trusty' ;-)

yes, once the lid is closed then opened the screen is blank, and
actually it appears the system is hung, but it is hard to know for sure.

Also it boots without a mouse between 1/2 and 2/3 of the time, so it
requires multiple boot attempts to get the mouse to appear.

The run from usb stick does not keep information between bootups.
Hence, the WIFI settings must be re-entered on every boot, and then
apport must be installed again. It stands to reason that the apport
report will not have any useful data, because a reboot is required after
it crashes when the lid is closed, so as to get a terminal to run apport
from.

The three of those demons all play together! I've been at this for a
good couple of hours just to get the lid shut, opened, and to send a
report. I might humbly suggest, that for the 'run from usb' not to
store any data is a bit over the top in terms of making debugging
difficult, you all might should change that.

I'm not able to do an install to disk because the Fedora disk
partitioner has made a pretty mess on the prior install. They have gone
'minalmist' and virtual, but it gave all sorts of errors and left holes
on the disk. (Yes I filed a bug on that, and yes of course there was no
data in the apport report because the disk had to be repartitioned
between runs ...) I'm afraid to touch that house of cards, gosh if I
break the system while traveling I will be in quite a fix!

Good luck with the debugging!

Thomas

BTW Fedora 19 has both of these problems on Acer 7250 also.
