I put a password in that last comment like a complete idiot. Well, I've changed it, and if you try to follow along you'll want to substitute 't1g3r' in the above grant command to whatever you want your root mysql password to be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

I would strongly encourage people struggling with these issues on 64 bit Ubuntu to go with 32 bit Ubuntu instead. It will automatically use the PAE kernel so that you can take advantage of all your ram, and everything will be rock solid (or much closer to it) -- hugely, vastly better. That was

Adding my data point to what orGSD added to the conversation, I have 12 GB of ram, so maybe there is some threshold, say over 8 (wild guess) where these issues manifest? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Following up, the gnome power settings workaround helped slightly, but I still got lots of crashes and unsuspend failures. I did end up going w/ 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04 + nVidia binary driver and things are working quite smoothly now, albeit with 1/2 the bits :-P Changing the brightness works great

Switched to 32 bit last night and things are indeed working much better for me. Suspend / unsuspend is working like a champ. Again, I've got a Thinkpad W520 (w/ nVidia binary driver), not a Dell. YMMV. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

Similar problem on Thinkpad W520. Didn't seem to happen w/ 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04 for me, but does w/ 64 bit. I am also using the nVidia binary driver (I'm currently using 270.41.19, the .deb from the ubuntu-x-swat ppa). Haven't tried kernel 2.6.39-0 yet. -- You received this bug notification

That has been my experience, but I've spent a lot more time with the 64 bit version so take that how you will. I may switch to 32 bit for a while while these issues get hashed out, if so I'll report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

I'm stuck with this issue too. I noticed through experimentation that this doesn't happen with 32 bit 11.04. Maybe that will be a clue for somebody? I was on the verge of moving to the 32 bit version when I discovered this launchpad bug and the workaround. Whew! -- You received this bug
