I am unable to commit bisect the kernel because I can't even get the system to boot with any of the older kernels.
The bug is still happening, which is to say that the system boots to the login prompt, then after a minute or so goes immediately to sleep (hibernate?). When I press the power button to wake the system, the keyboard and monitor are dead and the system never comes back awake. I have to hold down the power button to kill the system, and then reboot from scratch. Once the system comes back up (after doing fsck etc.) and I log in (because if I don't, I get to start the entire process all over again), I get error dialogs saying there was a problem with Ubuntu. Well, duh, I knew that. If you have any hints on how to get my system to come up with the older kernels, please offer them now. If you have a fix for this bug, please offer it now. Otherwise, I know not how to help isolate the problem. Aside from buying a different system, which is silly. This one (mostly) works. Aside from two really annoying Ubuntu bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326757 Title: [Dell Dimension E521] System goes to sleep at GDM window and never wakes up Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On my Dell Dimension E521, a desktop system, if I leave the system at the login prompt it will very quickly go to sleep. When I press the power button to wake it, the system seems to restart, but the screen and the keyboard never wake up. I have to poke it in the eye and reboot. This behavior effectively renders the machine unusable if I am away. If the power goes out and the system reboots, it will very quickly sleep and never wake up. Thus, I cannot use it remotely. And if I forget to immediately (IMMEDIATELY) log in, the system will go to sleep and I have to hard power off and reboot. Very annoying. This only happened once I upgraded to 14.04.
