I also have loads of boot issues on my W520. I am using Oneiric though
because breaking my working environment in gnome is not an option and
not what I get paid for on my day job ;-)

* halt from the command line halts but does not power off
* The W520 has multiple video modes but only one of them
  powers up the VGA connector. When using that, boot is
  a russian roulette. It is not unusual for the kernel to
  lock up twice before I finally get a boot. A couple
  times I had to pull the battery to get the BIOS and
  linus kernel to start playing nice again.
* I have on occasion seen the sleep problem. It happens
  in particular if I walk away from the machine and it
  is on a vt rather than gnome; but it has on occasion
  happened in gnome as well.

I have gotten into the habit of always shutting down when I
travel from the dual screens at home to the dual screens at
work because linux gets tied up in its knickers if I do,
if it wakes up at all.

Things do work better if I am on the factory BIOS graphics setting,
which I use when travelling, but as I said, in that mode the VGA
port is turned off.

Since I have no intention of upgrading from Oneiric at this
time, I have not reported these issues. I have just gritted
my teeth, sworn the occasional general curse and got on with
work.

Does it recover if you disconnect the second display?  I have had
problems if I connect a second screen before powering the screen up,
though not as major as your issues.  It is always ok if I power up the
screen before connecting it to the laptop.  This is not on a Thinkpad.

Re: Sleep mode on Thinkpad x201

[Alexandre Strube]

Actually, I noticed that this happen when the big display connected to the
displayport output of the docking station is turned on. The notebook wakes
up fine, but then the secondary screen is turned on, and Ubuntu wants to
send the image to it and dies. No keyboard, no nothing. But there is still
disk activity, god knows why. Still, I don't know to which component I
should open a bug against.

Hello list,

 From 12.10 to 13.04 updated daily, one bug appears and disappears again
every couple of updates. The bug is related to the Lenovo X201 entering
sleep mode.

It's a kind of russian roulette. I never know if the machine will wake
up again. Most of the time it just stays there. Black screen, no answer
to capslock or usb, nothing. Just the disk showing activity every now
and then. Apart from that, the machine is as dead as it can be.

Sometimes, it works for weeks. Sometimes, at the first time it enters
sleep mode, things go bad.

I don't even know what to look for and to which component I should open
this bug against. Can anyone point me to somewhere?


I had the same issue and thought it had cleared up, but apparently not 
as I'm seeing exactly the same behaviour.  Here's a quantal bug I filed 
a while back that has been since marked fix-released:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1074589

As it's a suspend/resume issue, file a kernel bug:

# ubuntu-bug linux

I saw the issue in Quantal, it was fixed somehow in an SRU and now 
appears to be in Quantal again. I've also got Raring installed on the 
machine but have not played with it enough to see if this behaviour 
reproduces in Raring or not for me.
