Just as a possibility, I'd check if you have any pm-suspend scripts which remove drivers for sleep. It there are scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d, they are not currently being called. Have a look at what they do, and if they remove modules, try manually removing the modules before suspending, and see i

Further information, it turns out that pm-suspend is no longer used, and systemd-sleep is the new system. The scripts section of pm-suspend is still there, but it is broken as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/1455097 (why does everything I look into seem to be broken).

Ok, I have narrowed the issue down to the broadcom proprietary "wl" driver. If I rmmod before suspend, then the system resumes correctly. I can then modprobe it and continue to work normally. The only problem is that creating /etc/pm/config.d/modules with the content SUSPEND_MODULES="wl" has no

Although the mainline kernel seemed to fix the problem, no release since 3.19.0-26 has functioned correctly. I have tried every kernel update, and am now on ubuntu 15.10, but must still run the old 3.19.0-26 kernel to get suspend resume to work. Removing the fixed-upstream tag. ** Tags removed:
