Public bug reported: Suspend fails to wake up on this laptop. Command pm-suspend causes this as does the gnome power manager in response to acpi events such as lid close. Suspend works, screen goes off, disks and fans spin down, power led throbs, pm-suspend.log lists either “success” or “not applicable” for each subsystem then reports that it is preforming suspend. On resume, the display back light lights up to a black screen, flashing cursor in the upper left corner and nothing. Disk activity light does not flash. No key actions (ctl-alt-bksp, ctl-alt-fX, ctl-alt-del) do anything, must power cycle by either removing ac adapter and battery or holding power button down for 6 to 10 seconds.
Note that the older script /etc/acpi/sleep.sh works almost flawlessly, only requiring the network to be manually reconnected. This fails this way every time I try to suspend this laptop using the pm-suspend script, but the acpi sleep script works everytime. I updated the bios to the most recent version (a14) available on the Dell support web site from a08. This fixed the blank screen with non flashing cursor issue with the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script, and the resume from the pm-suspend script went from blank screen with non flashing cursor to a blank screen with a flashing cursor. The pm-hibernate script shuts off the computer with no problem. On resume, X comes back up, the network is connected, but the virtual terminals are a gibberish of corrupted video. The /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh script also saves and shuts down the computer, on wake up freezes the computer with lines of video corruption when X should be restarted. ProblemType: KernelOops Annotation: This occured during a previous suspend and prevented it from resuming properly.
