First off, I wanted to confirm that this bug remains firmly in place in 9.04 (running on a Toshiba laptop), and definately poses a major usability inconvenience to all those affected by it. I also wanted to pass along my observations that this bug seems to be a symptom of a larger problem with the stability of acpid; after five or six successful suspends, my laptop's entire power-management system will go completely haywire. The screen will turn off after 1 minute (it's supposed to wait at least 10); the system will never enter suspend mode automatically (it's supposed to do that after 30 minutes of idleness; pulling the power on the machine will cause it to suspend - but closing the laptop's lid does nothing. Furthermore, if a media player happens to be running during a period when the screen decides to shut itself off, there's a VERY high probability that the Xserver will freeze up completely, necessitating a PrtScn-REISUB shutdown, if not a hard reset.
Most interesting still (and, perhaps, pertinent to this investigation) is the fact that I just discovered that restarting acpid manually seems to correct these problems - at least for another five-ish suspend cycles. -- Laptop suspends when power cord is pulled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
