Public bug reported: under linux 2.6.32-21 and 2.6.32-22, my dell latitude e6500 will properly sleep when the power cable was removed and the lid closed.
under linux 2.6.32-24, it never works. it seems to go through most of the steps involved in sleeping, but the display never turns off. once this happens, the computer is completely unresponsive to keypresses or opening and closing the lid -- i have to give it a hard shutdown. executing "/etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep" from the command line (instead of closing the lid) does the same thing. this happens EVERY TIME. i'm running with nonfree kernel modules nvidia and wl. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 if they are vitally necessary, i can attach the /proc/version_signature and dmesg from 2.6.32-24, but i'd rather not boot into it (i'm using -22 right now) since the inability to put the computer to sleep kills my productivity. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- won't sleep: dell latitude e6500 under linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic (works under 2.6.32-22-generic) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625292 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
