Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kde-guidance-powermanager
This issues is related to a Kubuntu laptop (Dell B130). The laptop was
originally installed with Dapper Drake, then upgraded to Edgy, and
finally Feisty. The below problems are fairly recent, starting maybe a
month after the upgrade to Feisty.
1. About 90% of the time after I suspend, when I awake the machine it
goes back into suspend mode after about 3 seconds. Simply pressing the
power button finally brings the machine up. Harmless but annoying.
2. About 10% of the time when #1 happens, video memory is corrupted
slightly. I get a bizarre white patch in the upper-left corner of the
splash screen, and a few of my System Tray icons are scrambled.
3. About 5% of the time when #1 happens, the machine just sleeps
itself repeatedly. Usually after 5 or 6 tries it will finally wake up,
but once after more than 10 tries i just hard-restarted.
4. About 50% of the time after #2 happens, I'm left at a full-screen
console with "Starting up ALSA" at the top and no prompt. I can type
things in but there's no responce. Restarting is the only choice.
5. Twice the laptop has been closed and running normally (as per
settings), then gone into sleep mode when *opening* the lid.
WORKAROUND:
Uninstall kde-guidance-powermanager (requires uninstalling kubuntu-desktop, i
also uninstalled hal as it didn't seem to be used by anything). The sleep
button now only causes a single sleep action, but takes about 10 seconds as
opposed to around 3 previously. I believe acpi-support is causing this
functionality. I guess guidance caused the first sleep at 3 seconds then
acpi-support caused the second at 10 secs resulting in double sleep?
I'm very new to bug reporting, so please give me any diagnostic
commands that you need.
