I updated the BIOS to 2.59, actually. Throughout the whole process, I had my externam monitor disconnected from my laptop. In this situation, my laptop is able to suspend correctly. However, when I plug in my monitor via a VGA cable, I cannot suspend my laptop, and the same text reappears momentarily (please see my previously attached 'suspendError.jpg' file). I need to disconnect my monitor and shut off my laptop for suspend to work correctly. Hence, I believe the error is related with the nouveau and external display drivers. Please advise.
I have also provided the bios output: G5ET99WW (2.59 ) 05/15/2014 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326097 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad W530] Does not stay suspended To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1326097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
