Title:
Resuming from suspend sometimes causes instant suspend upon hitting
lock screen dialog
Status in “pm-utils” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pm-utils
Upon resuming and hitting the lock screen dialog, the computer will
*sometimes* suspend. I can see the dialog for maybe a second (it
flashes on the screen.) If I am fast enough, I can type in three
characters of my password before it suspends. Upon resuming from the
immediate suspend I can log in fine. This seems to be much more
prevalent if I have left my laptop suspended for longer, and occurs
about one in five times, so it seems to me to be some kind of timing
issue.
Conjecture/Ramble: Perhaps, upon resume, the laptop still thinks the
lid is closed and decides to suspend. This might explain why it
happens more often if the laptop has been in suspend for longer,
because more background tasks are catching up (often, upon resume,
there is a lot of HDD activity for about 10 seconds), and
preventing/delaying a poll of the lid switch. In which case there
should be a patch which prevents the system suspending within ~10
seconds of the last resume, or prioritises the lid switch polling.
Otherwise, apart from this minor niggle, suspend/resume works very
well and is quite fast.
