I do not believe that I have any USB devices that would cause a problem (keyboard and mouse) save an iPod cable with an iPod attched. But I still do not think that that is causing the problem as it has happened with just a keyboard and mouse attatched. I am not sure if a process is an active program, but if so, yes. I have OS X and ubuntu installe; this has happened during an update to ubuntu.

Humm...

This article about enabling Mac hibernation on older Macs says that Linux uses the same type thing called "software suspend". If Ubuntu was using "software suspend" perhaps this could screw-up Mac sleep? (Just a guess). I don't know if you can enable hibernation on a MDD? It might be an option?

I've had nothing but problems with sleep, and try to avoid sleep as much as possible. I haven't had any problems with hibernate, but I understand that if hibernate "goes wrong" it can be worse than sleep problems. It's cool that hibernate is basically a complete shutdown that restarts your Mac fast at exactly the same state you left it.
