kernel-fixed-upstream should read kernel-semi-fixed-upstream as suspend fails every second attempt
Below is the observed behaviour and how it could be implemented using an 'object' that could be a flag set in a file on persistent media such as a hard disk 1a Whiskermenu Shutdown to switch PC off 1b Briefly press in power switch say for 2 secs to switch PC on 1c Object is set to 0 (capturing fact PC has just come out of completely powered down state) 1d Wait about 3 minutes 1e Observe PC works normally 2a Via whiskermenu select Suspend 2b If Object is set to 1 don't suspend (ignored) 2c Object is set to 1 (capturing fact suspend has been used once) 2d Green power LEDs (on power switch and on front of case) blink together every 3 seconds approximately. 2e No other LEDs are on 2f Observe PC behaves as if suspended 3a Briefly press in power switch say for 2 secs to resume from suspend 3b Alternative place to set Object to 1 3c Observe PC resumes normally 4a Via whiskermenu select Suspend 4b If Object is set to 1 don't suspend (actioned) 4c Observe PC hangs with power switch LED on and front power LED both green and constant 4d also yellow LED on mute speaker key is on 4e Brief presses on power button and Ctrl Alt Del etc have no affect 4f Only option left is press and hold Power button for about 6 secs to switch PC off On same HP laptop Compaq nx6325 but with Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) Kernel 3.13.0-44-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1416348 Suspend only works once, fails second time.
