Thank you for the quick reply, Christopher. The report in comment #5 was against ustream 3.17-rc4, so I will add the tag kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.17-rc4. RC4 was the latest available upstream kernel at the time of rebooting the laptop, and it has not been rebooted since. With my current usage patter the bug seems to need some time to manifest itself and kernel development moves on in the meantime.
I had difficulties making sense of the instructions "the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder)". In the context of comment #6 I had the impression they related to the Wiki page and it took me a while to figure out that they relate to the downloads listings at <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D>. For future triage interactions, I would suggest referring directly to <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D>. 3.17-rc7 is now installed on the laptop, and it is, once again, left running (mostly sleeping) continuously. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.17-rc4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368908 Title: [Sony VAIO SVP13215CDB] suspend/resume failure Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: System worked well with Xubuntu 13.10. Installed Xubuntu 14.04LTS from scratch. Now the system is unstable. To reproduce: * boot up * close the laptop lid * reopen the lid * try to access files * repeat Usually, after closing the laptop's lid, the system will correctly go to sleep. Sometimes the system is OK after reopening the lid, but eventually and consistently, after a few cycles, reopening the lid turns the screen back on but every command fails. Disks and USB keys give buffer I/O errors, the system is unstable and I am left with no other option than to long-press the power button and lose work.
