I updated the description: the previous description conflated lots of
different issues.
(also, better late than never I guess: thanks Andres!)
** Description changed:
- I just installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 with the amd64 alternate installer on a
- Dell Latitude D630. It's an all-Intel version, ie X3100 graphics and
- iwl3945 Wifi. All the latest updates have been installed.
+ Hardware: Dell Latitude D630, with X3100 graphics and iwl3945 Wifi.
- Funny behaviour: when I close the lid, it smoothly goes into suspend,
- and on opening the lid comes back again (great!). However, when instead
- I hit Fn+F1, it takes much longer to go into suspend, then actually
- seems to power down the hardware: no more blinking suspend light. So it
- seems to call different scripts for these two cases! I checked in System
- - Preferences - Power Management, and both for laptop lid is closed
- and suspend button is pressed the setting is suspend.
+ Odd behaviour: when pressing the suspend button (Fn+F1), the system
+ hibernates, despite it being configured to suspend. On lid-close, it
+ does however properly suspend as expected. I checked in System -
+ Preferences - Power Management, and both for laptop lid is closed and
+ suspend button is pressed the setting is suspend.
- Further info: when I try to restart the machine after the Fn+F1 way of
- suspending, it cold-boots and shows grub, then refuses to mount the swap
- partition - saying that this contains a valid suspend image. But it
- doesn't use that image, and instead continues booting, only without the
- swap space. I can then reenable the swap later using swapon - this
- reinitialises the swap space.
+ Expected behaviour: the system ought to suspend instead of hibernate, as
+ specified in Preferences.
- It's not important to me as I can get all the functionality I need
- through lid-close, but I'd be happy and curious to investigate if you
- can tell me where to look. Thanks.
-
- (There's also a second but probably unrelated issue - sometimes keyboard
- and touchpad are not detected after resuming from lid-close. This can be
- remedied by closing the lid again, sending the machine back into
- suspend, then opening it once more. Not easy to replicate though and as
- I said probably unrelated).
+ The same behaviour previously with Ubuntu 8.04, and now on 9.10.

suspend via Fn+F1 or lid-close behave differently
