Raphael Mankin, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops- and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (3.23). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-3.23 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471560 Title: Laptop does not wake properly from suspend/sleep Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am running xfce4/lightdm/lihg-locker on ubuntu 14.04.2 The bug does not always manifest itself, but does so frequently. When waking from sleep/suspend I get the unlock screen but after entering my password the main display does not appear; it remains blanked. Sometimes re-suspending and re-waking the machine resolves the problem, but not always. Alternatively, the main screen does appear ut the mouse pointer is missing. I can tell where it ought to be by the highlighting of menu items. In this case re-sleep/re-waken has always resolved the problem. Sometimes I can get to a console seesion with ctl-alt-f1. In this case killing xfce4-session clears the problem, but after doing this a few times skype will not restart.
