Public bug reported:
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.
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".
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.
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).

suspend via Fn+F1 or lid-close behave differently
