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. ** Description changed: Hardware: Dell Latitude D630, with X3100 graphics and iwl3945 Wifi.
