Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-package

I have an ASUS Eee PC 1015PE with Ubuntu 10.10.  If I try to suspend or
shutdown, it freezes.  The screen locks up, the mouse cursor does not
move, and I am forced to hold the power button for 3 seconds to get it
to do a hard reboot.

This happens even if I choose "Suspend" from the GDM login menu.  So
this is not a Compiz (or probably even X) issue.  I also get it if I
shut the laptop lid (which would trigger a suspend).  At least one other
user reported this problem in the forums:

Before I bought this computer I read articles saying that everything in
Ubuntu 10.10 worked well.  For example:

http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2010-08/27-asus_eeepc_1015pe

So perhaps a recent kernel update broke suspend on this laptop.
Everything else works great using the stock kernel, incl. Compiz,
touchpad multitouch, and wireless.  I did not apply any of the special
packages mentioned in the article above.

I updated my BIOS to the latest available from ASUS, version 0801.
(Also, my model has no Bluetooth, but some of the articles I read
implied that the 1015PE does have Bluetooth.  Not sure if that matters.)

I consider this a critical bug because I cannot use this netbook in the
real world.  Everytime I shut the lid to move it, I might lose data!  I
already have a workstation that is anchored to my desk.  I bought this
thing to be mobile.
