Hi madbiologist: Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait any longer w/ a system that didn't work for my purposes (I step away a lot from my machine and hate wasting energy, so want something I can suspend). Consequently, I cannot now test your suggested solution. Am not sure why Ubuntu wouldn't auto-install the latest version of fglrx, but am guessing you are suggesting I install it manually from something newer than what the repos have?
I installed Windows XP and am running Ubuntu in VirtualBox within Windows. Windows is able to suspend / hibernate without problems. This is the 2nd Ubuntu system I've had this problem with: Also recently had a new box from ZaReason that worked find for 3 days and then, after a kernel update, the system started hanging after suspend and hibernate. ZaReason tried hard to find the source of the problem and traced it to the kernel update but could find no solution. That box also had a Nvidia card. I sent it back to the manufacturer. At this point I have 3 computers, two of which are running Ubuntu in Virtualbox in Windows. My old ZaReason office desktop, which has no graphics card, does not get suspend / hibernate issues. Given my experiences with the last ZaReason computer, I suspect my next purchase will be for a Windows machine from HP on which I'll install Ubuntu in VirtualBox, perhaps on a separate partition so I can run it independently if Ubuntu ever shows signs of fixing its suspend / hibernate problems. Ironically, Ubuntu is converting me into a Windows user (used to be a Mac person). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713787 Title: System hangs shortly after any wake from suspend -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
