Your best bet is probably reporting the bug upstream, with your new data on the problem someone might take interest in it, I'm not knowledgeable on the matter at all, but your workaround seems to suggest something amiss with the acpi support (most likely a hardware bug though) and I remember there being quite a stir about that around the time this problem started.
Just to be sure, do you have an asus n51 laptop, how do you trigger this "stand-by mode"? If I have understood correctly, your workaround involves loading the system, putting it in sleep mode and then starting it up again? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793437 Title: Unusable Slowness In 2.6.38-8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/793437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
