Public bug reported:
I don't even know where to begin. I have an Asus UL30A laptop from 2010
or so which I recently upgraded to 12.10.
Beyond the known continual bug with screen brightness not working
properly, there is now a problem with suspend/resume that is so severe I
can't use it.
Suspend worked great on 11.10 and earlier. I don't know about 12.04. I
recently put in a brand new SSD and installed 12.10 with full disk
encryption, so nothing from the old installation remains.
Now, when I suspend it looks like it worked okay, but all of the
following bugs occur on resume. Not necessarily all at once, but all of
them happen at some kind or another.
1. Resumes, but the filesystem is read only. Checking mount, it is *not*
mounted read only. Prevents me from running any programs, including
"reboot", so the only solution is to physically power it down and
reboot.
2. Resumes, but does not accept my password. I am 100% certain I am
typing it correctly. When I go to a VTTY and type my username it never
even prompts me for a password, it just fails silently. Seems likely to
be related to (1).
3. Resumes, but mouse is non-functional. Fixable by going to a VTTY,
rmmod psmouse, and modprobe psmouse. I can deal with this, but most
users won't be able to.
4. Resumes, but continually reports errors and asks to report them. I
usually click "sure report them" or whatever, but it never brings up the
website to do so. I doubt that they have ever gotten sent. Most of these
relate to "failure to suspend/resume" from looking at the details.
I mean, this is just horrible. So bad that I end up just turning the
laptop screen off when I tote it around instead of suspending. It's
ridiculous, and I have no clue where to start since the bug reporting
appreport is crashing. What the heck should I be doing here? I know I
need to modify the kernel options in order to get screen brightness to
work right and that's a level of hacking that I'm comfortable with. But
this other stuff? What on earth is wrong with modprobe that mouse is
breaking? Is the filesystem remounting as fake read only because it's an
SSD that's not being handled right? How can I figure this out when no
programs work because of the bug?
Very, very disappointed in this latest ubuntu release. It's rendered a
perfectly functional laptop into a total disaster. I'm still going to
stick with Ubuntu because at this point I'm committed, but this is just
really really bad.
