Updating my BIOS didn't solve the issue. This issue wasn't present in earlier versions of Ubuntu.
When I click on suspend, the password screen appears (not lightdm, but the lockscreen) and then my computer hangs and I have to reboot. When I close the lid of the laptop, the screen turns off, but the computer doesn't. henri@henri-Vostro-3500:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date A10 10/25/2010 henri@henri-Vostro-3500:~$ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296067 Title: [Dell Vostro 3500] suspend/resume failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1296067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
