Well as it happens I’ve now discovered exactly what it was that has been causing my suspend problems since I bought my laptop. It was the wireless card. All this time I was thinking that it was a power management problem and that meant my system wouldn’t suspend. Well, since believing that it was having installed the new version of ubuntu that had solved the problem I had actually overlooked the fact that I had turned off my wireless card to save power and that everything has been dandy ever since. I only noticed a few days ago when I tried to suspend with the wireless still turned on that it behaved how it had before. So… for now at least it looks as though I need to just turn my wireless card off before suspending… it’s annoying when I forget though.
I’ve noticed that it’s been filed as Bug #279798 on launchpad.net … which is nice… Anyway… now I can work around the not suspending problem I may do a little more distro-hopping… course I need to be careful not to end up with the graphics crash problem I was having before… maybe I should just sit tight now I have a system that works.
