Hi I am having a really annoying problem in Xubuntu. When my ThinkPad 600 goes to sleep it wont wake. I then have to take the battery out before I can turn it back on. This is annoying. It has been happening ever since I reinstalled Xubuntu a week ago. I had it running on there before and it never had this problem. I dual boot XP and Xubuntu and tried the XP out today. I don't use it very often. And it works fine and so does the sleep, so it cannot be a hardware fault as such. I am using exactly the same hardware inc wireless card in both XP and Xubuntu. I even tried turning off the sleep options in Xubuntu so that it didn't go to sleep when the lid was closed etc, but that seems to make no difference. Can anyone help? Simon Royal

There are a few important things to know: what kind of 'sleep' is it? Suspend to disk (often called 'hibernate')? Or suspend to RAM (often called 'suspend' or 'sleep')? If you've tested only one, does the other work?
Can you descibe more fully what happens when I tries to resume? Does the disk spin back up? Does it have a power button that gives any indication such as flashing? Do any fans make any noise? And (sorry if this is a silly question) but can you hold the power button down to make it switch off?
Sometimes resume issues can be related to restarting the display.
Best, Richard
Richard Nothing happens when the lid is opened again. No hard drive spinning. No fan noise. No lights change. There are a row of lights under the screen for power/battery/charge/drive activity/caps lock. Only the power light is on. To turn it off I have to hold down the power button for a few seconds. Then to get it to come on again I have to take the battery out and then pop it back in. Like I say. It doesn't do it in XP only Xubuntu. It doesn't always do it. 9 out of 10 it will fail to wake, but the odd time it will wake and continue as normal. I had Xubuntu installed a few months ago and it worked fine then. Formatted, installed XP and then Xubuntu and now this problem. Simon Royal
