Description of problem: Suspending the laptop by closing the lid works just fine. Un-suspending by opening the lid (usually, not 100%) un-suspends, and then immediately suspends again. Symptoms are the same as this older bug from Fedora 16: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=809248 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 18 kernel: 3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64 Thinkpad T520 with BIOS version 8AET60WW (1.40 ) (fairly recent as of this writing) I was using Fedora 17 previously, and did not experience the double-suspend.
Created attachment 688964 [details] /var/log/messages during a double suspend/resume cycle Fedora 18 running vanilla 3.7.5 on Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Same thing happens with fedora kernels. This is /var/log/messages between such a cycle. I closed the lid, it suspended, I opened up the lid, it woke up a bit (saw console again, no X) and then immediately suspended again, I then pressed the power button to wake it up again, it woke up and everything works fine.
Created attachment 689939 [details] /var/log/messages during a suspend/resume cycle FAILED CASE When in X I closed the lid and reopened only to witness the system suspend again. Lid closed and reopened and then it gets back up.
Created attachment 689940 [details] /var/log/messages during a suspend/resume cycle OK CASE And about one in five or so it works as expected.
Created attachment 689941 [details] /var/log/messages during a suspend/resume cycle OK CASE when in tty2 And when in some other tty it works every time.
Created attachment 689942 [details] /var/log/messages during a suspend/resume cycle OK CASE suspended from kde menu And if I do the same thing from the KDE menu it also works every time.
Bug 859227 deals with this. Upgrading kde-workspace to a newer version (currently in testing) seems to fix this (with some minor side effects).
