[SOLVED] Mint Rebecca fails to resume after suspend-to-ram

Post by kokosnakokos »

Hi I'm googling this problem for months with no result. Sometimes (1 in 10 cases) instead of resuming after suspend-to-ram I get login screen (which is weird because normally I have autologin) and after I fill my credentials I have all my windows closed. It looks like my mint reboots. I have no idea what could be the problem. Notebook is Lenovo R61 with nvidia graphics and drivers. Do you know what could cause the problem? It's driving me mad.

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- launch a terminal window and make it fullscreen, to avoid chopped lines;
- copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

Might have something to do with the driver for your graphics card. Your not-so-modern graphics card is running on the nvidia-331, which is one of the latest Nvidia drivers. Try a switch to the older nvidia-304, which appears to support your card as well:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nvidia-304
After installation, reboot your PC.

Reason: newer is not always better. Older cards sometimes run better on older drivers, even when new drivers claim to support such an older card as well.

I am experiencing the same problem. The last three types I put my laptop in suspended mode, it essentially restarted and closed all my open applications. The only thing different from a regular restart was that the it booted directly to linux mint without giving me the option to boot to Windows.

Here are my specs:

It seems to me that changing of graphic drivers worked. It's been now 11 days and I didn't have restart. I hope that it will last
