After upgrading my notebook to 7.0 I have a problem. In fact I had it before too occasionally, but now it's permanent, alas.
I've installed the APM kernel. When I close the notebook, it goes into suspend mode. When I open it again, the computer comes alive again. Everything fine so far. But if the computer stays closed for several hours, it will not start new processes when woke up. I can switch between the processes, swith to and from screen 7 (X), but no new processes. A 'ls' just hangs, if I try to login, it never asks for password and so on. The only way to proceed is to hit the power switch, giving a hard log off :-(
Has anybody experienced this before?
More about this - A suggestion (sorry, don't have your name here)was to look into the difference between suspend and standby. So i tried to look at the apm utility. apm -s turns off power nicely, and restores it when something happens. -s means suspend. apm -S gives the behaviour described above. -S means standby. So it seems my notebook hangs on standby. But why does it enter standby mode? It seems that when I close the lid, it suspends, but later it must go into standby -- why??? Looking at kernel configuration, there are a number of options to configure APM. But none of these are obvious choices for this problem. Help, someone!
