Hi Roosevelt

Thank. You for your hint. My F2 key works as expected if pbbuttonsd is
installed. However, after waking up from suspend, the whole system seems
stuck. There is no reaction to anything, i.e. it is not a display problem.

>From old posts I figured some previous updates (of which packages?) Have
led to ther same or simiulare failure. It would be great to get a starting
point to solve this issue.

Best

It had all been working fine until yesterday when the resume-from-suspend
stopped working. I have performed an upgrade to the current version of all
installed packages. I have been using lxde and xfce4 on the system.

When re-opening, it would wake up for a few seconds, then go back to
suspend without user interaction. Pressing a keyboard key would then wake
it up again, and it would function fine.

Thus, it is impossible to see what exactly fails. All the remains is to
turn off the power and to reboot.

all remains the same. No waking up from suspend anymore.

grateful for a list. Are there any customizations needed? I do not recall
that I had to adapt any file after the installation for suspend/resume to
work. Unfortunately, now, when trying to find the problem, I have added and
removed quite some packages and the whole thing seems to boil down do the
kernel rather than the ppbuttonsd etc. level.
