I got that wrong yesterday, I think. IWhen the freeze patch is installed, it seems to do something akin to suspending, but I haven't figured out how to get it back (not power button or mouse movement). Instead you have to hold the power button long enough to kill it and then start over. Note that this computer bounces back in Windows 8.1 when you try "sleep". I understood that a kernel patch had fixed that, but I'm up to date with Windows updates and that's what I see.

Doing it manually also fails, and nothing appears in dmesg: #echo "mem" > /sys/power/state Error while writing to stdout write_loop: Invalid argument And, more interestingly: cat /sys/power/state freeze disk Using the not-so-good-and-apparently-unsupported: echo "freeze" > /sys/power/state does seem to successfully suspend, however I cannot resume from this (assumed to be a separate issue). I am using a modified utopic unicorn kernel compiled from git at kernel.ubuntu.com, with the following patch to enable mykeyboard to work: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg34918.html The official kernel behaves identically, as does vanilla 3.17 from the mainline folder of kernel-ppa. WORKAROUND: Use hibernate. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: jarrad 2491 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: jarrad 2491 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=178ac532-25db-4ef3-a587-f1fdd2649bf0 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-10-10 (57 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140923) MachineType: Microsoft Corporation Surface Pro 3 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.4-surface3 root=UUID=f6c17817-9127-4792-be23-a39a07e7f240 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-21.28-generic 3.16.4 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.16.4-surface3 N/A linux-backports-modules-3.16.4-surface3 N/A linux-firmware 1.135 Tags: utopic Uname: Linux 3.16.4-surface3 x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 10/16/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 3.11.0350 dmi.board.asset.tag: 0 dmi.board.name: Surface Pro 3 dmi.board.vendor: Microsoft Corporation dmi.board.version: 1 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 0 dmi.chassis.type: 9 dmi.chassis.vendor: Microsoft Corporation dmi.chassis.version: 1 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr3.11.0350:bd10/16/2014:svnMicrosoftCorporation:pnSurfacePro3:pvr1:rvnMicrosoftCorporation:rnSurfacePro3:rvr1:cvnMicrosoftCorporation:ct9:cvr1: dmi.product.name: Surface Pro 3 dmi.product.version: 1 dmi.sys.vendor: Microsoft Corporation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1380076/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
