You provide no procedure for performing that download in any obvious way. For example how am I supposed to obtain the proper names for a wget command or to download them by ftp to a specific directory. In Firefox double clicking on each entry downloads it into the Downloads directory, not into the recommended separate directory. This is part of what I mean when I say your documentation is vague. I installed, and booted. The system now boots on kernel 3.18-rc6. There is no observable change in behavior from kernel 3.16. The system displays disk activity consistent with normal resume processing, but the back-light on my display is not turned on, so I have no choice but to manually reboot even though the system is completely operational in all other respects. For example I can ssh, ftp, even http to the system.
Kernel 3.16 seems to have resolved all of the actual suspend/resume problems I had on previous releases. But at least most of the time the earlier kernels and drivers would turn on the back-light when they felt like resuming at all. I would stop bothering the kernel group and the X.org team if someone would just give me a manual command to turn on the damn light! I can ssh into the system to issue the command. -- Jim Cobban webmas...@jamescobban.net <mailto:webmas...@jamescobban.net?subject=Email%20Message> Web-site: www.jamescobban.net <http://www.jamescobban.net/> 34 Palomino Dr. Kanata, ON, CANADA K2M 1M1 +1-613-592-9438 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1392460 Title: resume hang ubuntu 14.10 kernel 3.16 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since upgrading to 14.10 every time I open the laptop lid the system hangs after enabling the keyboard but before turning on the display.
