Prior to that I was told to try 3.18-rc5, and before that to try 3.16 which I did by migrating to 14.10, which I did not want to do because it is not an LTS release. I was NEVER told to try out 3.18 in any other version. As far as I am concerned the kernel team are desperately trying to find any excuse to not actually look at the problem. I have explained that I do not understand the instructions on exactly what to do to test out a kernel, and all you seem to have the time for is to criticize my stupidity, rather than explain exactly what it is that I have to do. My laptop has been marginally useful for over TWO years because resume doesn't turn on the backlight! Kernel 3.16 in Ubuntu 14.10 seems to have addressed every other suspend/resume issue I had, but the backlight is STILL not being turned on, and that means suspend/resume is unusable on my laptop. I am sick and tired of reporting this problem again every time I change releases, with no results. I appreciate that you are all volunteers but how hard can it be to turn on the backlight? I have begged the X-org team for a command to turn on the backlight, and the only response I get is "The driver should turn on the backlight." Well it doesn't.
Please tell me PRECISELY what I have to do. The lack of precision in your instructions so far have wasted your time and mine. -- 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.
