Another observation: If Thunderbird is running when I suspend the machine, or if I walk away long enough for the screen to lock, I get this problem.
Here's the version from dpkg-query. Version: 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 Issues (these happen sometimes but not always, and only when Thunderbird is running, it seems): The Synaptics touchpad device vanishes on unlocking the screen. The Intel HD Audio device vanishes on unlocking the screen. All user programs killed and session logged out on resume from suspend. The vanished devices require I log out and back in again. (Maybe a simple X server restart would do it, but I haven't looked around to find out how to do that -- ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't do it under Unity). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362075 Title: session logout after suspend To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/362075/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
