I'm sorry for not reporting back, but in an e-mail thread with the Kernel team we found that the problem was the wake on USB feature in my BIOS, designed to allow the computer to wake up on keyboard input. Somehow the iPod would send the same signal when the computer went into standby, immediately waking it up again.
Unfortunately, at the moment, I'm not longer using Ubuntu. So it's not possible for me to test this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/889482 Title: System will not suspend while iPod touch is connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/889482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
