Hang on a sec' - you are conflating 2 different questions here. Q1: does it actually suspend & then resume? Q2: when it resumes, does it stop & prompt for a password or go directly to the desktop? Telling if it suspends can be a bit like trying to tell if the little light goes out when you close the fridge door. If you can see, it's not closed yet so it stays on. But there are ways. Normally if a portable suspends, it goes silent - the fans stop, the hard disk spins down, etc. It will often go cool if not 100% cold. The power LED may blink or pulse slowly, or a special sleep LED may light up. E.g. on my Toshiba Satellite the LED pulses slowly, but on my 2 old Thinkpads, the power LED stays on but a small crescent-mood LED lights up to tell you it's asleep. Firstly, is your machine sleeping? Once we have verified that, /then/ we can work out why it's not asking for a password. But if it doesn't sleep, then it doesn't wake, and if it doesn't wake then it will never ask for the password. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
