Hi,
Im running 13-04, and I am *very* impressed apart from the slight
issue, of it locking up when the lid on the laptop is closed and
re-opened.
I can find nothing that shouts at me in either the kern.log or x.log
but it has happened 3 times now!
It is worth noting that it does not happen every time the lid is
closed approx 1 in 5?
The system is fully updated as of 9.30 am today.
Symptoms:- open lid the 'screensaver' asks for password (as
it should) the desktop reappears but the mouse cursor will not move,
the keyboard is unresponsive (can't bring the dash up with 'super
key' and ctrl-alt F1 does not work in dropping to shell the only
thing i can do is a 'hard reset' hold the power button down for 10
sec (ish) and switch the machine off!
System Details:- Ubuntu 13-04 (Unity), 3gb RAM, 160gb HDD,
(6gb Swap partition) INTEL graphics chip. (I also have XBMC & GNOME
installed but not used when this problem presents itself!)
Anyone had a similar thing? or any ideas??
TIA
Pete
Hi Pete,
Do you have another machine that you can use when this happens? If you
do, then you might be able to SSH into your locked-up laptop to run some
more tests whilst the machine is actually "locked up".

Hi,
The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5720.
And Yes I do have access to another LINUX machine (not Ubutnu but
openSuse) but that is at home and I am not at the moment! if the problem
occurs when I am at home I will try ssh'ing into the laptop via suse, in
the mean time I just trying to find out what is happening as it is *not*
necessarily re-produceable 'on demand' only happens 1 in 5 times the lid
is closed (approx).
Hope this helps
Pete
