My hardware: laptop HP Elitebook 6930p, Intel Core duo, stock Radeon graphics controller

My OS sw: Ubuntu MATE 18.04.4

problem description:

  • with kernel 4.15.0-76 resume from suspend WORKS OKAY, as with all previous kernels since first installation of Ubuntu MATE

  • since updating kernel to 4.15.0-88 few weeks ago, resume from suspend DOES NOT WORK, system goes to suspend, but does not resume by pushing the power button, display blinks few times, stays black with cursor in top left corner. Reboot starts system again normally.

  • trying to solve problem by upgrading kernel to 5.3.0-40 but resume from suspend DOES NOT WORK, same problem like with kernel 4.15.0-88. Reboot starts system again normally.

  • now having all mentioned kernels installed, and when selecting kernel 4.15.0-76 in grub, and starting system, resume from suspend works okay when pushing power button.

Seen many similar problem description at site, but not found working solution so far.

What should I do to fix this?

Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

  • Sorry for asking that, but why do you need newer kernels? – Gryu Mar 04 '20 at 21:04

    I always try to keep my systems (I mean all systems, Linux and Win) updated by installing the latests stock updates, no matter if it is kernel or other sw update, for security reasons. I do not want to upgrade kernels above stock, as I have bad experiences with older Ubuntu Gnome versions with not working kernel upgrades. Stock kernels have worked so far well, but this time not. – haksep Mar 04 '20 at 21:11
  • I use `5.3.0-40-lowlatency` on my laptop now. You could try it also: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1140575/how-do-i-get-the-newest-lowlatency-kernel-on-18-04-lts – Gryu Mar 04 '20 at 21:14
  • I have 5.3.0-40-generic installed now, and problem occurs with that kernel too. What does lowlatency do better to generic? – haksep Mar 04 '20 at 21:19
  • It's just hope it could magically work even if it is not expected) – Gryu Mar 04 '20 at 21:30
  • Edit your question and show me `sudo blkid` and `free -h` and `cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume` and `cat /etc/fstab`. – heynnema Mar 04 '20 at 22:21
  • Hello. I tried to edit but the formatting rules are bit strange for a newbie... Hope to have all info available. – haksep Mar 05 '20 at 05:34
