Black screen after sleep. Asus EEE1025 - jas - 03-16-2015
Hello
Just installed LL on my netbook, and I love it, but there is one thing I cannot live with. Looking at this forum, and many others, but cannot find a solution. Maybe, and I hope, there is!
So after putting the lid down of my netbook, or putting it to sleep manually. I cannot see it woken up.
There is a black screen, no mouse cursor, but there is hdd movement. (the led is blinking).
Sometimes, after more than 5 minutes, the login screen appears again. (but that can be because I clicked something in the black screen.)
output of inxi -zv7

Now I tried, Installed
Code:
sudo apt-get install acpi-supportBut no luck. Same thing.
Also tried disabling the screensaver. Which is not possible, so I put it to be active after many hours.
Fiddled around with the settings in the Power Manager. Dont see any difference in suspend or hibernate behaviour. Sometimes one of the two is greyed out, and I cannot choose.
I was trying this, as I think it is an option for LL no? But cannot find the file. (Off topic, but where is the search in the file manager Thunar?)

Thanks for any help in advance!

Don't forget to do File, Restart Daemon on Screensaver after any changes, or they won't stick.

Ok, but we were many forced shutdowns later already
. Found the disable screensaver and restarted the daemon. It is something different than Ubuntu, and I like it. But not this black screen.............

Update
- black screen problem continues
also after totally disabling the screensaver.
Workaround.
in Powermanager select "do nothing" when run on AC power when lid closes.
on battery power select "suspend" (that is what I want to function normally)
So unplugged and lid closed, result black screen.
Plug AC in, black screen stays.
Close lid.
Open lid
And I do have my screen back.
(what a way...)

How about giving Jerry a
Code:
sudo parted -lreport because you cut off the ram report on your inxi report and your inxi report shows no ram specs like mine does.
or a /swap partition.

That sounds familiar (see post: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index.php?topic=839.msg12349#msg12349).
As in my last post there, after killing light-locker the system now uses the XScreenSaver look screen when coming back from suspend. Since then I didn't have to reboot, even if it takes sometimes quite a while (and lots of disk I/O) for the XScreenSaver window to show up.
Still an issue however is the network connection after coming back from suspend, but also not consistent. Roughly half of the time the network has been disabled. Enabling it via the panel icon doesn't help though. I need to restart the NetworkManager:
$ sudo kill $(pidof NetworkManager)
Then all is fine. For me it's annoying but I know what to do.
It stops me however to put the system on other people's computer 
Are you able to get to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1)?
PS: Just saw your last post with your workaround... haven't tested this.

Great!!!
You pointed me in the right direction. THANKS
Yesterday during install I formatted the boot (sda5) and the home (sda6) dir. And in some way, the swap got lost. So with Gparted I recreated it again, and it works. The output

It is working!
GREAT. THANKS

Yes, I saw your post. Had it once that the network manager was not working. (out of 20). I am on cable now, because wireless does not want to connect. We will see. One thing at a time.
And yes, I could get in the console, and shut down the machine. But off course being a blind man.
