Black screen after sleep. Asus EEE1025

[jas]

That sounds familiar (see post: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/index...9#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.

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.
