on waking from suspend: panel text missing etc.

[Searchernow]

Suspend & Hibernate on Linux in general [member=7079]Searchernow[/member] is historically troublesome. On some hardware, it's perfect, on others, not so. It's luck of the draw for what hardware you run. Don't hate us. Consider all the freedoms you're getting in linux vs MS. Lock is a great option, at least you have security that way. Starting from suspend only to auto-login leaves your pc wide open. Food for thought.

Thanks Jerry,
it was more my attempt (on this occasion) to just leave the computer running, albeit with display set to go off after 20 mins, then an hour or more later finding I'd to use password to resume (ie it was not from suspend) .....

I'm trying running just on external monitor since yesterday, who knows...!

But no - I don't hate Linux Lite! I love it. When I'm not having these crashes it works very well and I enjoy using it.
I love the ethos of a community project, free to those who can't afford to pay, and not linked with certain very violent people....
Aso it doesn't expect me to study linux, I've enough to learn and do with cad software (on my Win7 pc) and life in general without that.

I suspected it might be a hardware issue, though that is not definitely established in my case. I guess that Windows installed on various brands of PCs is not a standard Windows, but customized to each computer and its features. So our installation of Lite on various computers is bound to (?) occasionally encounter some problems. (just guessing here ...)

I hope the Lite laptop project takes off, I'd love to think of a ready to run Lite laptop, customized to the hardware, available at a good price for established and new computer users - who want to buy a great product, not become the product.

Anyway, I've downloaded a fresh copy of 3.8 so as time allows, backups etc, I'll do a new install.
