after resuming from suspend, machine immediately suspends again

[gilado]

This happens infrequently.  First I suspend the machine (using a hotkey), then use the power button to resume. After some disk churn the screen lits up showing everything the way it was before I suspended.  Then after a second or two the machine suspends again.

The only way out of this cycle is to hold the power button down to force hard shut-off. After turning the machine on again, everything goes back to normal.

It looks like there are a bunch of hotkey events queued up somewhere, I'm looking for an idea how to flush this queue during the suspend operation.

Does anyone know if this was resolved? I am getting similar problems. If I suspend using the power key, when it resumes then it just suspends again. If I suspend by closing lid or using "leave" button (or it suspends itself) then on resume all is OK.
(Note I have configured pressing power button and closing lid to hibernate)

It might help to know which flavour of PCL you gents are using. Often asked by potential helpers, I've noticed.

And does it actually Suspend? My laptops wake up, and then drop to a blank screen pretending to be asleep, but actually only waiting for a scratchpad or mouse input to light up the screen and act normally.

If I can remember it right...
When I press the sleep button (Fn + F2 here) multiple times, nearly 'at once', it goes into sleep; when I wake it up, it goes again in sleep in the amount of times I pressed the sleep button....

Maybe you pressed the button a little longer, and maybe is your keyboard repetition really fast    


Don't know for sure; if what I remember is OK, and my thoughts are a little OK, maybe that could be the reason -- however, it can be something else too of course

Ah. I mouse-click the Hibernate from the Shut-down menu (right end of Taskbar LXDE), or shut the lid because the Power Manager has been taught to react in that way to lid closing. My LXDE Fn button has produced patchy results so I don't use it. One click, some thinking and whirring goes on, and it hibernates. Press Power, it comes to life and flashes the Desktop, then goes blank-screen until I move or click where-upon the Desktop is back. One man's experience, user results may vary!
