Suspend and hibernate don't work Sony Vaio F Series Ubuntu 11.04

Asked by John Phillips

(New Ubuntu user, sorry for any ignorance.)
Computer is Sony Vaio F Series VPCF1390X
Running Ubuntu 11.04, installed May 6, 2011

When I select "Suspend" or "Hibernate" from the menu at the upper right of the screen, the screen goes blank, but the fan keeps running, and ramps up after several seconds. I have let it run for a few minutes, and it does not stop on its own. Pressing the power button briefly does nothing. The only thing I can do that does anything is to hold the power button until the machine shuts down.

From this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Laptop/Sony/Vaio/FSeries/Natty, I expect suspend and hibernate to work just fine for 11.04 on this machine.

Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.

Update: the above description is only accurate for suspend--the fan runs for at least 10 min. Hibernate actually appears to work.

Did you ever log a bug on this issue? I'm having the exact same issue. If there's an existing bug I'd like to check it out.

Never mind. I'll read the whole page next time.

Can you help with this problem?
