Laptop screen stays off when it is switched on from suspend

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

The output actionaparsnip is "The program 'udo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install udo"

should i install it?

Read the command I gave, then think......

 *-display
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310]
       vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics)
       physical id: 1
       bus info: pci@0000:00:01.0

now what?

*sigh*

And the rest of the command I gave:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Can you please stop being a little smart arse, i am new to ubuntu and if you aren't willing to elaborate on things then please just fuck off, am pretty sure a can get help from elsewhere

I asked for the output of a command, first you miscopied the command, then the second try you only ran part of it so I am requesting the bit you missed. If you copy and paste the command I gave in FULL and ran it we'd be progressing by now, but we aren't. Please run the command I gave in #5 and provide the output.

Thanks

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
Linux saad-eME644 3.2.0-24-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 25 08:43:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

thats what i get after doing the command in #5

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l

I may have found a fix. Suspend is a PAIN to get working if it doesn't work out of the box, it will take a lot of head banging and is not worth it.

Thanks

so what now

All I could find is this:

Which is for a different eMachines but may help. Seems the boot option:

acpi_os_name="Microsoft Windows XP" resume=/dev/sda5 nmi_watchdog=0

Is what you need. If that doesn't work than I have no idea. I've searched all over. I've not seen too many success stories with eMachines tbh.

well i appreciate your help, thanks a lot, sorry if a offended you earlier!

Its cool :)
