Problem with waking up after suspend. 12.04 URGENT

Asked by Roman Battaglia

Whenever my laptop wakes up after lifting the lid, sometimes it wont show the login screen. Just the mouse, when i press escape, the mouse blinks. I am thinking it may have something to do with my logitech mouse because when the reciever is plugged in this problem happens more often. It also happens less when i use the touch pad to wake the laptop up. I have a ibuypower laptop with and i7 processor and ubuntu 12.04 LTS. i am losing my documents because of this random thing happening. PLEASE HELP!

Dual GPUs are a LOT of bother in Linux. I have seen nothing but issues with it and it is best avoided. This link may help:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics

Before you close the lid, save the file then close.

I doubt you will getany joy with this. This is due to nvidia refusing to support the technology. They did join the Linux Foundation so it may get better.
