Re: Anyone having trouble with sleep?

I've been having trouble getting my machines to sleep/standby/suspend
(basically anything that isn't hibernate).
 
The issue I'm having is that anytime I have it initiate any of the
states listed above (and all variants), I can never pull it out of
sleep. Resume doesn't happen when pressing on the keyboard or moving
the mouse. In fact, even pressing the power button won't rez the
system to resume. Funny enough the CPU fan will still spin in all
sleep states (except hibernate) but no other fans do.

  I had a similar problem with one laptop. I would listen to music on it
while travelling (on train or bus). Closing the lid would blank the
video and put the machine in a low power state while still playing the
music.
  But when I opened the lid and pressed a key or touched the track pad,
it didn't respond. I even tried the power button, but no dice!
  I found that I could switch to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1), then
switch back (Alt-F7), and the video would magically come back on. But
it was annoying having to do that. My solution: new laptop.
