Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Symptom:
Using gnome-power-manager to suspend (by closing lid), suspend will work the first time only. Subsequently lid closures lock the screen but do not suspend.
Other info:
"sudo pmi action suspend" works properly for repeated suspends. That's the reason I'm guessing this bug is against gnome-power-
Resolution:
Tracked it down to the tap0 interface, which is connected to a vde_switch process.
(This is how /etc/network/
auto tap0
iface tap0 inet static
address 10.10.10.3
network 10.10.10.0
broadcast 10.10.10.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
vde_switch vde-net
After issuing the following command, suspend works for repeat lid closures.
sudo ifdown tap0
