I was using a Sony Vaio SR29VN and when I tried to resume from suspension, the laptop would reboot instead of resuming. I understand that this may affect other models, however, I don't have a list. Luckily it's easy to fix: we need to add acpi_sleep=nonvs kernel option to the grub settings. Fix Edit (with root permissions) the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX on the file /etc/default/grub , adding the option acpi_sleep=nonvs . Then run this on the command line: sudo update-grub2 References suspend causes reboot

When using a laptop, the ability to suspend is a important feature because it allows to save some battery when idle and resume operation almost instantly. To suspend when laptop lid is closed proceed as follows: Open ' Settings Manager ' Select 'On AC' Select 'Suspend' from the combo-box. Related: Edit Xfce Settings with graphical interface
