Zorin 7 Lite -- Resume Problem

Greetings to all!

I have successfully installed the current 7-lite .iso on older hardware (Intel-mobo, Athlon 2800, 1GB Ram, 100GB HDD, built-in Ethernet (VIA-Rhine) & Video (VIA)). Everything worked fine (even suspend & resume, which so far hung on every other Ubuntu-based flavor I've tested!) except for re-activating Ethernet upon resume. That i got to work after a few tweaks (changed to auto-ethernet setting).

This morning, a kernel update from the .iso's 3.8.0-29 kernel to the 3.8.0-30 kernel came through. Following the install & reboot, the previously-working "resume from sleep" is now BROKEN: all vital signs of a properly running system show (num-lock light toggles ok, usb-mouse's light stays lit, HDD-light shows activity), but the display switches to "no signal" after waking up initially, and there's no discernable keyboard or mouse focus either. A hard reset (power-switch press for 5 secs) is required to turn the system off (risking corruption of the file systems). Subsequent re-booting works just fine, and system is again fully operational. All the major logs look ok, too (to me anyway, a nuB).

Suggestions a nuB to Linux can follow?

Hi and welcome to the forum,

firstly; the resume thingy has been causing problems on Ubuntu based systems for ages, if you take a look at answer #5 here:

It may hold a solution to the problem, other than that; I suggest you don't use it (the resume function) because it will most likely cause you headaches again when you don't need them!, it is much easier to log out if you want security whilst away from your PC!.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
