So, this morning, I have been installing Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell Mini 9 and everything went better than ever, installation-wise. But, as soon as I closed the lid, the machine froze. Of course, like all Linux users, I pulled up Google for a fix, and found one:
I edited the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend script and before the script did anything, so right before the “# The rule here? Simplicity. I added,
umount /media/<SD Card Mount-point>
To find out the mount point (or path), just insert your SD card, find the pencil by the location bar in the file browser and copy the path it gives you.
Well, you’re no help desk technician, but it seemed to work on my HP Presario 5700, still having issues with my video card. I’m no Linux pro, but thank the gods for google. :D
You can sleep it with an SD card in?
Works like a charm ! Thanks !
Hi, I am looking at online for new DELL high-performance laptop on aol. My aged Inspiron laptop is running really loud. This has been a issue for the past three-four months. It is usually at 70-100% usage, even when the laptop is just sitting. Also, the Dell Inspiron e1505 battery can’t last for even 1 hour. You made some great points & I am so happy I found your help here. I’m sure I’ll visit here again soon.
thanks for sharing
