[Bug 1453742] Re: xorg started to systematically crash after every suspend/resume
teo1978, thank you for the quick follow up.
>"I won't update my BIOS until Ubuntu offers a way of doing it in a simple way without relying on another OS."
Just to advise, this will more than likely not happen anytime soon (on
the order of years).
In the PC industry, the responsibility of the BIOS update mechanism is
upon the computer OEM (in this case Acer) and the OS vendor they have a
formal partnership with (in this case Microsoft).
However, if they don't formally support your OS (like with Ubuntu), or
they don't have an alternative update method as a courtesy (burn update
to ISO and reboot into this environment, etc.) then the next best known
good working solution is temporarily install the OS the OEM supports,
and then update the BIOS as they intended when they sold you the
computer.
At this point, you have put yourself in an impossible situation in the
short-medium term because you would rather wait for years for something
that may never materialize, versus take the hour out of your time to do
as previously requested (which in itself is quite simple). If you want
to wait, that's fine, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Title:
xorg started to systematically crash after every suspend/resume
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
- I suspended
- I pressed a key to resume
- the screen turned on and I was prompted for the password as usual
- I entered the password
=> my previous session was lost, every application I had left open
prior to suspend was closed, all unsaved data was lost and everything
was as if I had just rebooted.
Then I tried suspending and resuming again just for the sake of
testing, and it happened again, exactly the same way.
It now happens 100% of the times systematically.
Now maybe (I hope) it will stop happening after a reboot, but for now, once it has started happening, it has become systematic.
This is not the first time I observe it.
