Title:
  asus ul30a resume broken very badly

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I don't even know where to begin. I have an Asus UL30A laptop from
  2010 or so which I recently upgraded to 12.10.

  Beyond the known continual bug with screen brightness not working
  properly, there is now a problem with suspend/resume that is so severe
  I can't use it.

  Suspend worked great on 11.10 and earlier. I don't know about 12.04. I
  recently put in a brand new SSD and installed 12.10 with full disk
  encryption, so nothing from the old installation remains.

  Now, when I suspend it looks like it worked okay, but all of the
  following bugs occur on resume. Not necessarily all at once, but all
  of them happen at some kind or another.

  1. Resumes, but the filesystem is read only. Checking mount, it is
  *not* mounted read only. Prevents me from running any programs,
  including "reboot", so the only solution is to physically power it
  down and reboot.

  2. Resumes, but does not accept my password. I am 100% certain I am
  typing it correctly. When I go to a VTTY and type my username it never
  even prompts me for a password, it just fails silently. Seems likely
  to be related to (1).

  3. Resumes, but mouse is non-functional. Fixable by going to a VTTY,
  rmmod psmouse, and modprobe psmouse. I can deal with this, but most
  users won't be able to.

  4. Resumes, but continually reports errors and asks to report them. I
  usually click "sure report them" or whatever, but it never brings up
  the website to do so. I doubt that they have ever gotten sent. Most of
  these relate to "failure to suspend/resume" from looking at the
  details.

  I mean, this is just horrible. So bad that I end up just turning the
  laptop screen off when I tote it around instead of suspending. It's
  ridiculous, and I have no clue where to start since the bug reporting
  appreport is crashing. What the heck should I be doing here? I know I
  need to modify the kernel options in order to get screen brightness to
  work right and that's a level of hacking that I'm comfortable with.
  But this other stuff? What on earth is wrong with modprobe that mouse
  is breaking? Is the filesystem remounting as fake read only because
  it's an SSD that's not being handled right? How can I figure this out
  when no programs work because of the bug?

  Very, very disappointed in this latest ubuntu release. It's rendered a perfectly functional laptop into a total disaster. I'm still going to stick with Ubuntu because at this point I'm committed, but this is just really really bad.
