If you want your problem addressed, and so your hardware and problem may be tracked, please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:


Requiring that the original reporter of an issue keeps responding is a great wait of deceiving yourself into believing that bugs are fixed.
Look, I have a Thinkpad T61p, I am literally typing this message from it, and I can tell you that with a very high probability it will hang when trying to resume from hibernation.
I already told you about that. So why do you want me to do further work and write another bug report?

Creating a fresh one will only delete information, especially the fact
that this hasn't been fixed since 2009. I don't know how your developers
work, but to me issues get higher priority with increasing age. When
working off the bug tracker, I sort my search results accordingly, and
deal with the oldest issues first. By resetting the age, you're force-
deprioritizing the issue, which is disappointing for me as a user :(

Title:
  Thinkpad T61p cannot resume from suspend

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have just installed Kubuntu 9.04 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T61p.

  Now suspend to RAM and suspend to disk (hibernate) does not work.
  It will suspend, but not wake up. The screen stays black, so I cannot see if it is actually coming up behind it.

  This is really a big problem, because it causes data loss for people
  who have applications open with unsaved data in it.

  PLEASE, do not release versions that will cause users to lose data.
  Maybe suspend should be disabled for problematic hardware that will
  not wake from suspend. Maybe a warning should be shown if trying to
  suspend.

  I hope you will make this bug a priority.
