Christopher,

First of all, I am pleased that I no longer need work-arounds for this
issue and the mouse-cursor disappearing.  Apparently, both issues were
addressed during or prior to 16.04.

I always try to minimize the time spent by investigators to extract
information that I supply.  As a developer, that is also what I would
want.  You said that submitting tar files in compressed form makes it
harder for folks to review the contents.  Let us put the GUI approach
aside.  Look solely at the command line for extracting the contents of a
tar-archive.

1. tar xvf something.tar               (uncompressed)
2. tar xvfz something.tar.gz        (gzip-compressed)

As I implied in comment #30, to a developer who uses the command line
regularly (E.g. me), #2 above is as simple as #1 above.  Same level of
effort.  However, as I also said previously, I will be happy to only
attach uncompressed tar-archives in the future.  Maybe this is something
we should have talked about on the phone or by email instead of in a bug
report.

As a developer, I understand that kernel developers are busy.  I
certainly appreciate the time that they have donated to the various
Linux distributions.  I also appreciate the time that you spend time
looking at the bug reports.  That is exactly why I acknowledged that
"This issue is no longer present" and marked it "Fix Released" as
quickly as I could so that you and others could shift attention
elsewhere as soon as possible.

My reporting this issue had the intention of highlighting an issue that
people with a laptop who use the Ubuntu base might also run into in
14.04.  I published a functional work-around so that (a) you and the
kernel developers would know that I was not waiting for a fix and (b)
another laptop user still on 14.04 could leverage the same work-around
[if needed] by substituting the name of their Ethernet module for
"r8169".

Title:
  In 14.04.04, r8169.ko cannot recover wired Ethernet connection after
  resume from suspend

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Whenever my laptop suspends (desirable) and then resumes, the r8169
  module cannot reconnect the wired Ethernet line.  This is consistent.
  I can see network_manager trying over and over to get a reconnection.

  WORKAROUND: After resume:
  sudo rmmod r8169
  sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname --kernel-release`/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko
