[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#689672: base: blank non-responsive screen after waking system up from suspend

[evan]

Package: base
Severity: normal


When the user wakes the system up from suspend the computer screen is blank.
As a novice to debian I did not know how to shutdown the computer properly.
I attempted to press the power button + enter to shut the system down properly
after waiting a few minutes the computer did not shutdown. I tried ctrl+alt+
delete+enter and after a few minutes the system did not shutdown. I then held 
the power button down in order to turn the system off. When I rebooted the sys-
tem and attempted to boot the boot loader hung on "waiting for /dev to be
fully populated". I then shut the system down again by holding down the power
button. I booted into recovery mode this time and the boot loader hung on the
ACPI section -- sorry next time I will write down the message from the boot
loader. I shut the system down again by holding the power button down. I
loaded into recovery mode again and the debian system loaded sucessfully. I am
not sure how to provide a backtrace in debian but if instructed via email I 
would be happy to provide any additional useful information.  Thank you for 
providing and maintianing debian.
