[SOLVED] Lenovo T61 will not go to standby/suspend

Hi All -

My Lenovo T61 will no longer suspend/standby.  It seems like its going to, half-moon begins flashing but then it seems to come back to a halfway state and I see "Syncing Filesystems" on the screen...  Any clues as to where I should look to gain some insight here?  FWIW this only started happening recently, it was working great for a long time beforehand.

Thanks,

Archieman

Yep, thats the exact same issue.  The "fix" sounds like a winblows way of doing things.  Thanks for the tip, I will follow up with that thread.

UPDATE:  A very similar issue started happening on my Lenovo X61 now too.  What the heck is going on here???

I have the same problem in T410, but I can not solve it with your method.

I wonder if it affects all thinkpad models...

Can you solve it in both in T61 and X61 by "rmmod vboxdrv"?

Thanks for your advice, however, I don't think they are the same problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Lenovo T61 will not go to standby/suspend

Looks like this issue may have been solved by the latest virtualbox update.

I was having this same problem on my T61p and it persisted even after updating to kernel 3.0.  Looks like a new virtualbox was released today, after upgrading everything is now working normally, no need to remove vboxdrv from modules.  Good thing too, I use vbox a lot!
