Firstly thanks for your time. Secondly, having an issue with my power charger on my Samsung Series 9 NP900X3F.

When I boot into Ubuntu with the charger plugged in it recognises it as charging. When I unplug the charger after this it is still says it is charging.

If I suspend in Ubuntu then plug/unplug during this suspended state it recognises it, but not during normal running.

If I knew a little more I'm sure I could grab logs and find out what the difference between wake on suspend and normal running is, but alas I need help!

I also am having issues with my keyboard backlight via the fn keys, but that I care about far less.

Thank you very much.

Linux mikey-900X3F 3.12.0-031200rc1-generic #201309161735 SMP Mon Sep 16 21:38:21 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

(I upgraded my kernel version to remove heinous horizontal artefacts I was getting)

Happy to list more info about my system, ima bit of a noob. I did try searching however I can't find any questions at all about my system or related models with the same issue.

Why does my laptop resume immediately after suspend?

I seem to be having some problem with suspend mode. Every time I try to suspend my laptop, it just locks the screen. Or maybe it successfully suspends just to resume only an instant after. What could cause such a behaviour? I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with the 3.2.0-25 kernel on a HP dv5-1178er… >>> More
