apokluda's questions

I recently assembled a new computer with the second generation Intel Core i7-2600K processor (Sandy Bridge) and solid state drive. The solid state drive is only 60 GB and I have lots of RAM so I did no create a swap partition. Ubuntu is installed on a GUID partition and I'm using EFI boot if that's relevant. My motherboard is the Asus P8Z68-V LE and I currently have the automatic overclocking feature enabled.

Every thing seems to be working fine with this new system at the moment, except I cannot put it to sleep. If I choose "Suspend" in GNOME 3, the computer shuts off and I have trouble turning it on again. Here's what happens when I try to turn the computer on again after it fails to sleep:

1. The first time I push the power button to turn it on again, my monitors won't turn on again and the system doesn't do anything. At this point, I hold the power button to turn the computer off again.

2. The second time I try to turn it on, the UEFI (BIOS) beeps three times and I still don't see anything on the monitors. I have to push and hold the power button again to get it to shut off.

3. The third time I try and turn the computer on, it works okay.

So far I haven't had any problem shutting the system down or booting it up. Has any one else experienced this problem? Or could anyone point me in the right direction to find a solution?

Thanks!

I just assembled a new computer with an Intel Core i7-2600K CPU and I am using the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor. I have an Asus P8Z68V-LE mother board that has a VGA, DVI and HDMI output. I have a Samsung monitor to the DVI port and an Acer monitor connected to the HDMI port. Both monitors are detected by the Displays utility and the Acer monitor works just fine, but I can't get the Samsung monitor to work when I am at my Unity desktop.

When I first installed Ubuntu, the Displays utility showed both monitors as enabled with mirrored displays. The Samsung monitor appeared to be getting a video signal, but the display was blank.

At the moment, I have the Acer monitor enabled and Samsung monitor disabled in the Displays utility and the Samsung monitor has gone to sleep. If I try and enable both monitors with a mirrored display again (using a resolution of 1680x1050), I get a dialog box showing with the error "could not assign CRTCs to outputs".

If I try and enable the Samsung monitor and use and extended desktop across the two displays, the Samsung monitor wakes up and I can drag windows over to it, but it shows nothing on the screen.

When the computer boots, both monitors show the same content at the EFI screen and at the GRUB screen. Both monitors show a light purple background while Ubuntu loads. I only seem to have a problem with the second monitor after I get to the desktop screen. Additionally, if I boot into Windows, both monitors work with an extended desktop without any problem.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue. I thought I better post here before reporting a bug against xserver-xorg-video-intel. Thanks! :)
