Description g.xrc.r98 2011-10-09 11:52:31 UTC 
metacity does not resume (after suspend) on evo n610c
bug detected in natty.
there was no pb in maverick.
Symptoms after resume:
- screen is swithed on, and shows password window, for unlocking, but it is frozen
- mouse pointer is visible and moving, shape changes depending on position, but the screen (text area for password, buttons, remains frozen)
- keyboard is active: password can be input, to unlock the desktop
- even after password unlock, screen remains frozen
- Ctrl-Alt-Fn is working to switch to console and back.
- The only workaroud found is to switch to compiz (using the console)

2nd side affect: 
Power manager shows a 2nd battery (which is not present)

In the past I made some testing for kernel team on the same PC to have suspend working, but I don't remember exactly for which relaese, maybe 9.04. And it has been working from this time untill natty release.
It is a slow PC, so I'm used to run metacity (without compositing), not compiz.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2011-10-12 13:42:43 UTC 
Which exact metacity version is this about?
Comment 3 g.xrc.r98 2011-10-13 18:49:22 UTC 
in ubuntu natty:
version as in synaptic: 1:2.30.3-0ubuntu8 (natty)
$metacity --version
metacity 2.30.3

in ubuntu oneiric
version as in synaptic: 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4 (oneiric beta 2)
$metacity --version
metacity 2.34.1

oneiric final has been released today, so i'll download, re-install, test and feedback... a little later. But version of metacity seems to be the same.

Is this still a problem in case you still use metacity?
