I have a Asus S56CA laptop. When I bought this laptop, it came prinestalled with Windows 8 wich I updated to 8.1. I soon decided that Windows wasn't right for me and decided to use my old Ubuntu 12.04 LTS disk to install Ubuntu and experienced no problems with this. I then updated this to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using sudo update-manager -d.

After this update I have had troubles waking up my laptop after closing the lid. I am either receiving a black, blank screen where all I can see is the mouse (The mouse can be moved) or the lock screen which I cannot interact with at all (Entering Password, moving mouse etc). I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they got around it. If not, does anyone know a way to fix this and stop it from happening in the future.

Thanks all.

This can be a temp. fix by trying to avoid suspending. Do the following: Go to Dash then System Setting, power and the choose When lid is closed do nothing.
