[Swlug] REISUB issue continues

[Jonathan Marsden]

Rhys,

For the chromium/hotmail password issue, which may not be related to suspend problems, I'd suggest: (a) see if the issue goes away if you always use Firefox instead of Chromium for a few days (just to verify it really is Chromium-related!); (b) disable or remove any/all addons/extensions/etc to Chromium you may have accidentally left enabled, browse to under chrome://extensions to check for those; (c) try starting Chromium from the command line as 

  /usr/bin/chromium --temp-profile &

which should start it with a new temporary profile (which it will throw away when you exit Chromium, so this is a test, not a long term solution!) ;

(d) try running Chromium as a newly-created test user, so that it will have a new clean user profile, and see if the issue is still there.  If not, you could consider exporting all your bookmarks, then nuking your Chromium profile for your real user (there is a manage profiles menu item somewhere in Chromium's menus!), and then re-importing your bookmarks.  (e) As a last resort you could try purging Chromium (sudo apt-get purge chromium) and then deleting everything under ~/.config/chromium/ and ~/.cache/chromium for your real user, then reinstall Chromium (sudo apt-get install chromium) -- be prepared to lose all your Chromium customizations and settings if you do that!

I think the suspend/resume issue may be trickier, and possibly rather hardware specific.  It's pretty rare on newer hardware, though -- how old is your "new" laptop? 

[Another thought: If you do my option (e) above with chromium, then you could try rebooting after the sudo apt-purge chromium, and then testing suspend/resume functionality, to see whether the two issues really are related, before you reinstall chromium. ]

Hoping all this at least gives you some ideas!

Jonathan
