Sony Vaio FW350 reboots instead of waking up after sleep/suspend

Solution 1:

The fix provided in this link solved my problem:

  1. You just have to edit the /etc/default/grub file:

    gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
    
  2. Look up the line where it says:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
    

    and change it to:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_sleep=nonvs"
    
  3. Save the file and close gedit.

  4. Update the GRUB menu:

    sudo update-grub
    
  5. Reboot and enjoy!
