I’ve recently installed LL 4.4 on a circa 2014 gaming laptop. LL ran really smooth for the most part except when I would suspend the computer to put it to sleep. When I woke up the computer, after unlocking, it becomes a lagging mess. The usually smooth XFCE desktop lags when I try to switch between tabs and the mouse pointer is delayed when I move it around the screen.
I’ve looked around the forums on askUbuntu and Ubuntu users have reported a problem with waking up from suspend. It might be a problem with the kernel but I’m not sure. The solutions on the forums have not worked for me. One thing I have noticed though is that after waking my computer up, the fans in my laptop are running louder than usual and the xorg process is taking up more cpu than usual (15% - 50%).
I’ve installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers to play games, as the performance of Nouveau isn’t there just yet. I don’t know if this might be the cause of the problem but I just wanted to give as much information as possible. I hope I’m not the only one with this problem.
Thank you in advance.
