I cannot use my mouse to unlock my screen after the computer has been sleeping. Instead, I have to use a long hold on the power button to power it down, then reboot.
I have an April 2014 manufactured BOXDN2820FYKH0 Version # H22962-101, with Firmware 0032 and running Debian Jessie (the latest 'testing' version). So far, this is my only problem.
Problem: I have no mouse on wake from ‘Suspend’, either timed or manual ‘Suspend’; maybe I have no keyboard, too, but I would need the mouse first to unlock the computer screen after the computer wakes.
Details:
- Suspend under Debian is a deep sleep mode where the power-button light flashes slowly
- the NUC goes into Suspend automatically if set to do so in the Power panel, or manually by selecting Suspend from the main menu
- Symptoms:
- I can wake the computer by
- Apple wired USB Keyboard & Apple Mouse: hit Return, then computer wakes, or
- Logitech K400 Wireless touch Keyboard: 'Return' doesn’t work, so I touch the NUC power button instead to wake the computer
- On wake, in either case, I see the Debian lock screen but I cannot use the Mouse or 'Return' to summon the password entry box to unlock the screen
- I can wake the computer by
- Instead, I have to power off the NUC by holding the power button for several seconds until it turns off, then reboot
'HIbernate' alternative to 'Suspend' from Debian main menu:
- I can recover OK with a fully functioning keyboard & mouse from a manually-set state called ‘Hibernate’ (power button remains lit, screen dark). The fact that the light never goes out makes me wonder if this state really is a low power mode or if the NUC doesn’t understand Hibernate command from the Debian.
Q: Can anyone help me with this?
