Sorry for the delay. Haven't had time to sit down even... Anyway, seems like they just pushed up some updates to the kernel and microcode. -- I'll apply the updates now and post back, I've also noticed some other minor things got borked now and then. Such as terminal not wanting to open (rare times), and my Slack client unable to start anymore. -- I suppose that's what I get for not waiting till the end of the month to apply updates. -___-

My computer isn't using legacy, and is custom built. So ACPI may sound like the problem w/ the newer kernal. Worst case I'll see if disabling it would solve my problem.

Sounds like an acpi bug in the bios, or kernel toward your bios - see if there's an update for it.  Anytime I've had suspend issues, it's almost always a bios thing, particularly in Dell, or or kernel folks begrudgingly write an exception to deal with popular, crappy hardware.

This issue single-handed holds back linux in general on laptop hardware as every laptop is different, where the vendors usually write crappy windoze code and drivers to work around their poor, non-standard bios'.

If you're using grub/legacy bios, might try EFI if it supports it.  Not sure how much will follow through and plague you, but might prove better, or at least more standard these days.  Dell is at least one that actually *does* consider linux vs. the lenovo, toshiba, and hp's that still pretend no one uses linux desktops.

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my kernel to ver 4.13.0-26, and updated my Intel Microcode for the latest security fixes (3.20180108.0~ubuntu16.04.2) w/ some other updates revolving my Mint installation. It started happening once after everything was upgraded. All my software seems to be working fine after the updates. Virtualbox, Docker, FireFox, etc... For whatever reason when my machine goes to sleep, and I attempt to wake it up. It literally freezes on a frame of my applications reappearing (fadded) w/ the desktop wallpaper behind them.

Has anyone had anything like this happen to them? -- I disabled the power saving option to avoid this at the moment.
