on waking from suspend: panel text missing etc.

Session interruption instantly hungs the system in my case, including the screen lock, but maybe in particular this is the screen lock. The system seems to work in the background, knowing by the web-browser output heard in the speakers at one time, but the primary - and only - display is completely stuck. Hard reset necessary. This may be a bigger issue than it seems, as if when someone for example watches a movie and the system goes to sleep, to never be able to continue current session. Immersion break complete.

Your demons may be different ones to mine, but the cause just might be similar. I'm not knowledgeable re the finer points of code, so I'll just say what I did.

(and by the way in my case the browsers still worked ok, having their own font).

What I figured was that as the problem was always at the point of waking maybe there was some clash of functions, or possibly too much going on for my hardware to handle.

First: I used have SD card in place and had Backups utility set to automatically backup daily. So on waking here were two extra routines going on - SD drive reading and Backup utility checking to see if backup had already happened today.
I disabled the latter utility (to manual) and removed the SD.  I did get an improvement, but another crash after 9 days.

Second: I looked for whatever else was happening at wake-up - Wifi.  Both wifi (already selected) and its connecting to already running hotspot - so after that I always de-select Enable Wifi (from the system tray on the Panel) then Suspend (always selecting from Logout menu on Panel).
After waking I then Enable Wifi.

I have now 4 weeks with only one crash - that happened when I woke just about 4 mins after Suspend - my guess was that there was still things going on in the background so soon after Suspend, so now I wait much longer.

It is of course all guesswork, but it does seem to have worked for me, and I think does make sense, especially using a generic Linux OS to replace a OEM customised Win 7 OS.

I hope these remedies lead to improvements for you, but play around Settings Manager>Power manager as well.

I've enjoyed using Linux Lite (still 3.8 ) .
