the title says almost everything.

If i suspend my ubuntu 12.04 on a compaq 615 laptop, on wake up everthing works perfectly apart from the fact that the fans don't wake up, cpu heats and upon reaching 90°C somehow triggers the fans to start. (idles at around 59°C).

Any ideas?

    This sounds like a hardware issue. Try a live boot and see if the same thing occurs. If it does, you might want to consider taking the computer to get repaired.

The problem might be with your laptop because I have seen many cases where it becomes difficult to gain back your session after 'suspending' from terminal. Try cleaning your fans for one thing.

  • They are crystal clean and work perfectly when booting+shutting down.

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but you could try using a 3.5.0 kernel.

I had a similar experience to you when using 3.19.0 kernels on as Asus X453M laptop, but no such problem when using 3.5.0 kernels.

(Unfortunately I would really prefer a 3.19 kernel, because it allows me to get two-finger scrolling which I can't get with the earlier kernel.)

How to

$ apt-cache search linux-image-3.5
...

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.5.0-54-generic     # or whatever
...

When your machine reboots, you will need to go to Ubuntu (Advanced) and arrow-down to reach the 3.5.0 kernel.

If the older kernel satisfied you, you could make grub select it automatically.
