On sleep, open processes are closed

Question

I am using a DELL Inspiron 1525.

I have setup close-lid to sleep mode. On waking up from sleep, all my previously open processes have been closed and I am shown a blank desktop.

Any known solutions to this?

Thanks.

Perhaps you are suffering from this issue. The solution provided in the comments works for me (also a Inspiron 1525) so far.

The solution from erny(erevilla):

 * Create a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/50_custom with the following content:

 --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<--
 #!/bin/sh

 # Action script to shutdown modules before suspending.
 # before a hibernate
 #

 #

 PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

 case "${1}" in
    suspend|suspend_hybrid|hibernate)
        rmmod uvcvideo
        rmmod usbhid
        rmmod psmouse
            ;;

    resume|thaw)
        modprobe uvcvideo
        modprobe usbhid
        modprobe psmouse
            ;;

 esac

 --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<-- cut --8<--

Now the script has to be made executable:

 sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/50_custom
