Ubuntu 10.10 won't suspend fix!

The other day when I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 I noticed something horrible! My system was no longer able to suspend. To me this is one big fat no no, as I use it on a daily basis. Luckily I found a solution to the problem on Ubuntu's release notes for 10.10.

When the XHCI module is loaded for USB 3.0 operation the system cannot suspend. Manually unloading XHCI will allow suspend to complete normally. To avoid future suspend problems, the workaround is to add SUSPEND_MODULES="xhci-hcd" to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_module then the system can suspend normally.

You can find more information on Maverick Meerkat Release Notes where you will also be able to view some other notes about this release.
