Solution 1

You're possibly seeing this bug: Black screen after login from suspend in Xubuntu 14.04. Try removing light-locker and light-locker-settings and installing xscreensaver to solve the issue of buggy suspend/resume.

Solution 2

I have this problem after I used a different kernel version yesterday. Although I still don't know why it occurs, the following way may help you fix the problem.

To debug this problem is to run pm-suspend from terminal and check if there's something wrong by analyzing /var/log/pm-suspend.log.

For my case, a program which exit abnormal stopped the suspending. After I removed it, the suspend works again.

Running hook /etc/pm/sleep.d/soxy suspend suspend: 
Stopping Soxy proxy on port 7070       
No running Soxy process found
/etc/pm/sleep.d/soxy suspend suspend: Returned exit code 1.

Thu Sep 10 21:39:11 CST 2015: Running hooks for resume

I am not able to put my laptop to suspend(sleep) mode,If I click on suspend it just locks the screen and nothing happens ?

I updated my previous version of UBUNTU from 13.04 to 13.10 then to 14.04

Any Idea why this is happening or any work around to fix the issue ?

I am using DELL VOSTRO 3400 with 64 bit OS

  Hello, and welcome to AskUbuntu ;) Well, could you try to open up your terminal ctrl+alt+t and use this command, to see if it works: sudo pm-suspend

  I tried the script on 14.04 on a VAIO pro 13 flip . I finally get a resume instead of a black screen but I lost my mouse and my pad so it is useless. any ideas?

  Ctrl + Alt + F2 goes to console, then Ctrl + Alt + F7 back to UI, then try suspend. cred

OK, then you're likely seeing something else.

@ChristopheDeTroyer If you're seeing a specific issue, please ask a separate question describing the symptoms.

No, I'm having exactly the same issue as described in the bug report :)

@ChristopheDeTroyer The original question is not that very clear, actually. It doesn't state the DE used, the power manager, the locker nor the screensaver..
