first time using Ubuntu after being on other distros for a while. Loving it so far, except for one big issue with suspend to RAM.

I've been digging around for solutions and can't seem to find anything. I've been combing through kernel logs and dmesg logs to find some information, but there isn't much. I did try one test and found the following:

I suspended the laptop by closing the lid (confirmed with the power LED flashing) I resumed the laptop by opening the lid (confirmed with the power LED going to steady) Upon resume, nothing appeared on the screen, not even the backlight After waiting for about ten seconds, including trying keyboard input, I forced shutdown using the power button

I went looking through /var/log/kern.log and found this entry. This seemed to be the last entry made before the laptop suspended; the next entry was the start of the boot sequence:

Oct 26 18:29:53 martin-thinkpad kernel: [ 2443.966967] ahci 0000:00:17.0: port does not support device sleep

Any ideas on where to go next to figure out the root of the problem? Additional device info below:
