first post/first time asking anything in any forum ever!
The only other existing post about my issue ( Ubuntu 18.04 on HP Stream 14 - Suspend Produces Checksum Error ) doesn't help much. :(
I'm running Xubuntu 18.04.01 LTS on an HP Stream 14 (14-CB108CA). The CMOS battery is practically BRAND NEW.
After disabling Secure Boot, everything works absolutely perfectly with this computer EXCEPT:
If I put the computer to sleep, upon waking it, I'll get a "CMOS checksum error," which'll cause the BIOS to reset immediately (Secure Boot = Enabled is the default value it resets to), which'll cause the BIOS to not detect my boot drive whatsoever, so I need to go to the BIOS and disable Secure Boot again after force shutting the machine down from its error state.
This error only occurs after waking from suspend.
I know there are a lot of known suspend issues, but this is not one of them, I believe... I've been remedying suspend issues on other Linux machines for the past 5 years, but have never seen anything that literally throws a CMOS error and resets your BIOS...!
Thanks in advance! sshaverd
