After installing a clean xubuntu 12.04 I noticed that when I suspend, the computer suspends and turns itself off (you see the lights go off, and a click sound from the HD or fans), but then about 2 seconds later it turns itself back on again...

The odd thing is that:

  • It doesn't happen when booting from the liveCD
  • I created another user account. When I log onto this account I can suspend fine. The computer stays off until I press the ON button
  • When I remove my .config folder and it's clean - I can also suspend without problem on my account

So it seems that something in my user config is causing this, but I can't work out what it might be. I tried diffing the two .config folders, and also all processes running with one account compared to the other (ps -ef |grep <username>), but couldn't find anything obvious that might be causing this...
