My Laptop with a Huge Problem

[Mogeni Elvis]

My laptop doesn't respond after shutting the lid. It's unresponsive yet it
would work perfect in Fc 21. What can be the  problem?

Your message is too general to give an intelligent response.

You seem to have changed from Fedora 21 to something else, is that
Fedora 22 ?

Have you checked the Power Management settings ?
What make and model is your laptop ?
What is your display manager, gnome or kde or something else ?
Is the problem the same when the power is connected and when the laptop
is running on battery ?

There are a few more settings to check in the acpi module.

Check the above first

I have a similar problem, but not just from closing the lid and going
into standby. I have a Thinkpad that's up to date with 64-bit Gnome on
F22. I can most times SSH into the laptop from another system and kill
gnome-shell to get it back. After I do that the system has the same
login pathology:

 1. I see what looks like the gdm screen, and I log in
 2. It shows me the previous session, which is still active, but
 3. It goes to the lock screen and I have to login again
 4. Sometimes #3 happens repeatedly and I have to reboot
