Comment 52 for bug 1768230

I tried today Aug 5, 2018 to upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04. I have been using 16.04 in this machine for the last 10 months without any issues. Installed from LiveCD. I did the upgrade not the LiveCD. It went through the entire upgrade/installation without any issues. It finished and asked to reboot. After it rebooted and after the Dell logo the screen went blank and I could see text popping up on the top left corner of the display, disappearing, popping up again. This repeats every 2-3 seconds. The message is
"Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device
/dev/sda2/: clean, 213855/14712832 files, 3013745/58847488 blocks". This message keeps appearing continuously. Did not wait 30 seconds to see if it rebooted (my fault for not being patient). I tried the 16.04 LiveCD to try to fix. Changed the conf.d resume to RESUME=none as suggested by someone, did not work. So had to do a clean re-install of 16.04 again.
My machine is a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series with Intel Core i5 8th Gen.
