Fixed In Version: pm-utils-1.2.5-11.el6 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, pm-utils did not support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interfaces (ACPI) S1 (Power on Suspend) power state. As a consequence, when BIOS supported the ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) power state but not the S1 power state, the "pm-suspend" command failed. This update introduces support for the S1 power state, and if the S3 power state is not supported by BIOS, pm-suspend now triggers the S1 power state.

Description Eduardo Minguez 2013-10-30 18:05:31 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to suspend by running "pm-suspend" to S1 acpi state (standby) doesn't work

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pm-utils-1.2.5-10

How reproducible:
Configure the BIOS for suspend only to S1 state and run pm-suspend

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure BIOS settings to allow acpi suspension only to S1 state
2. Execute pm-suspend

Actual results:
pm-suspend exits (code error 0) but the computer is not suspended

Expected results:
pm-suspend works by changing the acpi state to S1

Additional info:
I've seen in /usr/lib/pm-utils/pm-functions that changing the following works:

    # diff pm-functions pm-functions.old 
    257c257
    < 	if grep -q standby /sys/power/state; then
    ---
    > 	if grep -q mem /sys/power/state; then
    259c259
    < 		do_suspend() { echo -n "standby" >/sys/power/state; }
    ---
    > 		do_suspend() { echo -n "mem" >/sys/power/state; }

Sorry for the ugly workaround!
