Description Filip Miletic 2007-02-03 11:52:58 UTC
Description of problem:

Greets.

Since I installed FC6 I have the problem with the suspend-to-disk upon
lid close on an Dell Inspiron 8200.  I used gnome-power-manager to set
up the suspend.

When I close the laptop lid, while in the Gnome session, the only effect
is that the X session is killed and gdm appears.  I would have expected
the computer to suspend to disk.  This worked well on FC5.

For the record, suspend-to-disk works well if I ask for it from the
command line or by pushing the appropriate button in the Gnome user
interface.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always, DC or AC power

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set gnome-power-manager up to suspend to disk on lid close.
2.  Close lid
3.
  
Actual results:
X session killed, gdm shows, no suspend.

Expected results:
Suspend-to-disk should occur.

Additional info:
In FC5 same settings worked.

If you open a command window, and type (as root)

pm-hibernate

What happens?

Comment 2 Filip Miletic 2007-02-05 17:56:23 UTC
Upon pm-hibernate, the system suspends to disk.

As I said, the issue occurs only when closing the lid. If I ask for a
suspend-to-disk via either command line, or by selecting an option to suspend
from Gnome's quit menu, the system suspends well.

FWIW, I get an error message in the console that I used to issue pm-hibernate:

/etc/pm/functions-suspend2: line 4: /etc/sysconfig/pm: No such file or directory


Comment 3 Filip Miletic 2007-02-05 18:26:58 UTC
Ok, I figured out why the last error message.  It's a remnant of a failed
attempt to use suspend2 to solve the lid problem.  (FYI, the problem with
suspend2 from the cubbi repo is that I use proprietary modules which won't work
with cubbi kernel)

I now reinstalled the original pm-utils from FC6 so the error message should be
gone.  But the problem remains, as I only installed suspend2 to get rid of the
lid close issue anyways.
