Description simon 2007-11-11 10:51:02 UTC

Description of problem:
Running pm-hibernate runs successfully except it fails to power off the machine
when it's finished writing to disk. It manages to poweroff most of my devices
(loud pop from speakers, HD spins down and fans turn off) but there is still a
blinking cursor on my screen.
Turning the machine back on, resumes as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pm-utils-0.99.4-6.fc8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run pm-hibernate
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Shows blank screen with flashing cursor.
Lots of disk activity.
Loud pop from speakers, then HD, fans spin down/turn off
.... 
Need to manually power off


Expected results:
....
Machine should automatically power off

Using "shutdown" instead of "platform" as the text echo'd into /sys/power/disk
in /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions solves my problem. Perhaps this should be a
configurable item.

Comment 2 Till Maas 2008-01-02 01:48:44 UTC

Can you please paste the output of:
lshal | egrep "(system.hardware.(product|vendor|version)|smbios.bios.version)"

Comment 3 Till Maas 2008-01-08 16:34:57 UTC

Hey Simon, can you please provide the output of
lshal | egrep "(system.hardware.(product|vendor|version)|smbios.bios.version)"

The hal developers decided, that this bug should be fixed within the kernel,
i.e. making the use of platform work, so you do not need to use shutdown. But
for this it is needed, that you describe which notebook you are using.

Comment 4 Till Maas 2008-01-08 18:18:05 UTC

Aditionally it will probably be possible to configure pm-utils to use shutdown
via a config variable.

Comment 5 simon 2008-01-08 20:23:09 UTC

My system is appears to be working with the platform method now. An update must
have resolved this.

The requested details are below if still useful.

  smbios.bios.version = 'A08'  (string)
  system.hardware.product = 'Inspiron 8500'  (string)
  system.hardware.vendor = 'Dell Computer Corporation'  (string)
