Description of problem: Right-click on the battery applet and select "Suspend Computer..." does not suspend computer... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Battery Charge Monitor 2.8.0 from gnome-applets-2.8.0-5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click on the battery applet and select "Suspend Computer..." 2. 3. Actual results: Error pop-up window, title "Error" and text "The Suspend command '/usr/bin/apm -s was unsuccessful." Expected results: Machine suspends to RAM Additional info: Sony Vaio S2XP. "echo mem > /sys/power/state" works perfectly. Given the explicit mention of ACPI suspend on the RHEL "Features and Benefits" page (http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/rhel/details/features/), I suspected that the use of APM here was just a mistake in the default configuration of the battery applet, requiring a one-line fix. However, I can't find any command equivalent. I'm going to try out the acpitool from Fedora Extras, and will report back if it works. [From the "Features and Benefits" page: "Advanced configuration and power interface: Support for the ACPI standard enables a wide range of power management capabilities (battery monitoring, automated power down, suspend), and provides a foundation for increasingly sophisticated features in the future." !]
