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?
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
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.
