Description of problem: When permission to suspend is denied (which is a separate bug that I'll file), part of the suspend process runs, messing things up pretty badly (disconnecting from the network, and in my case also making the keyboard completely non-functional, which means I have to hard-power-off). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.18.2-4.fc7 hal-0.5.9-8.fc7 hal-info-20070516-2.fc7 pm-utils-0.99.3-6.fc7 How reproducible: Tried once. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to console using Ctrl-Alt-F1 2. Press suspend key on laptop (Fn-F4 on my IBM T42) Actual results: Machine doesn't suspend, but I hear a short horn noise indicating permission denied, and the keyboard stops working, and I get the following in the syslog: Jun 13 04:48:08 ridley gnome-power-manager: (dbaron) Suspending computer because the suspend button has been pressed Jun 13 04:48:09 ridley gnome-power-manager: (dbaron) Permission denied: Not in active session code='32' quark='g-exec-error-quark' Jun 13 04:48:09 ridley gnome-power-manager: (dbaron) Resuming computer Jun 13 04:48:10 ridley NetworkManager: <info> Going to sleep. Jun 13 04:48:10 ridley gnome-power-manager: (dbaron) suspend failed Jun 13 04:48:10 ridley dhclient: DHCPRELEASE on eth1 to 192.168.204.1 port 67 Jun 13 04:48:10 ridley dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable Jun 13 04:48:10 ridley dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address. Expected results: If permission to suspend was denied, machine shouldn't do part of the suspend process.
Yes, this is because we are not using ConsoleKit, and just waiting for the action to be denied by HAL. Could you please file this in gnome bugzilla, and I'll have a go at fixing this at the weekend. Thanks.

Richard, I think we also need to change the gconf defaults for Fedora, at least, such that g-p-m does not poke NM anymore. Can you do this please? Thanks.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
