Description of problem: When attempt to hibernate system, rewarded with popup from bottom panel: Request to hibernate [! icon] Software Update Applet has stopped the hibernate from taking place. A transaction that cannot be interrupted is running. Except no update transaction is currently running, and the most recent update concluded successfully with no visible errors. One can use System, Administration, Update System to check for updates, and that returns normally with There are no updates available! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Solidly. Has failed every time in multiple attempts. (Although this system had successfully hibernate multiple times over the past few weeks until today.) Steps to Reproduce: 1. System, Shutdown ..., Hibernate 2. [plus some unknown additional conditions or state ... help me find them] Actual results: Computer does not hibernate. Expected results: I reduce my carbon footprint as the computer hibernates. Additional info: The 2nd line below from /var/log/messages is unusual: Jun 4 06:25:40 localhost kernel: Restarting tasks ... done. Jun 4 06:25:40 localhost restorecond: Read error (Interrupted system call) Jun 4 06:26:07 localhost gnome-power-manager: (ns) Resuming computer [u@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 [u@localhost ~]$
When you get the notification from gnome-power-mananger, can you attach the output of pkmon please. Thanks.

Something is causing pkmon to hang, or at least it does not complete within a few minutes of starting: [u@localhost ~]$ pkmon Tasks: [none]... ^C [u@localhost ~]$ pkmon -v TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-debug.c FN:pk_debug_init,248 - Verbose debugging 1 (on console 1) TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-connection.c FN:pk_connection_connection_changed_cb,129 - emit connection-changed: 1 TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-monitor.c FN:main,218 - connected=1 TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-client.c FN:pk_client_connect,3374 - connect TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-job-list.c FN:pk_job_list_connect,195 - connect TI:07:50:00 TH:0x8409458 FI:pk-monitor.c FN:main,249 - refreshing task list Tasks: [none]...

As /var/log/yum.log shows, this version of packagekit arrived via update a few days ago. After that update, this system successfully hibernated and resumed at least three times before failures began on Jun 04. The failure to hibernate first happened after the update of: bind-libs-... libpng-... bind-utils-...

What is the significance of that?
When Fedora 9 was first installed on this system, I would see a popup from bottom panel: Sleep warning Your laptop will not sleep if you shut the lid as a running program has prevented this. Some laptops can overheat if they do not sleep when the lid is closed. each time Update System or Add/Remove Software was being run. At that time Hibernate / Resume failed with kernel errors, etc. Once updates provided a functioning Hibernate / Resume, I do not remember ever seeing this "Sleep warning" popup message. But I believe I did see that message again once on Jun 04 (but not upon successive times that Update System has been run since). I have never seen a matching bookend message, similar to: Sleep peacefully The running program that would have prevented your laptop from sleeping has finished, and your system configuration has been restored to normal. Is there such a message? Or is the transition that the "Sleep warning" warns of intended to be a one-way transition? (I will find out if rebooting clears this state once you tell me there is no more information you wish to gather while it is in this broken state ... or something else forces a reboot.)
>Is there such a message There is no such message. Can you reboot and see if that fixes things? Thanks.
(In reply to comment #5) > >Is there such a message > > There is no such message. Can you reboot and see if that fixes things? Thanks. Well, after a restart, I have successfully hibernated and resumed this system. Q1: So the: Sleep warning Your laptop will not sleep if you shut the lid as a running program has prevented this. Some laptops can overheat if they do not sleep when the lid is closed. message should be displayed for: A1A: every transaction, or A1B: only some transactions which could leave a broken system if interrupted and replayed later? Q2: Is this warning intended to apply A2A: temporarily only for the duration of the transaction, or A2B: during and lingeringly after the transaction (as the experience reported here)? From the wording of the warning message, etc. I would be willing to assume A1A and A2A. Thanks in advance for clarifying.
Okay, cool. Thanks, I hope things are better now.
