Description of problem: With KDE 4.3 suspend or hibernate from menu isn't working. The two buttons seems to to nothing. And there is no additional output (/var/log/messages, /var/log/secure, /var/log/pm-suspend, ~/.xsession-errors). "solid-powermanagement suspend to_ram" works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-workspace-4.3.0-5.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: ever Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to suspend or hibernate from menu Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: working suspend/hibernate Additional info: This seems not related to #516824 because selinux runs in permissive mode.
Strange. On a new user account all is working fine. So I've copied over my .kde dir and suspend is failing again. The curiuos thing is that it seems to be a compination of a file (or more) in .kde/share/config and my workaround for dual-head in .kde/env/xrandr.sh: xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1152x864 --left-of VGA-0 If I move .kde/share/config or .kde/env/xrandr.sh out of the way and re-login, suspend is working. But with the entries from my normal user account it is failing.
Interesting, we'd best put this into upstream's hands, bugs.kde.org please.
I'll file a bug upstream later the day. One thing I could reproduce is that suspend/hibernate from menu aren't working if PowerDevil isn't running. (AFAIR I've disabled it in KDE 4.2.x because the affected machine isn't a laptop). I'm not sure why the script in .kde/env stopped the suspend. But after starting PowerDevil on my normal user account the suspend is working there, too. And without a running PowerDevil and the removal of the script it is also working. :-? So some other files may be related to this failure (if PowerDevil isn't running).
I'm fairly certain that kde's suspend feature requires PowerDevil. should be the same as running command line: $ solid-powermanagement suspend to_ram
That's the point: + "solid-powermanagement suspend to_ram" is working all the time. + With PowerDevil enabled suspend is working all the time. + With PowerDevil disabled and some config files from my old .kde/share/config and without .kde/env/xrandr.sh being present suspend is working - With PowerDevil disabled and some config files from my old .kde/share/config and with .kde/env/xrandr.sh being present suspend isn't working - With PowerDevil disabled on a clean user account suspend isn't working But I don't know which config file also trigger the suspend.
I've filed it upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204345
While I agree we should get this fixed, I don't think we should block the KDE 4.3.0 update over this (as it isn't likely to affect all that many users, given that it appears to only happen with PowerDevil disabled) => removing from kde-4.3.0 tracker and closing as UPSTREAM.
Agreed.
