In fact, I had installed hibernate; gnome power manager calls this command to do the suspend. It turned out that I had had a typo in my hibernate.conf file (I had added something to try to help with a network problem after suspending), so when gnome power manager called hibernate, it effectively died with a syntax error, without logging this anywhere that I can see. When I learned that it's hibernate that g-p-m is calling, I called it from the command line, saw the error, and fixed the problem, and now I'm back with a working suspend. Thanks, and thanks to the linux-thinkpad list, which pointed me in the right direction. Jesse Sheidlower -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
