WORKAROUND: This issue doesn't arise if the system uses uswsusp rather than the kernel's method of hibernation. So, the fix is to force gnome-power- management to use s2disk rather than the kernel method. This is fairly simple to do:
Download the attached script "hal-system-power-hibernate-linux" sudo apt-get install uswsusp sudo s2disk ##Test to see if s2disk works. CAUTION: make sure data is saved for this test! sudo mv /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-hibernate-linux /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-hibernate-linux.backup sudo cp hal-system-* /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/ sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/* Now, gnome-power-manager should use s2disk to hibernate fixing my reported issue. Note: I found these instructions from http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/02/11/fixing-software-suspend- hibernate-with-uswsusp-in-ubuntu-feisty-and-edgy/#comment-17671. The only change I made was to modify the script to reflect the location of the s2disk binary in Ubuntu 8.10. ** Attachment added: "hal-system-power-hibernate-linux" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20810875/hal-system-power-hibernate-linux -- Auto-hibernate due to inactivity results in a resumed session with hanged gnome-power-manager preventing the system from entering hibernate again https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
