Public bug reported: I am running Dapper on a IBM Thinkpad T42.
When I first installed Dapper, both suspend and hibernate worked perfectly every time. I could invoke them from the tray icon, or from the lid being closed. I was very happy. Then, there was a kernel upgrade (2.6.15-25-686) which caused the machine to never boot. So I dropped back to the 2.6.15-23-686 kernel by changing my /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Suspend and hibernate worked fine for a week or so. Then there was a pcmcia-cs update, and now suspend and hibernate are broken. When I do a suspend, I get a small dialog bubble which says: Suspend Problem Your computer failed to suspend. Check the FAQ page for common problems. The FAQ page is a link to http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power- manager/faq.html which provides no help whatsoever. When I do a hibernate, I get a small dialog bubble which says: Hibernate Problem HAL failed to hibernate. Check the FAQ page for common problems. The FAQ page is the same non-helpful link to the GNOME Power manager. I see entries in /var/log/syslog indicating that "gnome-power-manager: Suspending computer because user clicked suspend from tray menu" I do not get any useful messages in /var/log/acpid. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Suspend and hibernate used to work - now broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/50823 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
