I agree with the original post.
The current message in Hardy Heron is the same as before;
Your computer failed to suspend.
Check the help file for common
problems.
The message as it stands makes me think that there is a user level log file
called the help file.
I should check this log file for common problems that it will tell me about.
My expectation is that there are complex problems that are not reported in the
help file.
I too when looking for this ubuntu help log file. I searched the internet for
hints. This bug is
the only relevant link I found.
The key to the misunderstanding is the word check. It means verify.
Verify the help file for problems.
All that is required is to fix the wording. Recommended wording;
"Your comupter failed to suspend.
Common solutions may be found by
searching in system, help and support."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pause to check out the help pages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately searching in System.Help and support produces the following;
"3.1.1. Fixing problems with suspending, hibernating and resuming
If your computer cannot suspend, hibernate or resume properly, there may be a
number of things that you can try to
get it working correctly.
* Check the test report for your laptop, if one has been made (see Section
3.4 ― Finding laptop testing reports).
* Ask for assistance through an Ubuntu support channel."
If you follow the "finding laptop testing reports" link you will
discover that it is a circular reference and will bring you back to this
page again. Of the number of things that you can try(2) the first
doesn't work and the second is.... (be polite)
And that is it. So really this message pointed to the help file because there
was nothing else to say.
Given this I'm now thinking that the message should be;
"Sleep Problem
Your computer failed to suspend.
Do not rely on just closing the lid
to save battery power until the
problem has been resolved.
Hibernating using the off switch
will probably work however."
