Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.14.3-3+b1
Severity: normal

An explanation on the hal policy implemented is necessary. In my case
I always got the "Failed to suspend" message with the Faq link, which
is completely unable to explain the failure.

In this case it was an hal policy problem (shortly mentioned in the
README). 

The discussion here:
http://www.nabble.com/suspend-not-working-t2544954.html

helped to resolve the problem.

The policy setted for the
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement is repeated in
various files (/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf,gnome-power-manager} and
it's not clear which is the actual policy used by
hald/gnome-power-manager (since it's not clear which is the order
they're read).

A pointer to the scripts in
/usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-* would be very nice, as
well as a short explanation regarding the difference meant between
hibernation (suspension to disk) and suspension (suspension to ram).

It's not either clear why there are two different directories (
/usr/lib/hal/scripts/ and /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux) with apparently
identical scripts (but it seems, at least in my case, that the first
directory has priority).

Kind regards and thanks for the nice work.
