Wow, that means that my laptop, that suspended fine for years, wouldn't resume if I used Ubuntu? I think that one thing that has to be taken into account is that the lenny release is close. When did Ubuntu switch to pm-utils? For hardy, or after the hardy release? If they did the move after hardy, it might be better to stay with hardy's behaviour for lenny. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
