OK, I've investigated and I was wrong about the version; 2.22.1-1ubuntu4.1 looks like it does have the fix (I'm on hardy).
I've looked at /var/log/kern.log and it seems bizarrely as though some of the suspend code ran after the resume (although I could see that the machine had a flashing light and was clearly suspended overnight) - I'll attach the relevant section here, as well as that from /var/log/messages (where you can see the gnome-power-manager messages) ** Attachment added: "/var/log/messages from the time of the suspend till resume is completed (this reported failure)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17716861/messages-relevant -- Suspends that are longer than 6 hours will inexplicably claim to fail, but not really fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242713 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
