Whoops. I meant 'pm-is-supported', I was just being an idiot when I wrote the email. I'm also even more of an idiot and got the exit statuses reversed:
pm-is-supported --suspend && echo "Not Supported" || echo "Supported" pm-utils is the package that has all this stuff: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pm-utils/ On Mon, May 2, 2011 at 9:26 AM, Adam Tauno Williams <awill...@whitemice.org>wrote: > On Sun, 2011-05-01 at 23:40 -0400, Jasper St. Pierre wrote: > > I'm not suggesting the Terminal for everyday usage.

All gnome-shell does is defer this to UPower, and the Linux backend eventually calls pm-utils. Can you try running '/usr/sbin/pm-suspend' and see what happens? It could be a fault of gnome-screensaver's locking stuff. > I've also walked away from the machine and come back, twice, to find a > black screen with nothing but a pointer with even Ctrl-Alt-F1 not > working.
