Public bug reported: Hal does not recognize automatically that my system is capable of suspend to ram - I had to add it manually this way:
I created a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/acpi.fdi with the following code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="power_management.can_suspend_to_ram" bool="false"> <merge key="power_management.can_suspend_to_ram" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Hardware: Asus A7V333, Athlon XP1800+, Nvidia GeForce4Ti 4200, 512MB DDR-Ram (Samsung). ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Does not recocnize standby capability https://launchpad.net/bugs/50021 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
