I guess this is a KDE4 issue for me - fixed it by installing kpowersave. The process gets as far as acpid running 'fake_acpi 142', which opens /dev/input/event1 and writes some data to it. Somewhere the event is being silently dropped between Xorg and KDE4.
With kpowersave running, I can suspend, resume, suspend repeatedly. The ibm_acpi module no longer reports only one keypress (I expect it has some code waiting for resume, since in normal use it shouldn't see two suspends in a row without an intermediate resume). If this bug is specific to Gnome I'll follow up to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/281284 When X isn't running the suspend event gets dropped by hald (addon- acpi.c :195: event is ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004). I'm not even sure if the suspend button is supposed to work from the console. -- Hotkeys no longer working in Intrepid on Thinkpads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
