This bug may be fixed now. I'm using today's up-to-date patched version of Dapper. (Kernel version: "Linux peace 2.6.15-26-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 7 19:48:22 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux")
When I closed the laptop lid, I got suspend-to-RAM just as I'd hoped. Opening the laptop resumed from RAM in the ideal fashion as well. So presently I'm experiencing none of the symptoms from the bug report. -- HP dv4000 laptop: no suspend/hibernate on lid close https://launchpad.net/bugs/48471 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
