/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45vmware-stop suspend suspend: /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45vmware-stop: 34: Syntax error: "}" unexpected Returned exit code 2. Mon Apr 27 23:03:21 CEST 2009: Inhibit found, will not perform suspend Which was an empty proc in a script I made to work around a problem where bonjour and vmware would cause a hang on resume. Finally the script got called :-/ I went over to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend with a view to putting in a mention of /var/log/pm-suspend.log, but on second thought that does not seem the right place. ** Changed in: pm-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Suspend & Hibernate fails - Jaunty 9.04, Dell Inspiron 6000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367815 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
