I'm sorry that this bug has been ping-ponged around, but everyone's trying to find the right location for this bug. Duplicate does not mean take a hike, it means that we are trying to bring together all the information from different reporters in order to process the 300+ open bugs in gnome-power-manager. Bugs with many duplicates and comments will get more attention than those without, and we'd appreciate it if you could continue working with the bug report if duplicated.
However, you are correct - the bug it is listed as a duplicate deals with resuming from suspend, not suspending itself. Therefore, it should not be a duplicate. Please remember that myself and nearly all developers and bug triagers in Ubuntu are volunteers doing this in their spare time. If you see a mistake, please be courteous. For example, "I do not believe that the bug is a duplicate since it deals with resume from suspend." would have been an effective message to reopen this bug. We should perform the following steps to further debug this problem: 1) Test in Karmic Koala, a liveCD should suffice: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/. This is because gnome-power-manager has gone through significant changes since Jaunty. (HAL has be removed and replaced with devicekit-power, and version 2.24 of GPM is now 2.27.5 in Karmic.) 2) If the bug exists in Karmic, while running Karmic type into the terminal: apport-collect 400097 3) In Karmic, follow debugging instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager, specifically the sections on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager#Getting%20info%20from%20GPM and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager#Getting%20DBUS%20info Since GPM can suspend and resume, this is most likely a linux problem, and am assigning to linux (Ubuntu). Marking as incomplete since we need the above information. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 354269 [Acer Aspire one] suspend/resume failure ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- system won't suspend on lid close https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400097 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
