Here's an idea .. maybe some of the old acpi-support suspend is still active. I just tried adding a logger line to /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux to print out the $QUIRKS: # We only support pm-utils if [ -x "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend" ] ; then logger "pm-suspend quirks are $QUIRKS" /usr/sbin/pm-suspend $QUIRKS RET=$? Since kde-power-manager won't work and my usb keyboard sleep button doesn't work, I tried the Fn-Esc key combo on the laptop, which is the suspend key combo. The laptop suspended and resumed fine. Now, when I look at /var/log/messages, there is no line from the logger that I inserted above. Also, when I look at /var/log/pm-suspend.log, it never changed from the previous suspend. So, it appears something else is functioning to suspend, other than pm-utils via hal. I did an upgrade from gutsy. Maybe my system still has something installed that it shouldn't. If you want, I could probably do a fresh install from hardy alpha 3 .. let me know if you think it's necessary. regards, -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
