[Gutsy] suspend and hibernate don't work with kernel 2.6.22-8.18

[Matthew Nuzum]

In Edgy, suspend would work once before rebooting, hibernate would work as often as I needed it. In Feisty this stopped working... instead, I'd get a somewhat blank screen and the ability to switch virtual consoles with Alt+Fx but otherwise no keyboard or power button activity worked (except holding the power button down for 10 seconds to turn the system off).

In Gutsy, when I try to suspend or hibernate absolutely *nothing* happens.

Also, see Bug #127617 which I reported and may nor may not be related.

What information can I give to help get this working again?

This could be a knock-on effect of other problems with Gutsy. Your other report ought to be solved first since if Gnome config is broken it is likely gnome-power-manager isn't operating correctly.

[Matthew Nuzum (newz)]

OK. When its time, here are my details:

 * Yes, bios is fully updated. Did so right before the Gutsy install
 * uname -a:
Linux matts-laptop 2.6.22-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Jul 12 15:59:45 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

 * lspci -vv, lspci -vvn and dmidecode are attached

OK, the gnome power manager problem is now fixed. I can now *Hibernate* just fine (although I see a glimpse of USB errors before the screen goes dark). However, suspend doesn't seem to do anything at all. I click the button and nothing happens.

[Matthew Nuzum (newz)]

I'm wrong. Suspend just started working. I tried it twice in a row and all seems well now. I'll reboot a few times and try beating it up a bit, but if it stays as it is now, this will be the best functionality I've experienced with power management yet. :-]

[Matthew Nuzum (newz)]

OK, an update (unknown) fixed gnome-power-manager which fixed these problems.
