Problems with resume from suspend to RAM on Thinkpad Z61m

[laksdjfaasdf]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Description:

In Gnome power manage I have enabled the option that it shall go to suspend to RAM after an idle time of 30 minutes. After powering up my laptop again I typed my password to return to my running Gnome session. But then there appeard a message from Gnome Power Mangager that there were problems when (resuming) to/from suspend - can't remember it exactly because suddenly my laptop suspended to disk... After powering on my laptop again my Gnome restored Gnome session was there.

In attached /var/log/messages it happended at the following time:

...
Jul 28 00:44:28 localhost kernel: [36911.128000] SMP alternatives: switching to UP code
Jul 28 07:37:30 localhost kernel: [36911.132000] CPU1 is down
..

seems that computer suspends too early before all tasks are done!?

How to reproduce:
1. Enable option in gnome-power-manager to suspend to RAM after an idle time
2. Wait that time
3. After computer is suspended power it on again.

Does this always happen?
Only sometimes. If I suspend to RAM manually that does not happen.

OK, same thing on Gutsy alpha + current updates.

It must be a problem with autosuspend function with Gnome Power Manager. If I suspend to RAM manually with right click on systray icon, it works.

I'll attach a cleaned up /var/log/syslog - autosuspend part starts at "Sep 25 21:27:43".

I have the exact same problem

I'm using an Acer 5570 laptop. Core Duo T2450, Intel graphics.

Everything works fine when I manually initiate suspend, but suspend when the system is idle results in "suspend failed" dialog and immediate hibernation upon resume.

@flar:

Because of the bug of Gnome Power Manager and other bugs which the Gnome panel has (like moving objects on the panel - it's like in a disco ;), I switched to KDE until these things get fixed. There the power manager suspends to RAM and resume works, too. There is still a problem that after about 3 times Suspend to RAM I can't resume any more - that bug is there since 7.04.

But nevertheless I have less problems with suspend and the panel in KDE at the moment and I use the Gnome update tool, system monitor etc. which are better than KDE pendants in my point of view.
