Bug Description
I am running an updated Ubuntu 7.10 on my Toshiba Portege R500 11-B. I am running logged on as the user "ketil", which is the standard initial user on my Ubuntu system.
When I close my laptop's lid, it tries to suspend. It seems to manage at first, and goes silent and switches off all indicator lights, but it immediately resumes again. Then I get a popup from the power icon saying:
Sleep Problem
Your computer failed to suspend.
Check the help file for common problems.
as I was trying to reproduce this, I've also gotten the following popup from the power icon. I'm not sure I got it copied correctly word for word. It seems to show up if I open the lid just after the computer starts resuming when suspend fails.
Action forbidden
Policy timeout is not valid. Please wait a few seconds and try again.
My /var/log/messages says:
....
Dec 15 14:34:35 ketil-laptop kernel: [ 8219.596000] sr 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 5
Dec 15 14:34:41 ketil-laptop gnome-power-
Dec 15 14:34:41 ketil-laptop gnome-power-
So it takes around 6 seconds from suspend is done until it has decided that suspend failed.
I get the message "Policy timeout is not valid. Please wait a few seconds and try again" once in a while, too.
I'm running Gutsy on a Thinkpad T43p. Most of the time, suspend works fine. But about 5% of the time, it doesn't do anything and the power manager shows that message.
I don't see any errors in /var/log/messages, though. Here is what I get during the failed suspend:

(Btw, why does it unload and load ath_pci? I don't have an Atheros wireless card here.)
