"Restart Now" does not reboot but suspends to disk

[Florent]

Binary package hint: update-notifier

If the system was previously sent to hibernation, the behaviour of the "Restart Now" button is wrong.

Here are the steps to reproduce :
 - Suspends the system to disk
 - Resume the system
 - Trigger the notifier popup manually (if you do not have a pending update)

user@jaunty$ sudo /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required
user@jaunty$ sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp

Wait few seconds, then click the notifier icon and button "Restart Now".
The system is suspended to disk instead of reboot.

I experienced similar misbehaviour with the "sleep" feature.

 - send the system to sleep (=suspend to RAM)
 - resume the system
 - trigger the notifier applet and click "Restart Now"

result: the system is suspended to RAM !

notes:
 - system is Xubuntu 9.04
 - I use the xfce4-session-logout applet to "sleep" or "hibernate" the system

I guess this behaviour occurs since version 0.71.2 which intended to fix bug #214446.

I am having this problem on an amd64 system as well.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

I tried to reproduce your steps with Precise, but was unable to. All seemed to work as expected.

It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 347814 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
