Hibbernate silently fails due kernel update

[Pobice]

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

Using Karmic I tried to suspend my laptop - screen locks but then nothing happens. Unlock screen - no error messages warnings or anything.

Try again, same happens.

A quick look in pm-suspend.log and found the following:

Initial commandline parameters:
Wed Nov 11 23:39:47 GMT 2009: Running hooks for hibernate.
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/000record hibernate hibernate: kernel update inhibits hibernate (/var/run/do-not-hibernate present)
Returned exit code 1.
Wed Nov 11 23:39:47 GMT 2009: Inhibit found, will not perform hibernate

Shouldn't gnome remove the Hibernate option in such case, or at least inform the user why hibernate failed?

Not sure if this is under the right package - sorry if it should be elsewhere.

If you want me to submit a bug report after I have a hibernation error you'll have to wait till the kernel gets upgraded again :)

My works machine also silently fails to hibernate, and I think its usually due to Kernel updates. I'll have to remember to check next time it happens.

Logged a similar bug ( Bug #521781) against Indicator Applet to stop it calling the hibernate function when /var/run/do-not-hibernate is present

This isn't really a bug in gnome-power-manager, and it is not involved in a manually initiated suspend sequence anyway. This is basically the same as the 2 other requests you opened
