Suspend/Hibernate fails / not available in Maverick Beta

[salubrium]

After upgrade from Lucid Lynx, I can no longer suspend my Dell Vostro 1500. The problem has never appeared in Jaunty, Karmic or Lucid. The options for suspend are no longer available from Shutdown Menu or in System->Preferences->Power Management.

Closing the lid on my laptop results in a popup message: Failed to Suspend. Computer Failed to Suspend. Failure was reported as: Failed to Suspend.

There are no ACPI settings in the BIOS that I am able to configure / change and as stated above, I could always suspend in Karmic -> Lucid. I tried reverting to an earlier kernel to test but couldn't bring up gnome due to video drivers (Nvidia). No daily updates over the past 4 days have resolved the issue and couldn't find anyone else experiencing the issue.

Hi Leo..

The problem didn't resolve once stable 10.10 came out. It was only resolved by installing pm-utils. I had posted a quick review of my beta experience on reddit and another user reported the same issue and installing pm-utils also fixed his problem. Not sure if pm-utils was previously installed and was somehow removed during upgrade or whether it wasn't previously required and is now required

Hello,

In Ubuntu, "pm-utils is responsible for getting the system into a state where it can be suspended or hibernated, and handling any cleanup after resume." So it definitely has to be installed on your system for suspend/hibernate to work. I have it installed on my machine, that first was a Maverick beta and then was upgraded to the final release.

So the problem sounds like a bad installation on your machine. Perhaps something went wrong during the installation/upgrade, or the media you used had defects.

I'll mark this issue as invalid, because It seems not possible for you to perform the installation again and get to the same state. So this problem is not going to be reproducible and the developers are not going to be able to get the information they required to fix it.

However, if you or someone else manage to install the system again and it doesn't have pm-utils, it will be really useful for us if you reopen the bug and add any information you might find useful.

Thanks again for reporting your problem.
