2006-02-01 08:06:42 Matthew East gdm: status Unconfirmed Confirmed
2006-02-01 08:06:42 Matthew East gdm: statusexplanation Confirming this: I see it too. Both suspend and hibernate from the gdm menu don't have the required effect. Suspend and hibernate works fine using the function keys on my laptop, the gnome-panel buttons and from gnome-power-manager. Instead, if I try from gdm, it just gives me "authentication failed", as if it has tried to login.

2006-05-04 22:38:58 Tormod Volden description On the GDM, pressing F10 (which pops a menu on the textbox) and then choosing "Suspend" does nothing. I'm using a desktop system which supports S3 standby on windows xp (I was expecting "suspend" to bring the computer to s3.) On the GDM, pressing F10 (which pops a menu on the textbox) and then choosing "Suspend" or "Hibernate" does nothing. I'm using a desktop system which supports S3 standby on windows xp (I was expecting "suspend" to bring the computer to s3.)

2006-05-19 07:11:30 Andrew Jorgensen gdm: statusexplanation Would be nice to look on that before dapper For myself it appears that suspend works but hibernate gives the "authentication failed" message as Matthew East notes. I agree with Jos Dehaes that any exposed feature ought to work. I'm not sure I'd call it a blocker but I do think this is a major bug. The devs are welcome to disagree with me of course. My use case is that I'd like to use hibernate so that it doesn't take so long to boot but if my wife is the next one to use the laptop after me she ought to be presented with a login screen like she's used to. I'd say that the "switch user" functionality would be fine but my laptop doesn't have enough ram to make that really practical. In any case if it can't be fixed it should be disabled before dapper releases.

Thank you for the comment, marking as fixed then, the changelog points it: " - Fix decoding of suspend message in the daemon so the suspend command works."
