PC does not suspend, needs restart if suspend is forced

[Vinux]

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

The suspend functionality does not work on the PC (DELL inspiron 531) this used to work in the Jaunty release. However after update to Karmic the PC does not suspend, on forcing suspend or when the system is left idle for the configured suspend timeout the montior goes blank and the system does not respond anymore to any keyboard or mouse events. A restart is required to bring the PC back.

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

Expectation: PC should suspend after idle time and resume when detecting keyboard or mouse event even when running on AC

What's happenning : The PC does not respond any more and a restart is required.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Gnome Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

I believe the problem was solved in Lucid Lynx when a fresh installation was done (not upgrade from older version).
Thanks to Ubuntu for solving the problem.
