Inspiron 1545 does not suspend

[Phil-ganchev]

When I boot the laptop and close the lid, the laptop does not suspend. When I run gnome-power-preferences the first time, it lacks the "On Battery Power" tab, only "On AC Power" and "General". But then when I close the lid, the laptop suspends as set in the preferences; running gnome-power-preferences again it shows all three tabs. If I restart, it again does not suspend, until I run gnome-power-preferences.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

I am working to back up my data before upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. After I upgrade, I will test and report back.

[Phil-ganchev (phil-ganchev)]

Yes, the bug persists with 11.04.

[Phil-ganchev (phil-ganchev)]

Yes, the bug persists in 11.04 (Natty Narwhal).
