Suspend not working with Gnome Shell

[MichaelB]

Hi,

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 on my Acer laptop the supend mode not working. When i press "Suspend" in the menu nothing happen. It's worked from Ubuntu 8.04... Not sure if is gnome-shell problem or something else. I tried with Unity and is ok.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same issue here, fresh install , suspend from user menu (top right) doesn't do anything on gnome-shell, suspend works fine on unity though.

Maybe good to mention that I've been using my /home partition back from 11.10, I couldn't dist-upgrade as after I did, system lost dns ability (dnsmasq bug).

System suspends if I do:
$ sudo pm-suspend
or
$ sudo pm-suspend-hybrid

System is also able to suspend if I do (without sudo):

$ dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

Please let me know if you need any specific logs or outputs

After changing the behavior of closing the lid without AC in gnome-tweak-tool, and closing the lid, computer does suspends, after that, suspend option in menu seems to work, I'll do further testing and will update
