Gnome shell fails to perform suspend

[Rodrigo Virote Kassick]

Gnome-shell 3.10 sometimes fails to initiate suspend when alt-clicking the power button on the new system menu. Closing the lid also fails to activate suspend.

Executing sudo pm-suspend works correctly.

So far, this only happens after a number of suspend/resume cycles -- the first time after boot that I ask it to suspend, it works.

When I alt-click the power button, session.log accuses the following exception:
Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Ignored exception from dbus method: Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Operation already in progress

Actually, the power button stops working at all -- can't use it to power off the computer either.

Same problem here.
Waiting for resolving this bug.

On the latest 16.04 development release, the suspend function works fine.
