[GUTSY KDE4] Suspend and hibernate don't work

[Luis Alberto Pabón]

Suspend and hibernate work flawlessly on Gutsy's KDE3. They don't work under KDE4. I do have the option on the logout screen (depress "Turn off computer" and you have two more options there: suspend to disk and suspend to ram).

Fully updated KDE4 from launchpad repositories.

Fully updated Kubuntu Gutsy.

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

There are at least two people reporting this issue to kubuntuforums.net (http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3090709.0):

Clicking the red logout icon on KDE4's menu bar (I moved the plasma widget there by dragging it out of the 'add widget' dialog), I get the 'turn of computer' entry and hold the left button down on it, then choose 'hibernate'.
Nothing appears to happen.

All is well in KDE3 and in KDE4 I can press alt-f2 and run "kdesu /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh" (or sudo the same from a KDE4 Konsole) and it works as expected.

[Stephen Seplowitz (sep1318)]

I have the same problem. Suspend/Hibernate don't work under kde4.

[James (james-ellis-gmail)]

Same here, fully updated 4.01. Turn off has a little down arrow, which on mousedown gives the two options - neither do anything when pressed.

Hibernated and slept ok during adding this comment by using the scripts in /etc/acpi/

Probably a KDE bug ?

[Valentin Longchamp (longfield)]

I am experiencing exactly the same problem here with Gutsy. Hibernate works under KDE3 (configured thanks to guidance-power-manager). Under KDE4, it does not work automatically, however when I make a "echo mem > /sys/power/state", it works perfectly fine.

I am also unable to configure the processor frequency. All these kind of things are handled under KDE3 by guidance-power-manager and I think it does not behave well with KDE4. How could I produce a log of this tool ? Is it planned to have a new version of this tool for Hardy that is better integrated with KDE4 (maybe in the Battery Monitor Plasmoid ?)

These annoyances are showstoppers for me to use KDE4 on my laptop, although I would love to. I would love to be able to do so for Hardy ...

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Power settings for KDE 4 are not complete yet so that is part of the reason we are all experiencing these issues. I will attempt to locate an upstream report about this issue so we can follow it from within this report. Thanks!

[Luis Alberto Pabón (copong)]

Fair enough, thanks Richard :)

[Massa (brmassa)]

its not working on Hardy KDE4 beta either.

However, doing the following commands thru konsole works
"pmi action suspend" for suspend to RAM
"pmi action hibernate" for suspend to disk

[Luis Alberto Pabón (copong)]

Aye.

Did Richard report this upstream ?
If so, what was the bug number ?
This seems a serious problem for laptop users of KDE4...

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

Cheers Jeroen, voted for there too.

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

This has been reported as fixed upstream.
I don't know what the plans are for KDE4.1 and 8.04, so don't know if the change can/will back port to current, wait for 4.1 to land and then offer that, or if we'll have to wait for 8.10.

Anyone ?

[Aldoo (aldo-public)]

It seems the fix has been propagated to the 4.0 branch in 4.0.4.
Now suspend works on my computer under KDE4 and hibernate also, although it does not resume from hibernation.... (btw, what is the command KDE uses for going into hibernation so I can tweak it and replace it with s2 which actually works ?).

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Marking as fix released.
Thank you Aldoo.

[Michael Truscott (mltruscott)]

Has this filtered through to the repos as my laptop doesn't appear to want to
do either of these (inspite of doing so briefly throught testing...)

Does it work for anyone - do I need to do anything to make it work?

Thanks.

WFM, sorry.
Have you tried 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' from the command line ?
My version of kdebase-bin-kde4 is 4:4.0.4-0ubuntu1~hardy3

I have and it is that version - perhaps its to do with key mapping.

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

Michael: Key mapping ? This is on the popup that appears when you press ctrl-alt-del which is the same as for choosing logout from the menu or panel.

Well, all that does is log me out - there are no options presented for
suspend/hibernation. Should there be?

[Tom Chiverton (bugs-launchpad-net-falkensweb)]

I believe so, if your machine/kernel supports it.
You are loging into KDE4, right, not KDE (silly question, I know...) from the login screen ?

[Michael Truscott (mltruscott)]

Yes I am, my kernel supports it as I happily suspend in gnome and KDE.

Any ideas anyone?

[Michael Truscott (mltruscott)]

I've had another go and it seems to be a hotkey problem - these don't work
(for example the laptop lid) but putting the command does, flawlessly.

Anyone else with a thinkpad and the same problem?

[Andy Walker (number-man-2000)]

I've got a Lenovo X61s with the same problem...hotkeys don't work, but it's OK from the command line...

I'm not sure where the problem lies...but I can only assume it's a KDE4 thing, since it works in KDE3. I'll be happy to help if I can.

[Luis Alberto Pabón (copong)]

It is working fine on Hardy + KDE4.1b2 for me

[Michael Truscott (mltruscott)]

Luis,

are the keys working and if so what laptop are you using.

Andy (and anyone else),

is there anything we can do to help with this as at the moment it is very annoying from a useability point of view (I want to be able to just close the lid...)

[Luis Alberto Pabón (copong)]

Sorry, they suspend etc keys are FN keys and not working for this laptop.

But invoking suspend&hibernation from the menu still work fine (KDE4.1b2
Hardy).

[Andy Walker (number-man-2000)]

Michael,

I've reverted to KDE 3.X. I think I'll wait until 4.X non-beta becomes more usable for me.

Andy
