Hardware info

what does not work? suspend to disk or suspend to RAM?
What does "does not work" mean? Please be more specific.

I think Both suspend to ram and suspend to disk doesnt work. I'm not 100% sure
as i dont have much knowledge of what i am doing. Im just an user so im not
supposed to know the difference of suspend to ram or disk, that's why i attached
the log files.. but i will try to be more specific:

The bug is reproduced by going on the gnome panel and clicking logout and then
selecting "Suspend the computer". Tre process is started, gnome logs out, a
blank screen is shown with a progress bar, then some messages are displayed with
one message saying the hardware doesn't support it. I know the hardware should
be able to sleep/hibernate/suspend because: 1 - It's a laptop and 2 - It works
on windows.

I've tried to change some options on yast2, i tried both with "suspend to disk"
and "suspend to ram" and the behaviour and messages are the same on both.

That's it, i hope it helps.. Any information you need i will provide ASAP.

Thanks

At least you should know how you started suspend :) 
Did you select it from the kpowersave-menu or by pressing the powerbutton or 
some other function key on you laptop? 

I use GNOME, so i selected it from the gnome logout menu.
Gnome Panel -> Desktop -> Logout, select "Suspend the computer" and press OK.

Ok. That should be a suspend to disk. 
Can you please open a shell and try the command 
"powersave -U" 
(without the ")? 
The question is if it is suspending and resuming with that command. 
 
Seife, Holger: Do you know what command the GNOME-logout executes? 

I'm checking this currently.

Logout dialog from gnome uses powersave --suspend-to-disk.

Please check what happens if you execute this command in a console.

sayao@3(NXDOMAIN):~> dmesg | egrep power
acpi_bus-0212 [01] acpi_bus_set_power    : Device is not power manageable
acpi_bus-0212 [01] acpi_bus_set_power    : Device is not power manageable
ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2])
acpi_bus-0212 [01] acpi_bus_set_power    : Device is not power manageable
powernow: This module only works with AMD K7 CPUs
acpi_bus-0212 [30] acpi_bus_set_power    : Device is not power manageable

I get this messages at boot time, maybe my hardware is not supported. I recently
installed a fresh copy of windows to test, withou the manufacturer CD (read
without the drivers) and it did not work too. Maybe this hardware uses software
suspend or something?

these messages are probably unrelated to this problem, i see them on my machines
and suspend / resume works fine on most of them.

You should try it again from a terminal (not logout dialog) with 
"powersave --suspend-to-disk" and report what happens there.

Hapens the same thing when i click from the gnome menu:
X is stopped
i get a console window of a progress bar stopping the processes
some devide is not power manageable messages
my laptop Zzz led keeps blinking
nothing happens.. the laptop is left on and the system is not suspended

Please do the following in a console:

cd /tmp
/usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/powersave_logs

and attach the resulting file /tmp/powersave_logs.tar.gz to this bugreport. Thanks.

Did you already try with RC1?

I'm currently using RC1. 
The powersave logs are already attached, but the attached one is from Beta4 (iirc).
I will attach a new one once i get home.

No need for new logs. I simply forgot that the logfiles were already attached.
Sorry.

I can see nothing suspicious in the logs.

One thing you can try is setting the variable SUSPEND2DISK_SHUTDOWN_MODE="" in
file /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep.

First try
SUSPEND2DISK_SHUTDOWN_MODE="shutdown"

and if this does not work try setting
SUSPEND2DISK_SHUTDOWN_MODE="reboot"

and tell us if the behaviour changes.

Suspend menu item runs powersave --suspend-to-ram, IIRC. And that is disabled by
default in all installations. Is that the case for you? Run 'powersave
--suspend-to-ram' on a terminal and see what happens.

What works great is --suspend-to-disk, which is associated to the Hibernate menu
item, which doesn't show up though

Both modes "shutdown" and "reboot" gave me the same behaviour as with no option set.

I've also tried --suspend-to-ram, and the suspend process works fine as it works
on windows. But when i press the power button to "come back" from suspend, the
screen is kept blank and nothing happens. I can see that the Zzz led is on when
i execute the command and is turned off when i press the power button to come
back from suspend, but the screen is still blank.

yes, --suspend-to-ram is known to be broken in some systems, that's why it is
disabled by default. Did you enable it yourself?

Yes, i did. And it seems to work better for me than --suspend-to-disk, as it at
last  suspends sucessfully, it just doesn't come back :)

Some time has elapsed... possibly you tried with an Alpha snapshot?

You can also try to boot with init=/bin/bash as boot parameter and then do...

swapon -a
mount /sys
echo disk > /sys/power/state

Does this work then?

Can you try this, please? If not, I will close the bug as INVALID soon.

Closing as INVALID.
