Buttons for suspend/hibernate not working in GNOME
Last modified: 2011-10-20 18:45:53 UTC
System after update 11.1 => 11.2 RC1, GNOME desktop Hardware buttons on ThinkPad T42 for suspend (Fn+F4) or hibernate (Fn+F12) do not work. Simply nothing happens, no logs are modified. Running 'pm-suspend' or 'pm-hibernate' only works for root, not for ordinary users. 'gnome-power-manager' does not offer buttons for suspend/resume any more. (But this may be intentional, not a bug). Maybe relevant: Bug 492825.
I suspect it to be another dup of bug 547565 g-p-m indeed does no longer offer them by default. A discussion is ongoing if this should be reverted.
Radomir, in order to confirm that we're just seeing a dup, can you please update the package "gnome-settings-daemon" from the GNOME:Factory repository? http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/ The changelog should contan the entry: * Thu Oct 22 2009 mxwu@novell.com - Update spec file to add the missing BuildRequire of libcanberra-devel. Fix bnc#547565.
I had this problem on openSUSE 11.2 RC2 x64 installed and patched on 01/11/2009 I updated the package gnome-settings-daemon to version 2.28-0.48.1 from factory Rebooted, but problem still remains as reported by Radomir. Doesn't look like its a dup of bug 547565
Richard, did you try an update 11.1 -> 11.2 RC2 or a fresh installation of 11.2 RC2? I have installed a fresh 11.2 RC2 on i686 and everything works well.
Both 11.2 -> 11.2 RC2 Upgrade and fresh installs, repeatedly, GNOME and KDE, all x86-64 though. I have noticed that in Gnome, if I set FN+F1 (my laptops suspend key) to 'Suspend' in Control Center>Keyboard Shortcuts,then when I press FN+F1, my screen turns off, but the laptop does not suspend openSUSE 11.2 RC2 is behaving as intended when the screen closes (it honours whatever is set in gnome-power-manager) - the problem is just with the laptops keyboard suspend key not suspending.
Created attachment 326555 [details] pm-suspend.log
I notice same problem in opensuse 11.2 final
I still had this problem in the final release for several days, too. Then yesterday I found it was working. The only change I can think of that might be related was enabling the desktop effects. There haven't been any gnome updates. My hardware clock was a few hours off, and I corrected that. Could that be connected?
Can people try the gnome-power-manager package from GNOME:STABLE:2.28 in the build service and sees if it fixes the issue?
Hibernate (Fn+F12) doesn't work on my Thinkpad R61i even after upgrading from GNOME:STABLE:2.28. However, suspend to ram (Fn+F3) works with no issues.
Can people seeing this issue attach a gnome-power-manager log, as described in http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Submitting_Bugs#GNOME_Power_Manager ?
I try, the process is kill by the first line The second line never stop but create the log, this one is empty. Impossible to attach it.
After running the gnome-power-manager as requested, pressing "Fn+F12" produces a single line of output. However the computer is not suspended... The content of the logfile: =========================== libnotify-Message: GetCapabilities call failed: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
(In reply to comment #13) > libnotify-Message: GetCapabilities call failed: The name > org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files This service should be provided by notification-daemon. Can you check if you have that installed? (rpm -q notification-daemon)
Yes, I do: $ rpm -q notification-daemon notification-daemon-0.4.0-4.3.i586
This issue appears to be resolved in openSUSE 11.3, at least on my Dell XPS M1330. Most pleased.
Closing this bug as it appears to be fixed across the board and has been for some time
