Suspend to disk/ram no longer an option in KDE3 after upgrade to 11.0
Last modified: 2008-07-28 19:30:06 UTC
I am using KDE 3 in openSUSE 11.0, and suspend to disk/ram does no longer appear in the shutdown dialog of KDE 3. It worked perfectly in 10.3 before the upgrade. Calling pm-suspend from the command line as root seems to work.
I can confirm this, though when I want to suspend I always do it by right-clicking on the kpowersave systray icon which works. Ulrich, anyway you can suspend with user permissions by running 'powersave -U' (disk), 'powersave -u' (ram), or 'powersave -m' (standby)
The two methods you describe (kpowersave systray icon and command line) work here, so this is no longer a serious problem for me.
lshal | grep power_man please

I'm also noticing this issue. Additional information from my site: - The menu entry was present in openSUSE-10.3, and openSUSE-10.2 on my machine. - "powersave -U" works fine. - "cat /sys/power/state" shows "mem disk". - kpowersave applet has options "Suspend to Disk" and "Suspend to RAM" - YaST PowerSave module is no longer avail in distribution to change anything via it. - It doesn't matter if using KDE-Menu or Logout Applet: the entry is missing in any case. - "lshal | grep power_man" power_management.acpi.linux.version = '20070126' (string) power_management.can_hibernate = true (bool) power_management.can_standby = false (bool) power_management.can_suspend = true (bool) power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false (bool) power_management.is_powersave_set = false (bool) power_management.quirk.no_fb = true (bool) power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore = true (bool) power_management.type = 'acpi' (string)

I have the same issue... suspend option simply is not present in KDE3. But if you login as root the suspend option is there. Confirmed on two systems one is x86_64 and the other i686. Why can't this be a simple patch for 11.0?
it is a simple patch, and the patch is submitted. please also do not reopen bugreports that are marked as duplicate of another unless you think it is not really a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 290917 ***
If this is a simple patch why can't it be applied against 11.0?
All the 11.0 installs I have done irregardless of architecture exhibit this problem. It is unacceptable for suspend not to work (well it does work if you login as root but giving out root passwords is not a viable workaround). The environmental impact is atrocious.
