Description Carlos Robinson 2008-10-30 23:08:16 UTC 
According to Holger Macht ...@suse.de, it should only autosuspend to memory. Mine autohibernates to disk instead.
Comment 1 Carlos Robinson 2008-11-04 01:44:18 UTC 
Ideas.

 - A small message pops up at the bottom-right corner says that sleep failed or something similar. 

  I tried to make a snapshot of the screen, but printscreen didn't make it,
  took some other app instead. In 11.0 print screen copies the entire screen, 
  and alt-print takes only the current window; but in factory it takes always
  the current window (has this been reported already?)

  The message then went away, and I have no snapshot, so I can't report what it said.

However, sleep had succeed; I guess that it tried to suspend, failed, then hibernated instead. As there are no logs of what gnome does, I can't report more.


 - Possibly my motherboard is known to not be able to suspend, so it hibernate instead.

In any case, this is incorrect, hibernate can kill connected and powered services, it is more dangerous on automatic that suspend.

Please solve.

FWIW, it's not the case for me.

Holger, I'm assigning this to you since this is something you've looked at, I believe.

Yes, gnome-power-manager falls back to hibernate if suspend did) not work. I'll create a patch...

Maybe you could verify that the packages from are http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hmacht/openSUSE_Factory/ fixed?

Sorry, I can't currently test that - my factory partition is now fixed on 11.1 and waiting to test Bug 448007. When 11.1 solves that problem and becomes stable, then I'll upgrade my main 11.0 to 11.1, and my factory partition will become factory again.

Perhaps another person can?

Ok, I've created a submit request for this issue: 
osc sr show 5224

I really like someone from the gnome team to review the patch for not getting something wrong, so reassigning.
