Whenever I try to put my laptop into either suspend or hibernate mode (i.e., close the lid when not plugged in) the laptop _seems_ to be trying to go to sleep but never quite gets there. The battery light stays on, the sleep light (crescent moon) light blinks, but there's no disk activity and the power light stays on. And nothing short of holding the power button down and forcing a power off works for bringing the laptop back out of htis state. Any ideas on what I should or could do to get suspend to work again? It's a PITA to have to hard shutdown the laptop when I accidentally shut the lid.

One of the things I don't understand about the Fedora political (religious?) practice is forcing GNOME3 into a release when the drivers a large portion of users need for proper operation are not included and can't be. Actually, with stock drivers mine all suspend perfectly, it's that "resume" things that doesn't work. :-(

The manpage for pm-is-supported says that a 0 exit code means the feature _is_ supported, and 1 means it's _not_ supported. So in the above case suspend and hibernate are (in theory) supported, yet both result in my laptop being non-responsive. And in the last case the fact that: pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid&& echo $? fails to output the exit code tells me the arg is causing pm-is-supported itself to fail.

Now, how did you configure the lid closing behaviour? If you made it to cause suspend, you could try hibernate, and vice versa. In fact, for testing purposes I'd leave the lid thing out altogether and try pm-suspend or pm-hibernate from the command line.

Thanks! Now, how did you configure the lid closing behaviour? If you made it to cause suspend, you could try hibernate, and vice versa. In fact, for testing purposes I'd leave the lid thing out altogether and try pm-suspend or pm-hibernate from the command line.

Here's what I get: (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 0 (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --hibernate (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 0 (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 1 Though I'm questioning this last once since I tried to do: pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid && echo $? and it never showed the RC, telling me the command itself failed. > > Any ideas on what I should or could do to get suspend to work again? > > It's a PITA to have to hard shutdown the laptop when I accidentally shut > > the lid. > > I hope this feature (closing lid causes suspend) can be switched off > somehow. It's a PITA even if suspend/hibernate works. It can. Check out my blog post [1] about how to disable it. [1] http://mcpierce.blogspot.com/2011/05/fedora-15-gnome-3-and-closing-your.html

Remember: exit code of zero is "success", non-zero is "failure". It is inverted from common usage, but allows for multiple "failure" exit codes.

(mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 0 (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --hibernate (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 0 (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid (mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~)$ echo $? 1 Though I'm questioning this last once since I tried to do: pm-is-supported --suspend-hybrid && echo $? and it never showed the RC, telling me the command itself failed.
