User1: i'm having a problem here and am just wondering if it's worth to write a bug report:
User1: if i press my "hibernate-shortcut" - gnome tells me: "cannot hibernate"
User2: probably check to see if it exists first
User2: hibernate bugs are common
User1: User2 nope, didn't find it
User2: check wiki to see if your model has fix
User1: but if i check "/sys/power/state":
User1: # cat /sys/power/state
User1: mem disk
User1: upower on the other hand:
User1: # upower -d | grep hibernate
User1: can-hibernate    no
User2: hmm, what computer your using?
User1: Thinkpad T42
User2: and version of ubuntu?
User1: Lucid Beta 2
User2: UNE?Desktop?
User1: UNE? gnome
User2: is it a netbook  or standard desktop install?
User1: standard desktop
User1: (installed using PXE, but that shouldn't matter *g*)
User2: let me check somthing then, brb
User1: k
User1: btw.: hibernate using "s2disk" seems to work just fine
User2: have you tried hibernating another way (i.e power mangement)
User2: it may be your "function" key not working properly
User1: well, i get a "message" from gdm i guess:
User1: "Cannot hibernate" - which, i guess, just checks the "can-hibernate"-key of devkit
User2: by setting your powerbutton to hibernate will it hibernate correctly that way?
User1: i'll give it a shot - moment please
User1: i cannot event choose "hibernate" there
User2: Do you have S3 suspend set to "On" in your BIOS settings?
User1: brb :)
User1: looks like it's enabled
User2: ok i only have 2 more ideas...
User1: the question i ask myself: why does the kernel say that "suspend2disk" is available and devkit says it's not?
User2: check /etc/default/acpi-support and make sure "ACPI_SLEEP=true" is uncommented and true
User2: and then run the hibernate script "/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh"
User1: you probably mean: "ACPI_HIBERNATE"
User1: but both are true anyway
User2: did you call the hibernate script?
User1: the script works..
User2: you hibernated?
User1: yepp
User2: hmm so lets do
User2: /etc/acpi/events/ibm-hibernatebtn
User2: event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
User2: action=/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
User2: and for sleep you can
User2: /etc/acpi/events/ibm-sleepbtn
User2: event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
User2: action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh force
User2: this is a script someone on launchpad used in their autostart to get your keys going again http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24484539/softkeys.py
User2: It should not be limited to thinkpads but support all laptops that generate the corresponding key press events. Most functionality is accessed via dbus either using HAL or KDE services.It depends on python2.6 (could be easily backported to 2.5),
User2: python-dbus and python-xlib.
User2: did any of that get you going...lol, i should say sleeping?
User1: the keys are working just fine all the time
User2: ok so you can hibernate from keypresses now?
User1: the hibernate-keys starts an action, it just fails without doing hibernation
User1: i don't want a crappy workaround, i want devkit and stuff working as it should
User1: *shrug*
User2: im out of ideas then
User2: sorry man
User2: i would hate for my help to be crappy ;)
User1: the help is not - the workaround just is :)
User1: if i JUST wanted to hibernate i would call "s2disk" from terminal - but that's not what a GUI is for, IMHO
User2: well, i was checking a few things and thought id help, i gtg good luck oohh btw: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690933
User2: who needs a gui
User2: good luck
User1: right...
