There is a problem somewhere with HAL. You can try posting on the openSUSE forums, just mentioning HAL (not KDE 3.5), since HAL is sometimes needed also for other applications not just KDE 3.5.
In the mean time, you can still hibernate or suspend your computer by entering "powersave" or "powersave -U" on the commandline.
HAL has nothing to do with suspend and hibernate. In current KDE3 the both are called via D-Bus. If that does not work in 12.3, it is another bug. I suggest you to ask Serghei Amelian because it is him who wrote those D-Bus calls. In 12.2 all works well at least (without any HAL installed).
There is also an alternative to kpowersave that uses upowerd instead of HAL, batti-gtk:
http://code.google.com/p/batti-gtk/
It's fun but not all the functionality of kpowersave.
There is also a pre-HAL version of kpowersave. I will investigate whether I can package it if HAL still will not work.
The problem is with HAL and not with KDE 3.5, so maybe you can find the answer on a HAL-related forum? But, sorry, I'm just a user like you, not a developer, so don't take my word. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
