Hi

I wonder if anyone has an answer to this.

If I put my desktop PC to sleep as root from the console using "s2ram -f -m", my PC sleeps and resumes perfectly.

But if I try to put my PC to sleep via gnome-power-manager or the sleep button in the main Gnome logout box, sleep fails: the logs show the PC tries to sleep but then instantly resumes. I've set appropriate parameters in gnome-power-manager's preferences, also reachable via the screen-saver, but no luck.

A permissions problem? A foobared command line inside Gnome which the Gnome buttons fire off? A missing package? Or ...

I can confirm that my 11.0 box won't hibernate, but suspend to RAM works fine using the option on the power button applet. I can't get hibernation to work even from the command-line - does just what you describe, starts to go to sleep, and then instantly wakes up.
