Nov 4 02:36:12 nimrodel powersaved[5044]: WARNING (suspendToDisk:474) ACPI S3 state not available
When does this message occur?
However, it hibernates just fine if I issue the command 'pm-hibernate' - therefore, this proves that the machine and the OS are perfectly capable of cooperation to hibernate the PC.
Please post the output of $ cat /sys/power/state
If in Gnome Power Management Preferences (which I have to call from the command line, I can't find the menu entry for gnome-control), General tab, Actions, I change "when the power button is pressed" to "Hibernate", now when I press the power button the machine starts to hybernate (I get the screen blanker) but doesn't go further, it prompts for my user password. Later in the log, I find this:
Nov 14 14:01:28 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) Hibernating computer because the power button has been pressed Nov 14 14:01:31 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) Resuming computer Nov 14 14:01:31 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) hibernate failed
It prompts for my password, and then I see a half hidden window on the bottom right, tittled "Sleep Problem", that says "do not show this again" "Visit" - the rest is hidden by the plastic edge of the monitor; I mean, the message is off the screen. It doesn't say what the "problem" may be.
Does 'powersave -U' work as user whenever it doesn't work with gnome-power-manager? Does it work when Hibernate got selected manually from the gnome-power-manager menu?
Who/what is lying to powersave to tell it that this machine can not hibernate?
Can you check if pmtools are installed? Note: The powersave daemon doesn't do any suspend anymore. We switched to pm-utils starting from 10.2. It's just that the powersave daemon can still trigger a suspend.
What/where can I change so that it does hibernate, as it did under 10.2, 10.1, 9.3, etc...?
