Details

Description: When i try to suspend or hibernate arch, it kills my gnome session or does anything.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
i think that there were some pm-utils update few days ago, which caused those problems... (not sure):
extra/pm-utils 1.2.6.1-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
start gnome and select shutdown->suspend to ram from main menu or launch pm-suspend or pm-hibernate. sometimes it kills gnome and ends with weird stucked gdm, sometimes it just does nothing.
This task depends upon

Now it changed (i think the change was caused by xorg-server upgrade). I can suspend my system, but i cannot wake it correctly. i think it wakes up, but screen is black and i even cannot change to another VT. i have latest versions of all available packages (from stable).

same problem. Used Xfce4, I can suspend, but after wake have only black screen. I can switch to console, but i can not switch to X server (Ctrl+(Alt)+F7).

i tested kernel26-tls, and suspend works.

seems as kernel regression - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14782

i found another trick.
when i kill gnome-panel, it's OK. (i have script which kills it twice a second, because gnome-session is still restarting it...). another way is to logout to gdm and suspend pc from gdm when gnome-panel is not running.

anespor: and are you sure that symptoms are same? my kernel is OK. it looks like problem are in gnome-panel or something...
Comment by Tomas Mudrunka (harvie) - Tuesday, 15 December 2009, 00:57 GMT
