[23:16] <rw> i'm having a problem here and am just wondering if it's worth to write a bug report:
[23:17] <rw> if i press my "hibernate-shortcut" - gnome tells me: "cannot hibernate"
[23:17] <colorlessprism> probably check to see if it exists first
[23:17] <colorlessprism> hibernate bugs are common
[23:17] <rw> colorlessprism: nope, didn't find it
[23:17] <colorlessprism> check wiki to see if your model has fix
[23:17] <rw> but if i check "/sys/power/state":
[23:17] <rw> # cat /sys/power/state
[23:17] <rw> mem disk
[23:18] <rw> upower on the other hand:
[23:18] <rw> # upower -d | grep hibernate
[23:18] <rw> can-hibernate    no
[23:18] <colorlessprism> hmm, what computer your using?
[23:19] <rw> Thinkpad T42
[23:19] <colorlessprism> and version of ubuntu?
[23:19] <rw> Lucid Beta 2
[23:19] <colorlessprism> UNE?Desktop?
[23:20] <rw> UNE? gnome
[23:20] <colorlessprism> is it a netbook  or standard desktop install?
[23:20] <rw> standard desktop
[23:21] <rw> (installed using PXE, but that shouldn't matter *g*)
[23:21] <colorlessprism> let me check somthing then, brb
[23:21] <rw> k
[23:23] <rw> btw.: hibernate using "s2disk" seems to work just fine
[23:23] <colorlessprism> have you tried hibernating another way (i.e power mangement)
[23:23] <colorlessprism> it may be your "function" key not working properly
[23:23] <rw> well, i get a "message" from gdm i guess:
[23:24] <rw> "Cannot hibernate" - which, i guess, just checks the "can-hibernate"-key of devkit
[23:24] <colorlessprism> by setting your powerbutton to hibernate will it hibernate correctly that way?
[23:25] <rw> i'll give it a shot - moment please
[23:26] <rw> i cannot event choose "hibernate" there
[23:26] <colorlessprism> Do you have S3 suspend set to "On" in your BIOS settings?
[23:26] <rw> brb :)
[23:31] <rw> looks like it's enabled
[23:32] <colorlessprism> ok i only have 2 more ideas...
[23:32] <rw> the question i ask myself: why does the kernel say that "suspend2disk" is available and devkit says it's not?
[23:32] <colorlessprism> check /etc/default/acpi-support and make sure "ACPI_SLEEP=true" is uncommented and true
[23:34] <colorlessprism> and then run the hibernate script "/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh"
[23:35] <rw> you probably mean: "ACPI_HIBERNATE"
[23:35] <rw> but both are true anyway
[23:36] <colorlessprism> did you call the hibernate script?
[23:37] <rw> the script works..
[23:38] <colorlessprism> you hibernated?
[23:40] <rw> yepp
[23:41] <colorlessprism> hmm so lets do
[23:41] <colorlessprism> /etc/acpi/events/ibm-hibernatebtn
[23:41] <colorlessprism>    event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
[23:41] <colorlessprism>    action=/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
[23:42] <colorlessprism> and for sleep you can
[23:42] <colorlessprism> /etc/acpi/events/ibm-sleepbtn
[23:42] <colorlessprism>    event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
[23:42] <colorlessprism>    action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh force
[23:46] <colorlessprism> this is a script someone on launchpad used in their autostart to get your keys going again http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24484539/softkeys.py
[23:46] <colorlessprism> 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),
[23:46] <colorlessprism> python-dbus and python-xlib.
[23:48] <colorlessprism> did any of that get you going...lol, i should say sleeping?
[23:49] <rw> the keys are working just fine all the time
[23:50] <colorlessprism> ok so you can hibernate from keypresses now?
[23:50] <rw> the hibernate-keys starts an action, it just fails without doing hibernation
[23:50] <rw> i don't want a crappy workaround, i want devkit and stuff working as it should
[23:50] <rw> *shrug*
[23:51] <colorlessprism> im out of ideas then
[23:51] <colorlessprism> sorry man
[23:51] <colorlessprism> i would hate for my help to be crappy ;)
[23:51] <rw> the help is not - the workaround just is :)
[23:52] <rw> if i JUST wanted to hibernate i would call "s2disk" from terminal - but that's not what a GUI is for, IMHO
[23:52] <colorlessprism> 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
[23:52] <colorlessprism> who needs a gui
[23:52] <colorlessprism> good luck
[23:53] <rw> right...
