Ok, I got it running just fine, the error I got was because there was no acpid runing so hal failed to exec the method.
relevant hal logs: 11:39:36.662 [I] hald_dbus.c:3085: OK for method 'Suspend' with signature 'i' on interface 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement' for UDI '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' and execpath 'hal-system-power-suspend' 11:39:36.666 [I] hald_dbus.c:2613: no need to enqueue Run started hal-system-power-suspend (0) (1) ! full path is '/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend', program_dir is '/usr/share/hal/scripts' /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend exited 11:39:36.737 [I] hald_dbus.c:2635: No more methods in queue 11:39:36.737 [I] hald_dbus.c:2680: failed with 'Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.novell.powersave was not provided by any .service files' 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.NotSupported' 8685: arguments to dbus_message_new_error() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_error_name (error_name)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 925. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-BUS library. (I'm using powersaved) maybe we should put this kind of info to the user somehow ?
