This is what gnome-power-manager calls to determine if it should show suspend. (run as normal user, not root)
bus-send --session --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.PowerManagement" --type=method_call --reply-timeout=6000 /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.CanSuspend it should say true, but it actually says false. To try and get it to suspend from the command line: bus-send --session --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.PowerManagement" --type=method_call --reply-timeout=6000 /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend int32:0 By changing the file /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux and removing this bit, #if [ $seconds_to_sleep != "0" ] ; then #alarm_not_supported #fi And changing:/usr/lib/pm-utils/pm-functions # Try userspace software suspend if [ -c /dev/snapshot ] && command_exists s2disk ; then TO--> # Try userspace software suspend if [ -c /dev/snapshot ] && command_exists s2ram ; then I got suspend to display everywhere..
