I get similar errors ( on a PowerBook G4 12-inch D.V.I. 1.5GHz with nVidia graphics ) when attempting to access any functionality provided by /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-power-pmu .
{ fr...@sancroft-1:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-power-pmu setlcd 14 power-pmu : PMU_IOC_SET_BACKLIGHT failed fr...@sancroft-1:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-power-pmu getlcd power-pmu : PMU_IOC_GET_BACKLIGHT failed fr...@sancroft-1:~$ sudo /usr/lib/hal/hal-system-power-pmu sleep power-pmu : PMU_IOC_SLEEP failed } When closing the screen starts a suspend operation , it fails with a notice that suspend failed . When I try hibernating ( since suspend is not present in any of the Gnome menus ) the system powers down in an orderly fashion , but it resumes to a black screen with no log entries visible after a restart , presumably because it never gets an opportunity to mount / read-write . -- Powerbook G4 12" (NVidia): Cannot Suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
