Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.20.0-1+b1
Severity: minor
The current user needs to be in the 'powerdev' group for
suspend/hibernate to work. (Yes, I should have read
/usr/share/doc/README.Debian earlier, but you can't expect
most users to read that at all.)
It would be nice if the error message said something to the
effect of "please add your user to the 'powerdev' group"
instead of a generic "didn't work" error message.
