It's not a permission problem. The error is "machine not found".
However, the laptop happily suspends either with the hotkey, or when invoked from gnome (ie by power settings, or from system->shutdown and then choosing suspend). I have the same situation on a sid desktop. It suspends great via gnome, but once again, not via s2ram (it never suspended when I was using Ubuntu 8.04, so I am delighted about this). I have tried hard but I've never understood how gnome does suspend. If I could work that out, could I configure gdm to call an alternate script? When I look at /usr/share/pm-utils/defaults I see that everything is commented out; the comments in file indicate that this means the kernel is managing suspend. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
