** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager The bug is present in both Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10 (GPM 2.23.1-0ubuntu1 in 8.10 and 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 in 8.04) Currently, g-p-m will make a series of annoying beeps in the event of a 'failed' suspend. Unfortunately, a 'failed' suspend just means that it failed 'one' of the times on the way down or on the way up. It will continue to try until it actually makes it down or up. - Having these annoying beeps after a (successful) resume doesn't make - sense to the user since in their eyes everything went fine. + Addressing bug: + This is typically caused by a suspend longer than 6 hours, because dbus will time out the connection after 6 hours. I've supplied a fix to upstream gnome which as been added to their tree to resolve the issue. - I propose that this should be turned off by default, and if someone - wants to use it for say debugging a long time for a suspend to kick in, - or a slow resume they can enable it themselves. + Impact: + This bug is cosmetic (per say, since it's an audible sound), but can get rather annoying. - Unfortunately there isn't a good test case for this as it only happens - randomly on the way back up during resume. Sometimes performing 10 - suspend/resume cycles in a row won't even produce it. + Test Case: + 1) Ensure audio is working + 2) Ensure that the checkbox to play a noise in the event of an error is checked + 3) Suspend a machine that is known machine for > 6 hours + 4) Listen for a series of annoying beeps + + Regression Potential: + This code path is only used when suspending > 6 hours. There shouldn't be any regression potential.
