I also would like "suspend/resume" to actually work. I think Lars and I have filed bug reports about this in the fairly recent past . . . and which does not really seem to have been addressed, as it still remains an issue in my PPC computers running various linux/ubuntu OSs. Whereas, in the same computers, running OSX . . . no problem. I'm seeing these two other suggestions about how to potentially fix the problem . . . one might ask if it was so simple why haven't the devs just fixed it? But, interesting to note that "before XFCE power manager it worked" . . . as most systems seem to use it . . . . Over on my LM MBPro, "suspend" does work, although it can have "issues" about "waking" . . . . This single problem is one significant barriar to more consistent use of linux as a frontline OS . . . I don't like to have the computer fan/processor blowing madly while I'm not actively using the computer, and like to be able to "wake up" faster than a cold boot at times throughout the day. But, Israel, you are saying that simply by creating a file that contains 5 short lines that the suspend/resume will be working? Again, why then are the devs not including those 5 lines in an update/upgrade patch? F
