Hi everyone,

I have a very small, but annoying problem with my Suse 9.2

I'm happily running it on HP laptop pavilion series and it runs like a charm. Everything works (there are even some features that are unavailable under Windoz )

The problem (a very little one) that I have is as follows:

I have setup yast to suspend system to HD when power button is pressed and it works superb. Much faster then Win Hibenate function. My system is off on a flash and on even faster. The best of all - I don't have to save my work/close anything. After I turn on my PC all is as if I never turned it off

And here is the problem - the power button does suspend only once. After I resume my system later it never works again! Suspend itself works perfectly when I use kpowersave drop-down menu to start the sequence.

Does anyone know what might the problem be?

Thanks

You forgot to read the instructions?

The instructions which clearly warn you about modules that will not probably return to use after a suspend or hibernation and need to be manually reloaded or be set up to unload then reload upon restart?

I've recently acquired a laptop and the suspend to disk seems to work without any problems via the dropdown as well. I attempted to set it up so it suspended when I closed the lid but that does not really seem to work at all. I guess that we should be happy that software works well.

Check your apm (or acpi?) scripts. Probably there is something that "leaves hanging" during the resume and no new suspend is possible before last resume is completed.

Well, thank you all people. If you think it's that complicated I think I will just leave it all just the way it is. After all it's just a minor inconvenience and I can live with it.
I'm looking forward for the upcoming SUSE 9.3! They promise a better laptop support there.

Best of luck

P.S.: alienDog -you want me to check a script???! I don't even know where to find it, and even if I did... I have NEVER compiled a single program, it's all RPM for me. I couldn't work with Linux for the life of me if it wasn't for SUSE's super user friendly user interface So, unless a problem can be solved with YAST or KDE manager I would rather leave it alone. Thank you for help all the same.
