Ubuntu 10.10 fails to suspend


Ubuntu Maverick (64 bit) will suspend to RAM on my desktop computer immediately after I boot it up (before I start working). But after I have some programs open, it always fails to suspend.

I get the typical blinking cursor in the upper right corner of a black screen. Then, after 20 seconds, the screen comes back on. The logs contain a message that "Freezing of tasks failed after 20.01 seconds."

The problem task is usually listed as gnome-panel. Sometimes other tasks are listed too (such as Nautilus).

Why will gnome-panel allow me to suspend soon after booting up, but not allow suspend after I start working with applications? I am not changing anything in the panel. And deleting the applets I have installed (system monitor and hardware monitor) doesn't make any difference - the problem continues. As I said, sometimes Nautilus is listed as the task that refuses to freeze.

If I switch users, I can suspend. I assume switching users just puts me in the "clean" state I have with my own user after booting up, so this doesn't really tell me anything new.

I have searched all the other threads I can find. Most of the extensive suspend debugging threads are either from the 2007 era or they deal with laptops or resume issues. My issue is failure to suspend on a desktop.

As you can see from the logs, I've been working on this for a month already!

Here's a typical error message:
Nov 7 01:52:59 MyComputer kernel: [ 1625.221296] Freezing of tasks failed after 20.01 seconds (1 tasks refusing to freeze):

Here's an example log showing 2 tasks that fail to freeze:

I admit that I don't know what your problem is, but ,
have you check to see if you're in a group that has permission to suspen hibernate and shutdown?

That was the first line in my post above. I said it will suspend immediately after I boot it up. Later, after I have been working, it refuses to suspend.

I also have Ubuntu10.10. Ihaven't tried to suspend but the problem that I had is similar.
I couldn't shutdown my machine. So I added I want to say "gnome menu bar"
It's available through synaptic. I'm attaching 3 screenshots, to show you what I'm talking about.
The regular Ubuntu shutdown button, I never touch it. I use the 1 that I added.
If I even think about the normal power button, my machine will not shutdown.
Add that and try to suspend.

My desktop version of ubuntu works using this method.
My server edition doesn't shutdown though.
