Has anyone had any success in putting your computer into suspension using Ubuntu 7.10? I went into the Ubuntu community forums and have not had a response in 2 days. My computer basically goes back to the Logon screen after clicking on the Suspend icon. I thought I'd try this forum for some direction or help.
My question to you is why do you want to use suspend mode...is this a laptop you're asking about?

Hi Jam, thanks for the response. No, it is a Desktop. When I get done using the computer and I know that I will be getting back on later, I prefer to just leave it ON or in Standy/Suspend until I am ready for it again. I did this when I was using Windows and now that I am with Ubuntu, I thought I could continue doing it this way. Thats the only reason. Why do you ask?

"Why do you ask?"
Because suspend, hibernate & standby were generally designed as power saving features for laptops/notebooks, not desktops. Those settings are known to cause problems in desktops systems running Windows...I'm not so sure about Ubuntu.
I run SimplyMepis ;-)

I have three computers (desktops) and no problem with suspend in windows, I like to suspend my computers at times.
If you are going to use
Linux, accept the fact that some things will
no longer work.

Actually the link jam posted is a great place to start. Not even sure you have acpi you might have to look at apm.

Personally I never allow a system to be powered up when not in use. It is too easy to turn off and on and kill all the wall warts and system with a power strip.I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

I'm at work now but, when I get home I'll try it on the machine I have that dual boots XP & 7.10. I'll post back in a few hours & let you know. With most distros if there is no activity for about 10-15 mins the screen goes black and the monitor light goes from green to amber, that is usally good enough for me.

Thanks all for your inputs. No problem. If Ubuntu can't handle it, I will just switch it OFF. Not a big deal. I was only inquiring to see if there was some configuration that I was not aware of. Thanks again.

Same happened with mine. But I am using Wubi... so... yeah.
What Linux gains in stability, security, etc... it loses in other areas like this.

If you read all the links and still doesn't work then maybe it can't.

Yeah jefro, I think you're right. I have searched about 5 forums and most people are having the same problem and can only hope that in the future it will get solved. I still wonder why they even put a Suspend Icon if it won't work. Again, this is only for Gusty Gibbon. I understand it works in Festy ok. Like Jam said, why bother with a desktop. Ok, this time I really am out of here.

Did you look at the apm function also? Your system may not support acpi.

I recently (within the last 45 days) installed Feisty on this newly built machine. Then, when things were not working, I upgraded to Gutsy. The upgrade, alone, fixed many problems I was having with Feisty.
Still, I too have an issue with Suspend but mine is quite different from yours.
In my case, the machine WILL suspend when I select it from the power down options. The problem is that it will not wake up from suspend by either, key or mouse input. It will only come back to life by using the power button on the tower.I have found quite a lot of problems regarding power management on the various forums and no one seems to have answers.
