Dell Inspiron 1521 suspend/hibernate not working

Hi all, new Arch user here. I've tried working through the Acpid and Pm-utils wiki articles, but it's all just too confusing. I installed both the programs, and when I run either pm-suspend or pm-hibernate as root, All I get is my screen goes black. I press keys, open close the lid, but it just doesn't do anything, and power remains on when testing pm-hibernate. The only way out of it is to hard-reboot the laptop.

I am not sure where to start with all this. Here is my log from running pm-suspend:

You can have a look at this fix: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fi … orking-bug
This have solved many suspend -hibernate problems.

I applied the fix as described on the site, and suspend works! Sadly, hibernate does not. It still does not power down

Karol, yes I can power off and reboot just fine.

I was so happy for the successful suspend and I didn't check the hibernation or reboot.
I read your post and I checked it at once.
Fortunately, everything works fine.

I use the uswsusp method for suspending to disk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … ate-script
