Suspend hangs on black screen

For the past month or so pm-suspend has been broken. When I issue it will start and then hang at a black screen with a flashing cursor. I then can't do anything and am forced to hard restart thus making no logs with dmesg. gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend gives me:

Suspending
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.GLib.UnmappedError.GpmControlError.Code0: Cannot suspend as not allowed from policy
Failed

Re: Suspend hangs on black screen

can you issue this as root?  maybe you can set up a sudoers system OR add yourself to the hal group or power group.  Some kind of group.

Re: Suspend hangs on black screen

I'm in the power group and root does nothing. Pm-utils just got updated with no luck.
