problem with pm-suspend

hi to all,

when i suspend the first time all goes fine: system goes in suspend mode and restore is ok, no problems or error BUT when i suspend for the second time the system doesn't go in suspend mode (indeed fans rotate, leds don't blink as i put in suspend for the first time, and screen is not in stand-by)

what is the problem ?

thanks to all

Related to THIS? Maybe not, but just a thought.

Re: problem with pm-suspend

My laptop (HP dv5000) seems to have a problem with the lid switch...I have a similar behavior where if I suspend by closing the lid, it will work about every other time. I finally just bound a small script with my screen locker and pm-suspend to a key combination that I use to put it to sleep instead of closing the lid. Minor annoyance, but oh well. Of course, this may be totally not applicable since you're probably talking about your desktop

Re: problem with pm-suspend

Some more ideas since it's not tpm (and just so what I shared in the other post gets seen here):

- exit out of your DE/WM/Xorg and see if running pm-suspend from the bare command line allows you to suspend? If so, maybe it's something in X that's preventing it?

- maybe at fresh reboot, try:

 lsmod > at_boot.txt

then suspend, then

 lsmod > first_suspend.txt

and then try to diff the two to see if anything weird is going on there? In previous distros I've had issues with certain modules not reloading... I wonder if something is not being restored after the first suspend that's causing it to hand the second time?
