[gpm] suspend not working

[James Utter <jutter trinity unimelb edu au>]

Hello. 

I have just recently installed gnome-power-manager, however suspend/hibernate does not work.

If i click hibernate, it reports:
    HAL failed to hibernate.
    Check the FAQ for common problems.

I recently installed suspend2, and it works from the command 'sudo hibernate'.

I had a look through the mailing list archives, and although I saw other people with the same problem (e.g. Simon Hjorth Bøggild [http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-power-manager-list/2006-October/msg00000.html]
and Alexander Skwar [ http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-power-manager-list/2006-September/msg00011.html ], I could not find any solutions. 

I am running gnome-power-manager 2.14.3 on a Debian (etch) system.
How does gnome-power-manager call the suspend? Is it calling the script correctly?

Cheers,

James Utter
