Bug#573782: upgrade-reports: ACPI hibernate and sleep broken after upgrade
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important
Previous option to press hibernate button or sleep button to initiate hibernate or sleep is unavailable and nonfunctioning after upgrade of packages on March 12, 2010. Capability existed prior to upgrade.
Can still hibernate with command-line hibernate tool, but attempting the action via Gnome Power Manager (version 2.28.3) does not function. Pressing the power button, previously assigned to the hibernate action, causes error, resulting in dialog box message: "Power Manager: Sleep problem. Your computer failed to hibernate. Check the help file for common problems." The URL for the help page (at http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/) leads to a 404. Pressing actual hibernate or sleep button causes similar message.
Also, the system (a Dell Latitude D810 laptop) is no longer showing the battery, and is indicating it is running from AC power when it is on battery. Charge status not available.
Either Gnome Power Manager is broken, or something is wrong with the ACPI drivers. Further guidance requested.
