Only time I've had an issue is when something prevented the system from properly suspending and I failed to notice. Lappy was quite toasty in the bad when I went to grab it a few hours later. Nowadays though, gnome-power-manager screams loudly (makes a very audible noise) if suspend fails, but I've only heard it once or twice, and not from my own laptop. -- Jarod Wilson [hidden email] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
