Debian sid, gnome-power-manager suspend/hibernate and a ThinkPad X31

In my process of getting the laptop ready to be used I ran in a little problem really annoying: gnome-power-manager wasn't able to suspend nor to hibernate the laptop.

Luckily (after half an hour of googling) I found this in gnome power manager mailing list.

Have a look at /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf and change the at_console="true" line to user="username_of_you". Then restart dbus.

And that made the trick :D

(I also added myself to powerdev group... you never know ;) )

adduser [myuser] powerdev
