hibernate for KDE 4.6

[brandsmeier]

How do I get hibernate to work in KDE 4.6?

I followed to Gentoo Power Management Guide to set up hibernation using hibernate-script with the method swusp (I don't have tuxonice sources).
The hibernate is working
* from the console with no X server running
* from the console with an X server running, but not logged in
* from a running gnome X-session
so everything works, except with KDE 4.6.

I also noticed that KDE has its own method for hibernate, but both the hibernate-script and the hibernate button in KDE fail to hibernate the laptop. The problem is, that the system simply does not shut down. The screen gets blank, with a cursor flashing at the top left. In this state the laptop stays forever.

When I hibernate with any of the other methods, I still see the same screen, but at some point the PC goes off. From KDE it never goes of, and more funny I can actually switch between my consoles with Ctrl+Alt+number (I cannot do this with any of the working hibernations). Unfortunately the keys are otherwise turned on, so I cannot type anything in any of the running bash logins, nor make a new login. I also can't switch back to the graphical user interface.


With KDE 4.4 (and HAL) it actually worked before. With KLDE 4.6 and upwer / policykit it doesn't work. My hibernate-script is `sys-power/hibernate-script-2.0-r1 USE="-vim-syntax"`. The hibernate-script configuration is as shipped from gentoo (I actually had some little changes, but I removed them for the sake of debugging). About he configuration of KDE's hibernate, I have no clue how to configure it.

My kernel is properly configured as described in the Gentoo Power Management Guide.

Do you have any idea what is going wrong? How can I further debug the issues? Are there alternatives to get hibernate working from KDE?

I can also give you info from my /var/log/hibernate.log

A successful hibernate & restart looks like this:
