Description Dan Nicholson 2008-01-30 23:19:38 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Currently, there is a hook in pm-utils that sleeps and wakes NM using dbus-send when suspending and resuming. It would be better if this hook shipped with NM since it's not required for pm-utils. The hook is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pm-utils/tree/pm/sleep.d/10NetworkManager

What do you think?

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

This is what I do in PackageKit (to check the cache validity on resume) so I think it's sane to push the pm-utils hook into NetworkManager. Worst case scenario, the hook is installed without pm-utils insalled, and no action happens on resume - which is the same as what we have now.
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2008-01-31 15:39:50 UTC 
Yep, probably right.
Comment 3 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-06-17 12:11:58 UTC 
The url has changed. It is linked from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pm-utils/tree/pm/sleep.d (perhaps the numbering changes again the future).
Comment 4 Dan Nicholson 2008-06-17 13:56:24 UTC 
There is a minimal specification for the numbering of the hooks. Here's some info:

Comment 5 Dan Williams 2010-09-20 18:15:06 UTC 
NM actually now listens to gnome-power-manager/UPower for suspend/resume events, so pm-utils hooks are no longer completely necessary for suspend/resume integration.  If the machine isn't running UPower/gpm, then they would still be necessary.
Comment 6 Dan Nicholson 2013-02-04 16:02:22 UTC 
I'm going to close this. As Dan says, NM listens for suspend/resume natively in the typical case, so the pm-utils hooks aren't necessary most of the time. Also, on recent Linux systems, pm-utils is no longer actually responsible for doing the suspending. So, it makes sense to let the hook continue to live in the pm-utils repo in the event that people need it.
