Some better fix will probably be needed. I've since found that in the suspend2 code, I was working around this problem before by not calling the prepare method. I've just today modified the Suspend code so that it calls prepare for all of the powerdown methods and everything is working fine without reverting the patch. I guess this is your better fix if you're a suspend2 user. If not, are there other circumstances in which you're seeing the computer fail to powerdown? Regards, Nigel -- Evolution.
