Massive breakage here chaps. It’s way too late in my timezone and I’m way too (expletive of the sort the mods here abhor for some puritanical reason) exhausted to do anything else than crawling into bed, so if anyone here would care to file a bug report for me on the above, that would be grand. Cheers.

Hi
Why, the package has been dropped…

I guess that would explain why it doesn’t work then. I expect it will eventually disappear from the repo?

Also, from Vojtěch’s message linked above:

systemd can handle (sort of) suspend and hibernation

Ok, so how do I suspend / hibernate a machine from the command line then, in the absence of pm-utils? Any ideas?

systemctl suspend

For more info ‘man systemd-sleep’

or
