How to enable automatically suspended like before?

[jay li]

I remember when I've got my fresh ubuntu 8.10, the suspend worked automatically.
After the first time the system made an updates this option gone.
I don't know why and I would like to bring it back.

Specs:

eee pc 701
sd card
Ubuntu 8.10
jfs format
no swap

Go to:

System -> Preferences -> Power Management

and check your settings.

PS ignore the "blank screen" selection

Does it obey on AC?

is acpi running?

ps uaxwww|grep acpi

I run the code you gave but didn't understand anything from it.

Output:

baryoni@baryoni-desktop:~$ ps uaxwww|grep acpi

If can explain me what is that mean, I'll appreciate that.

Thanks.

The first line means that kacpid (kernel ACPI daemon) is running.
