pm-suspend or pm-hibernate not responding after upgrade to 14.04

[Jyrki_Majamki]

Well my "upgrade" to 14.04 went balls up - so it's rather new installation. I installed kodibuntu, but AFAICS it's lubuntu?
Never mind the problem is rather general. In my former installation with xbmcbuntu the suspend and hibernate worked
just fine, so I know that my hardware is up to it.

Now I get nothing when I give pm-suspend or pm-hibernate into terminal.
However, if I go for example to
sudo -s
echo -n "platform" > /sys/power/disk
echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state

I get a nice suspend or with "disk" I get hibernate. Only lirc would not be working but that's minor.
What is it that is bugging pm-suspend and pm-hibernate commands - aren't those commands not exactly
what they are doing?

I see no hints in dmesg or in /var/log/pm*** why it is not working and I have no idea where to look next

Hmm... those commands are scripts, are they not? (someone correct me if wrong)
Maybe different hibernate executable versions, usage syntax changes or filename changes caused it.
If all else fails, I would suggest commenting out every line in those scripts or the parts causing problems.
Or just replace the scripts with new ones containing the hibernate/suspend command and noting else. XD

I know it's a evil hack, but it sure helped me make my custom OS work till I finished it and ironed out the bugs.
Rewrote all the scripts myself bit by bit after figuring out their functions and custom compiled stuff till I made it perfect.
Would only recommend this as a last resort or debugging method, by overriding the default script actions.

I am nearly certain it's caused by updated files, or ones who were moved/removed that it expects to have.
