RHBA-2014:1455 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pm-utils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The pm-utils packages contain a set of utilities and scripts for tasks related
to power management.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, pm-utils did not support the Advanced Configuration and Power

Interfaces (ACPI) S1 (Power on Suspend) power state. As a consequence, when BIOS
supported the ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) power state but not the S1 power state,
the "pm-suspend" command failed. This update introduces support for the S1 power
state, and if the S3 power state is not supported by BIOS, pm-suspend now
triggers the S1 power state. (BZ#1025006)

Users of pm-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
