           Summary: Desktop 12.1 system does not hibernate since KDE 4.8.1
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: krienke at uni-koblenz.de
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101

Build Identifier: 

I am running openSuSE 12.1 with  kde4.8.1 rpms from openSuSE installed.
My problem is I can no longer hibernate my linux desktop system. The machine
seems to do nothing when I initiate hibernation but then hangs. The systems
condition is strange, eg usually the KDE desktop is still visible, I even can
still close eg firefox. However KDE itself seems to hang completey. No KDE menu
no KDE apps respond to any mouse actions.   Even a reboot does not work, so I
have to turn the system off by long pressing the power switch. 
The linux system is using the binary nvidia drivers.

I tried to start hibernation via KDE-Menu  as well as by pm-hibernate (being
root).
If I do not start KDE but instead use eg fvwm and then run pm-hibernate,
everything works just fine. 
The very same system did not have any problem hibernating using KDE 4.8.0 or
earlier versions. The trouble started right after an update from 4.8.0 to 4.8.1

Thanks
Rainer
