Igor, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  daemon crashing and going defunct prevents suspend

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

  since upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10, i've had occasional problems
  suspending my laptop. it seems that the gnome-settings-daemon crashes
  and goes defunct:

  igor47    1987  0.0  0.4 385652 16692 ?        Ds   May11   0:24
  /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon

  it then prevents the system from suspending

  May 16 22:21:10 localhost kernel: [181200.590107] INFO: task gnome-settings-:1987 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  May 16 22:21:10 localhost kernel: [181200.590116] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message

  the timeout takes a long time, and i've frequently found myself
  thinking my laptop has successfully suspended only to discover it
  several hours later, extremely warm in my bag.

  i've been trying to figure out how to disable gnome-settings-manager
  as a workaround, but i have no idea what even starts it up (or what
  the effects of this would be; it does appear that gnome-settings-
  manager has any documentation which explains what it does...)
