Hi,
after install ponos (and d-u) I am missing the s2disk (suspend to disk). And can't find it in the repositories. Maybe I missed something (change of name or the like).
Edit also tried hibernate and uswsusp but they fail as well.
I do have a swap-disk (10 gig)
Code:
hibernate
hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found.
/bin/echo: write error: No such device
I have edited the tuxonice.conf and entered the swap device properly.
uswsusp
Installing gives me:
Code:
The swap file or partition that was found in uswsusp's configuration file is not active.
In most cases this means userspace software suspend will not work as expected. You should choose another swapspace.
However, in some rare cases, this configuration may be intentional. Continue without a valid swap space?
Where is the configuration file of uswsusp?
Thanks in advance. |

Ok I have created a uswsusp.conf
Code:
resume device = /dev/sda6
compress = y
early writeout = y
image size = 8796110430
RSA key file = /etc/uswsusp.key
shutdown method = shutdown
encrypt = y
splash = y
compute checksum = y
suspend loglevel = 5
max loglevel = 5
It snapshots the system, but when turning on the machine it is a normal boot.
What is wrong? |

I don't use "uswsusp", so no dice here.
But suspend/hibernate works for me without it anyway…
All you need should be 'upower' (probably already installed) and maybe a little edit to the grub configuration.
Like e.g. here: http://aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphp ... =9693#9693
(The UUID MUST be the one of your swap partition or file of course… and yes, UUID is better than the /dev/bla name)
If you have a swap file 'filefrag -v' will help you find the right resume_offset - otherwise don't specify it.
I have it with a swap file, so I don't know if it works out-of-the-box if you have a swap partition.
You can choose the right menu item in your preferred session manager. If you don't have such a thing or want to create your own quick button or whatever:
Code:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
suspends to RAM. Hiberate does the same, but to disk. |

Thanks but neither hibernate nor s2disk is working.
The dbus command (replaced by Hibernate at the end) doesn't work either.
The system writes out the pages and shuts down but a restart is always a full boot and not a resume.
Suspend to RAM works.
Problem is: My new laptop has a faulty battery (will be exchanged but will take a couple of weeks) - so I need to suspend to disk. We have a lot of electrical shortages here ... )-; |

| So you are sure that the swap partition is correctly configured (aka activated permanently) and that your kernel commandline contains a resume= for exactly this partition? |

swapon -va
doesn't produce any output. Is there any other means of activating it?
In my /etc/fstab it is like:
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 |

Yes, I forgot to mention this in my latest post.
I have done this, because you directed me to the other thread regarding hibernate... |
