Hi,
I was wondering how to make my computer go to sleep mode and hibernate. I found a couple ways to hibernate that involved swap partitions, but I don't have one. Is there a method that can write the data to a file? Couldn't find any method to enter sleep. It would be nice to not have to shutdown completely everyday.

pm-utils
I've never used it but some people like uswsusp
pacman -Ss suspend # is rather enlightening =)

I'd recommend suspend-to-ram over suspend-to-disk - details in the wiki.

A swap partition is not needed (nor useful) for suspension to ram. For suspension to disk it can be replaced with some effort with a swap file thanks to the tuxonice technology (you need a patched kernel).

uswsusp also supports suspension to a swap file, and without patching the kernel.

I just got pm-hibernate (suspend to disk (swap)) running by adding a resume thingie to grub and a "resume" before "filesystems" at HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf. Then did a mkinitcpio -p kernel26 (as root!) and that was it! It works. I even have a swap smaller than ram and it's cool.

I'm so ashamed. I read through the documentation to quickly I was trying s2ram, I left off the -f. Works fine now, thanks everyone. I'll read more thoroughly in the future
