Get suspend and hibernate working

SLKDK · 2009-01-10 23:10:19

Hi. Did not know were to put this..

I have Arch installed on my laptop, and at the moment I am setting up laptop-mode-tools.
I wan't my laptop to hibernate when battery level gets critical low.

But I can't get Arch to hibernate, even manually.

I have a swap partition 1500MB.
I have pm-utils installed.

Calling pm-hibernate doesnt do anything, I can Control^C out of it again.
I use LXDE and when I click "Hibernate" in the Log Out screen, the computer seems to go to hibernate, everything spins down, but at very last a white cursor is blinking in the top left of the black screen.

Hope someone can guide me.

Check/post your /var/log/pm-suspend or /var/log/pm-hibernate logs for clues.

Thanks for your reply.

That gives me:

Initial commandline parameters: --quirk-dpms-suspend
--quirk-dpms-on
--quirk-vbestate-restore
--quirk-vbemode-restore
--quirk-vga-mode3
--quirk-vbe-post

How to use that info to get suspend/hibernate working?

SLKDK · 2009-01-11 12:39:04

Anyone? I tried out Ubuntu a year ago, and suspend/hibernate worked out of the box.
So it must be possible on my laptop.

I don't find the wiki helpful cause I have done everything in it.

In my laptop I had similar problem. This issue had been resolved after setting hal policy correctly. I hope this thread may help you http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58047
