Hibernation

Regarding this article [wiki]Pm-utils#HAL_Method[/wiki]:

What kind of command is that supposed to be?

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

Is that supposed to be that way?

I am trying to set up hibernating, but I can make no sense of that nor can my PC...

Re: Hibernation

I'd suggest the sudo method myself, as outlined in the following section of that wiki page. However, that is a valid command - check man dbus-send for more details. If you want help with it, you need to post some error messages or other meaningful details.

Re: Hibernation

Hmm, why not using pm-hibernate as root only? Or TuxOnIce? I've been using pm-utils for two weeks, but it's nowhere good as ice.

/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Suspend int32:0

This is the suspend method have a look at the end of the command it is written Suspend replace it with Hibernate and it should work without requiring sudo or changing file permission.

If you want to use this command just type it in a console and it should suspend your computer

Edit: it is actually specified in the wiki that you linked
