pm-utils not hibernating but shutting down [solved]

orschiro · 2010-05-23 14:16:46

Hello guys,

I always just used pm-suspend and it's working fine but today I wanted to try out pm-hibernating with the result that my machine is turning off completely. Means when I turn it on again the system is normally booting without restoring my previous session.

I followed the entry in the wiki and added resume=/path/to/swap/drive to my menu.lst. So this can not be the point and with pm-suspend it's also working as written above.

What else can I try?

Regards

Also tried to add the "resume" hook? This solved the problem for me.

Thanks for this hint. Obviously I missed this. It's working fine now.

Another question. Is it recommendable to transport a laptop when it is in hibernating? I mean it would be great, just storing the session and restoring it quickly elsewhere.

Sure. laptop and harddrive are turned off, no harm carrying it around (still, don't drop it ).

Just be sure to have a locked screen after resume so that if anyone steals the notebook he doesn't have it too easy to access your data.

This is warranted as I'm using an encrypted hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

How to accomplish this?

Did you check to see if your motherboard even supports hibernating using the pm-is-supported command?

orschiro · 2010-05-24 14:47:06

I have to ask you again for help but this time in a slightly different case.

Sometimes it happens that the machine restores from hibernate but some keys aren't working and the system is generally not fully responsive.

After a bit of time X is then completely crashing. The output shows a bunch of segmentation faults.

Any ideas how I could fix that?

Using the UUID instead of the real path seems to solve my problem. I extended the wiki entry how to use pm-utils with UUID.

Regards
