Package: uswsusp Version: 1.0+20110509-1.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am using the save to disk option for swap files instead of swap partitions, following this guide: http://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation/Hibernate_Without_Swap_Partition It works fine the first time (Installing uswsusp after activating the swap file). But when I create a new swap file and run dpkg-reconfigure get newer configuration to effect in the kernel and uswsusp config, I get this message: 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 swap space. However, in some rare cases, this configuration may be intentional. Continue without a valid swap space? And then whatever I choose (y/n) the new configuration for uswsusp and kernel won't be generated. To work around this I have to first remove the uswsusp package and then install it again. Is there some other way to update the configs? I have tried using the "swap-offset" utility and edit uswsusp.conf manually, but that doesn't work as the kernel doesn't know the offset. I didn't go further with editing kernel files. I have written this script: https://github.com/crodjer/scripts/blob/master/hibernator.sh, mainly targeted to delete the swap file created on resume, to retrieve my disk space back. But for it to work, I have to run apt purge-install pair instead of reconfiguring. This will show you exactly what steps I am taking for creating and handling swap files. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages uswsusp depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii libc6 2.13-18 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii liblzo2-2 2.05-2 ii libpci3 1:3.1.7-12 ii libx86-1 1.1+ds1-7 Versions of packages uswsusp recommends: ii initramfs-tools 0.99 ii mount 2.19.1-5 uswsusp suggests no packages. -- debconf information: uswsusp/compute_checksum: false uswsusp/no_snapshot: uswsusp/suspend_loglevel: uswsusp/no_swap: uswsusp/resume_offset: 2293760 uswsusp/early_writeout: true uswsusp/image_size: 2.81697e+09 uswsusp/compress: true uswsusp/create_RSA_key: false uswsusp/snapshot_device: uswsusp/RSA_key_file: /etc/uswsusp.key uswsusp/max_loglevel: uswsusp/resume_device: /dev/sda1 uswsusp/shutdown_method: platform uswsusp/encrypt: false uswsusp/splash: true uswsusp/RSA_key_bits: 1024 uswsusp/continue_without_swap: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
