There is apparently a really odd problem with Lubuntu 12.04 ppc and powermanagement/hibernate/standby/close lid:
First i'd like to assure we speak about the same things so just to be sure: Hibernate (german: Ruhezustand) = computer writes the actual content to a file on the disk and the powers down Standby (german: Bereitschaft) = computer writes the actual content into ram and then shuts down the screen but stays power on in energy saving mode Shutdown screen Dark out screen Is that, in non professional words more or less correct? My setup is (PB G4 2003): pbbuttonsd is installed (by default) and started (in addition i installed powerprefs, which is a gui to it) xfce powermanagement was installed and activated Now, when i go to Ruhezustand (Hibernate) the computer after doing something goes down correctly but with the messed up screen like it has when shutting down (so i cannot read what the computer is doing). To wake him up i have to push the power-on button. I hear the Macintosh chime, then comes up to the screen the yaboot specific infos and then for a while nothing happens and then, at the end, there appears a small white stripe on a black something like 5 pixels high in the ground of the screen for ca. have the width of the screen. I thought, that might be the messed up Login dialog after turning back from a hibernate (which in my experience is different with debian is different from the login-screen and sometimes need to press the space key and typing in the pswd a second time) and i tried in several ways to do what i did in debian (without seeing anything, obviously but nada). I have to hard boot the machine. This is true either using the Hibernate option in the xfce powermanagement dialog or using the Hibernate option in the Lubuntu shutdown dialog. Now, i tried in several ways to play around this problem by cutting out in some way the Hibernate option and to leave only the option RAM in pbbuttonsd or xfce powermanagement, but i don't have any success. In xfce powermanagement the option is not given and pbbuttonsd seems to have no effect. Any idea, what might be wrong there? For sure, as it is it is not a viable status, since the computer, when i'm leaving it alone, after 1 hr or so goes down in any case what practically means it "crashes" on me . . . It would be already great, if the logout/hibernate/shutdown screen (and the console!!!!!) wouldn't be messed up but readable. But, may be someone could guide me to where, if at all, a misfunction like this might be protocolled in a logfile. So i could go there and have you have a look on it.
