Hi all. Things with Suse 12.2 were fine as far as suspend and shutdown were concerned on both my desktop and notebook computers. The arrival of 12.3 heralded a less than satisfactory behaviour. I have put up with this for some time, but enough! is enough!
I have done some reading and discover that suspend writes everything to Ram and then keeps the ram powered up to retain it all, a meagre power demand. Hibernate writes everything open to the swap partition and then on reboot should resume very quickly. Hibernate works for me for 5 minutes but not 8 hours, suspend is also flaky in that the recovery tends to hang with no display. Shutdown hangs on exit unless the previous command was suspend in which case it works as expected. Is this a case of ACPI not being consistent with the BIOS? Should I add "no_acpi" to the grub file? A new release of Suse is only 18 days away, should I see what the upgrade brings? I would be grateful for advice in this, Many thanks Andrew Greig _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
