Ah, this is indeed what I meant by "standard". I believe that the Sleep/Hibernate buttons in KDE, Gnome etc. use pm-hibernate et. al. and that most desktop distros use pm-utils on a kernel without the TuxOnIce patch. I actually thought TuxOnIce was obsolete until someone mentioned it on the nixos irc channel. ---snip--- > Verify that tuxonice can be found without touching the unclean disk. > (Eg use copykernels).

After a few hibernation cycles, pm-hibernate fails to hibernate for me so I thought I'd try out TuxOnIce. Previously, with Debian Lenny on the same laptop, I had various issues related to pm-suspend. On resume my external screen would blink, and after about a week Xorg memory usage would increase to over 1GB and it would take over 30mins to resume. Unfortunately, I can no longer use pm-suspend on NixOS as I have a BIOS problem (it auto-reboots when I shut down/hibernate/suspend ... also via Debian). It would be interesting to hear if anyone is successfully using TuxOnIce on nixos, the reason I call it's hibernation script with "--force" is because it fails to find a list of blacklisted kernel modules, which is something I may need to fix. I will inquire further with the TuxOnIce folks and report back if I get anywhere. Thanks a lot for all your help!
