Hi,
I can not hybernate the machine.
The system is 10.3 fully up to date.
There is no powersave anything in Yast, so I can not configure or enable
the thing.
I get no option in kpowersave to hybernate or suspend.
Pressing the "power" switch (my usual method to hybernate) produces a
complaint in the log:
Nov 4 02:36:12 nimrodel powersaved[5044]: WARNING (suspendToDisk:474) ACPI
S3 state not available
Command line 'pm-hibernate' hibernates and restores just fine. So the
machine and the system can hybernate, it just "thinks" it can't.
If in Gnome Power Management Preferences (which I have to call from the
command line, I can't find the menu entry for gnome-control), General tab,
Actions, I change "when the power button is pressed" to "Hibernate", now
when I press the power button the machine starts to hybernate (I get the
screen blanker) but doesn't go further. Later in the log, I find this:
Nov 4 17:06:44 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) Hibernating computer
because the power button has been pressed
Nov 4 17:06:46 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) Resuming computer
Nov 4 17:06:46 nimrodel gnome-power-manager: (cer) hibernate failed
It prompts for my password, and then I see a half hidden window on the
bottom right, tittled "Sleep Problem", that says "do not show this again"
"Visit" - the rest is hidden by the plastic edge of the monitor; I mean,
the message is off the screen. It doesn't say what the "problem" may be.
However, if I press "Visit", firefox opens in
<http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/>, Hal Quirk Site. It
mentions an "quirk-checker.sh" script, that I download and run:
nimrodel:~ # quirk-checker.sh
Checking your system...
CRITICAL ERROR: No supported distro
So... what do I do?
Where/how do I configure this in Yast, as I have no module for it?
How do I convince both gnome and kde to hybernate, as they think it is not
possible, when it is?
Where is the real configuration of this thing? The directory tree
under "/etc/pm/" contains no files. The directory tree
under "/etc/powersave/" contains things, but it is said to be obsolete and
ignored - however, Yast touched all files in there and they have recent
dates.
