suspend to disk unreliable?

If you are not using GNOME, what is your DE, if any? and how do you send the machine to hibernate? However, the documentation refers to using Gnome --- which I don't use --- and the preferred method being suspend to RAM. I don't want to suspend to RAM: What if the power fails? And why should I have to keep the RAM powered? Suspend to ram is a different thing. Computer gets into a power-saving state but is not powered off so a power failure will lead the machine down. You need to keep ram powered because all the processes of the computer are dumped into ram... and remember ram is volatile: if not powered, no info can be stored and kept there :-) Is there a good documentation about suspend to disk for Debian? I only found the above page :-? Suspend to disk (hibernation) uses swap space to put the image data there when you trigger the hibernation scripts, so you need to have this value adjusted in order to success. That's what I mean: The kernel should set the default to the available RAM, if that much swapspace is actually required. I'd think the kernel devs would have made it so if it was really needed ... It's not a kernel task, but a installer task, I guess.

Once I got past the missing wireless tools and drivers things have been pretty smooth. However, there is an oddity in GDM regarding screen locking which I cannot seem to figure out. With the default settings, using gnome-power-manager, whenever I close the lid the computer suspends and the screen locks. However, when I open the screen it does not give me a password box or any such thing, but rather the screen is just black. This persists until I manually switch to a console and back to F7 or F8, whichever is running X, and only then will the expected password box appear. Have you tried hitting a key or wiggling the mouse, instead of switching to a console and back? I have looked through the seemingly related settings but can find nothing which seems wrong or unexpected. I have currently turned off the screen-locking selection in the screensaver settings which keeps things from locking up, in both ways, and so does not ask for a password. This is okay, though I would rather like to have things working in the optimal way. There's always xscreensaver.

1997? That looks quite old. Maybe you will need to use the old bzip
decompressor :-?
Here's what I got: http://fi.aminet.net/util/arc/
There's the source of bzip 0.21 you can download. It even compiles on
amd_64, you only need to comment out line 2706:
Bool notABogStandardFile ( Char* name )
{
IntNative i;
struct MY_STAT statBuf;
i = MY_LSTAT ( name, statBuf );
if (i != 0) return True;
// if (MY_S_IFREG(statBuf.st_mode)) return False;
return True;
}
Then compile with
# gcc -o bzip bzip.c -O3 -wall
and decompress your files with something like:
# cat test.bz |./bzip -d |less
Not ideal because it might not be reliable, but easy enough, and it
works so far :) I'll sure keep that source at hand now.

Mow I'm wondering what to use instead. man pm-action will tell. /usr/share/doc/uswsusp/README.Debian The s2ram tool allows you to suspend the system to RAM and restore the state of the graphics adapter after the resume automatically. For this purpose it uses the code out of vbetool and radeontool utilities, needed for handling quite a lot of graphics cards after the resume from RAM. It seems you are reading the wrong paragrah... you should be interested in s2disk, instead :-) Then why doesn't uswsusp depend on either vbetool or radeontool? Dunno. I don't use that tool. /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/README How do hooks work? * You put an executable file in /etc/pm/sleep.d. When suspend or hibernate is called, several things happen: So this readme doesn't tell you how to suspend to disk ... There's a package hibernate, but that seems to be yet another tool for the same purpose. /etc/pm/ is only a directory containing other directories. man pm-action then :-) You don't need any additional packages to use hibernate, just how to use the ones you already have installed. You have to read. Do I have to take it that there's no Debian way of suspending to disk (unless you use gnome maybe)? Why? Just take it as you need to read the docs, test and try. It's a feature that should work out of the box, like another option for the shutdown command (shutdown -std now, for example, to suspend to disk) ... Yes, but power management is managed different on every DE. In fact, hibernation and suspension can fail on many systems as not every piece of hardware has been previously tested and certified to perform well with such actions :-/ Anyway, I agree that the automatic installer should ask the user about hibernation/suspend tasks and if the user wants to enable such option, it should adjust the swap space to fit the power savings needs. It would have to do that not only on installation. What if you install it and use it and then a year or half a year later you upgrade from, let's say, 4GB to 8GB of RAM? You'd have to remember that at some point, you had to set up the suspend to disk stuff according to your RAM-size and adjust ... Not everybody uses all the possibilities an operating system can provide. I for one do not use hibernation neither suspension at all, so yes, if you are installing an OS you should be in the know of all these options and how to configure them properly, provided that you want to make use of them :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Under certain circumstances, it's often better to have a 32bit firefox, 32bit java browser plugin, et cetera. This is b/c the 64bit Adobe Flash plugin tends to be... hard to come by (the beta was closed recently). I wouldn't be overly concerned, unless you find an app that is broken on 64bit (an old one from Debian Lenny [and older] is procinfo-18. Squeeze replaces it with [my] procinfo-ng. I really should make another release of procinfo-ng). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Actually, looking at that command, I'm sure I could combine the grep,
awk and tr in a single awk command. This was just quick and dirty. Of
course, replace 'iceweasel' with the package(s) you are searching for.
And, I just noticed I used one of my apt aliases.

gpart can retire now
Hi, [sorry about the cross-posting first] The gpart package that find lost partitions, has anyone try to test if it still works? Luckily my whole partition table is wiped clean by a running away Windows app, and I get the chance to test it. The result? -- After 1 hour and 25+ minutes of scanning, gpart was able to found 2 NTFS partitions, and 1 Linux swap partition. That's all it can find, out of my 15 partitions. I.e., none of my Linux partitions are recovered. Worse, it *wrongly* reports all found partitions as primary partitions. Yes, after nearly 1 hour and half none-stop HD led blinking, the only thing that I get is next to garbage. Then I gave testdisk a try, as a last line of defense in my current miserable situations. My first choice, quick scan, brought back all my partitions in a split of a second. 1 hour and half running with next to garbage finding vs instant accurate recovery -- I think we can conclude that gpart can retire now. The longer it is in our Debian repo, the more victims will it draw. To backup myself, this is taken from http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/57748 my harddrive recently had problems at the partition table and searches brought me to your article as well as to gpart's link. But gpart did not work for me (gives errors that it failed to determine the sector size, even when I specify it). Given my drive is newer, I am not surprised that it did not work, because gpart appears not having be updated since 2001, and it still at version 0.1. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: grub2 and USB
Yes. Search for usb device not seen by grub in the grub-devel ml - dec. 2009.

Re: Compiling kernel took a lot of disk space.
Thank you guys. I have not follow Stephen's guide, but I figured the reason out. It seems like an ext3's fault. The space (i-node wise) was used 5.x GB, but the actual space (data wise) was used only 1 GB. So a lot of space was just empty and wasted. I attached another disk to get the job done. PS: Certainly this is not my real name. 8-) I am not from an English country. Some people cannot pronounce my name right. So I use this pseudonym.

The Debian kernel team doesn't particularly care for it, and if you you read it all the way through, particularly step 10, you can probably guess why. But Manoj Srivastava, author and maintainer of kernel-package, liked it well enough to include an earlier version of this web page in kernel-package itself. The above link, however, will always be the most current and up-to-date version of the document.
