new laptop: how2 enable suspend / hibernate?
My old laptop died - a tiny little pop and it powered off. So I've lost my implementation reference. My new laptop is a Lenovo v15 G3 - installing debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso from a flash drive was trivially easy. Whoever worked on the how to install Debian from flash did an excellent job. But I can't suspend or hibernate the laptop :( Both options are greyed out. How do I enable suspend / hibernate? TIA, Lee

It is the nvidia proprietary driver which causes the issue. I have no problem to suspend and hibernate with the free driver "nouveau" but the free driver is buggy (see my other question on this list) so I cannot use it.

Re: pm-utils by default on Xfce for suspend/hibernate
I have PC with Debian 9 "stretch" x86_64 + Xfce and I never needed to have pm-utils installed, but hibernation\suspend feature works normally through xfce4 GUI once I set up all prerequisites for hibernation to work (such as at least working swap and initramfs resume variable). I also removed packages such as "uswsusp", "hibernate". I have used them previously, but now they are unnecessary for hibernation to work on my computer. How you start Xfce DE and did you installed "xfce4-power-manager" package?

pm-utils by default on Xfce for suspend/hibernate
On my computer (Debian sid), with a nvidia graphical card and the 340 proprietary driver, suspend/hibernate does not work with xfce tools. I means that xfce4-session-logout --suspend does not work for example. But pm-suspend or pm-hibernate works perfectly. And I can launch them as user because I edited my /etc/sudoers file with: my_user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate my_user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend So I would like to make pm-utils tools the default ones for suspend/hibernate in Xfce. pm-utils commands should be triggered when clicking "suspend/hibernate" on the xfce logout window. How can I do that?
Re: suspend / hibernate
I have obsession installed on my Debian 8.1 Fluxbox system and it works great. Check the package server repository with contrib and non-free added to the /etc/sources.list file (su nano) and update w/ apt-get update. Then download/install the obsession package. It will list two executables in /usr/bin. obsession-logout and obsession-exit. I use obsession-logout. It displays a selection with buttons for the various choices.

Look here: Bug #727645 [polkit-kde-1] polkit-kde-1: requires root password for hibernate, wrongly reports other users are logged https://bugs.debian.org/727645 Bug #717731 [upower] upower: authentification is required for hibernating while other users are logged in https://bugs.debian.org/717731 and more recently here: Bug#747939: systemd: prevents hibernation without password with open screen session in other login session https://bugs.debian.org/747939 I am not even sure that has been all reports of mine. I had it with a second KDE session, I have it with a screen session inside a KDE session, in any account it was so dire insane it isn´t even funny anymore. I still have the following polkit in there, cause with two KDE sessions open I think I still have the issue: merkaba:/etc/polkit-1> cat ./localauthority/50- local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla [Suspend/hibernate permissions] Identity=unix-group:sudo Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple- sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions ResultAny=yes ResultInactive=yes ResultActive=yes I think any asking for a password on a *single seat* machine for hibernation is a bug, is a bug, is a bug. I am the only one with a keyboard on it, and I am the only one allowed to SSH into it, so I am the only one permitted to hibernate the system. And if I do this from a unlocked desktop session, I am authenticated already, so please just leave me *alone*. I dislike software that tries to be more intelligent as me. I dislike policies like this limiting my freedom. And I invite you to comment or add to the bug reports I mentioned, or if they are closed already, and you still have an issue, open a new one and tell me. So far it feels to me that I have been the only one yelling to the developers regarding that dire policy insanity. Its as insane as requiring a root login for Linus daughter in order to set up a printer in some OpenSUSE version. I may one day try again without the above file to make policykit policy sane. It might even be important, cause if Jessie gets released with that insanity, I can only imagine the uproar here on this list, in bug tracker, and elsewhere. Well, maybe it has been fixed meanwhile, I didn´t try removing the file for a while. Cause honestly I couldn´t be bothered with this kind of dire insanity anymore. But on any account, people, please report bugs. Please make your voice regarding systemd and/or policykit troubles be heard. As long as I am one of the few reporting things there… chances are I might get ignored again. Of course it also depends on the tone. Express your anger and your frustration in a "I am" way? Sure. But avoid accusing or insulting people. So please don´t just use above work-around – or policy *correction* – also voice your concern, and if it is a simple "I have this issue two with this and that…" mail to one of the existing bug reports.

First, IMHO startx is better than booting directly to GUI. Secondly, now that stopping X gets you to the command prompt, you can type whatever shutdown/reboot/poweroff command you want.

All roads to suspend/hibernate lead through systemd?
No, this is not a troll (seems like that is necessary to state up front). I have been experimenting with dropping systemd from my laptop running Sid but find that even with xfce4-power-manager suspend nor hibernate are available any more unless I install the policykit-1 package recommended by the upower package which depends on libpam-systemd which, even if I install systemd-shim, also installs the systemd package as a dependency, even though it won't run as PID 1.

Suspend/hibernate menu options missing from KDE
Dear Debian User, I am using a Jessie, and largely have KDE 4.11. I am trying to configure my KDE to allow sleep on lid close and such goodness. In the Power Management section of my KDE System Settings, I am unable to find any sleep/suspend options. Likewise, the K Menu's Leave section also has only "Restart" and "Shut Down" in the relevant sections. However, sudo pm-suspend and sudo pm-hibernate and sudo pm-suspend, indeed, do what I want. >From searching online, I found that the output of both of these commands in "false": qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagementorg.freedesktop.PowerManagement.CanHibernate qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.CanSuspend In addition, my /etc/default/acpi-support has this: ACPI_SLEEP=true ACPI_HIBERNATE=true LOCK_SCREEN=true LID_SLEEP=true #LID_SHUTDOWN=true DISPLAY_DPMS=xset XRANDR_OUTPUT=LVDS #DISPLAY_DPMS_NO_USER=true However, closing the lid only locks my screen, and doesn't "suspend" my computer.

It sounds like a possible bug from one of the kde workspace packages. AFAIK, those buttons are not meant to be editable by the user and my guess is that both call some kind of d-bus command (→ powerdevil) to suspend/hibernate the system which is failing here.

KDE suspend / hibernate just executes the screensaver
Hi, I have posted the same question today in german language. Sorry for that. Here it is in english. I am running Mint LMDE with incoming repos = basically debian testing. On the commandline I can suspend and hibernate the computer with pm-suspend and pm-hibernate. But when I click on the Suspend or Hibernate button in the KDE exit dialog only the screensaver gets started. What is missing?

I'm not sure why apt-listbugs didn't howl when I upgraded to 0.8-1.2, but so far, I haven't been bitten by these bugs - I guess that I've been lucky. In any event, when I originally wrote 's2disk', I really meant the in-kernel suspend-to-disk functionality, which can be invoked in various other ways. Moreover, in the most common use case for suspending, where a machine will be disconnected from its external power source, it's not a great idea to use suspend-to-ram without a working suspend-to-disk backup, since if the internal battery drains before the external power source is reconnected, the system will crash, with possible data loss, etc. Celejar -- foffl.sourceforge.net - Feeds OFFLine, an offline RSS/Atom aggregator mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Suspend/Hibernate under Debian
Hi, I'm trying to get Suspend/Hibernate works with my Debian Laptop. Please recommend a good article/blog/site for me to follow. I've done some extensive search, but it's still not working. I first tried suspend to ram (because I know suspend to disk need extra work), but the symptom is similar to Laptop won't resume from suspend to ram http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/370058/focus=370097 My case: the machine won't resume from a suspend to ram. It's not just a problem with a blank screen upon resuming; the machine actually gets completely frozen. I can hear the hard disk spinning though. and I can see the the wireless LED come on when resuming, then nothing else. Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and even Caplock keys won't respond. Following suggestions from it, I did PM_DEBUG=1 pm-suspend (as root) and check the log file /var/log/pm-suspend.log, and it seems to have suspended fine. The last several meaningful lines are: + [ Thu Jan 28 17:48:01 EST 2010: performing suspend = -n ] + printf %s\n Thu Jan 28 17:48:01 EST 2010: performing suspend Thu Jan 28 17:48:01 EST 2010: performing suspend + sync + do_suspend + echo -n mem And after that all garbage. The Suspend/resume works out of box in Unbunto, on my Acer Aspire (AS5536). I wasn't able to test Hibernation under Unbunto because it is not available. Please help. Thanks PS. I'll quote one page that I found that precisely express my frustration: "I’ve been working with Linux for ten years now. I have seen issues come and I have seen them go. But there’s one issue that has always surprised me because it just seems to never go away: Suspend/Hibernate. I am always so surprised about this because it just seems like a fundamental issue on laptops - and let’s face it, laptops are standard issue for many people - you close the lid, the laptop suspends. ... it seems to me that hibernate and suspend IS a need that should be given a high priority. And it seems it is starting to gain some traction. There’s a new site called the Ubuntu Brainstorm that allows users to add ideas for Ubuntu and vote up or down ideas that are already posted (as well as comment on ideas)..." http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=175&tag=rbxccnbtr1 -- 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".

I too once looked at KHotkeys and couldn't figure out how it was supposed to be used. I managed to configure a suspend D-Bus action set up as follows: Remote application: org.kde.powerdevilsystem Remote object: /modules/powerdevil Function: suspend Arguments: 2 Hibernate is set up exactly the same but the argument is 4 instead of 2. There are also other options available (shutdown, etc.) - see the enum IdleAction in PowerDevil's source code kdebase/workspace/powerdevil/daemon/PowerDevilDaemon.h -- David Jarvie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Does PowerDevil have a dbus interface for those actions? If either of those is yes, then you could use KHotkeys, which allows you to create global shortcuts for arbitrary commands.

suspend/hibernate in gnome-lenny
Hello, I'm trying to make my laptop (Dell Precision M65) suspend and hibernate in gnome. The problem is that I can't make gnome to use s2ram/s2disk commands automatically. I can suspend and hibernate from a terminal but I can't do it through gnome applets or the shutdown button (when it asks you if you want to suspend,hibernate,reboot,cancel or shutdown). I' ve read that tweaking the scripts in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux could do the trick, but it doesn't work. I've changed hal-system-power-suspend-linux to use a custom script using s2ram but it simply ignores it. The only thing I can get is a nice popup error message. I remember having done this before in other installations of lenny/etch and being able to suspend/hibernate but now it is imposible. Is it that gnome-power-manager doesn't uses hal-scripts anymore? Any ideas? fray diógenes PD: excuses for my English... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If am one can help with this problem it be very appreciated [.] After doing some research and testing I still have not been able to stop the initial system load when coming out of suspend / hibernate. The commands 'ps aux' and 'top' are to showing me what is causing the system load. from the proc(5) man page: /proc/loadavg The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue (state R) or waiting for disk I/O (state D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are the same as the load average numbers given by uptime(1) and other programs. While your machine is suspended, isn't every process waiting? So if your machine has 150 processes running and a normal load of 0, and the suspend/resume occupies the processor for 0.1 minutes = six seconds, the one-minute load average should jump up to 15? Even if no processes are waiting after the resume, the one-minute average won't go back down for ... a minute. Have you actually tried a benchmark, instead of looking at the system load? Something like $ for i in $(seq 10) ; do date ; time head -c 100 /dev/urandom | md5sum ; done 2>&1 | grep ^real $ sudo suspend ; for i in $(seq 10) ; do date ; time head -c 100 / dev/urandom | md5sum ; done 2>&1 | grep ^real This would give you an idea of how long soon after the suspend your machine gets back to its normal speed. The "load average" may not mean what it usually does here. I haven't followed the thread closely, apologies if this is duplicate information.

So at the moment I am still at a loss what is cause the high system load and how to find out what is, anyone have any advice to finding this info out please. And the other problem I have noticed is that when I come out of suspend or hibernate it does not notice whether I am I am on AC or not and if I am on AC and come out suspend or hibernate it set my HDD power management to 128 instead of 254.

I used to often see CPU load at 100%, and for more than a few seconds (indefinitely?), and IIRC, top showed that it was DBUS / HAL (I don't recall exactly which process it was, and I don't have a very good understanding of DBUS / HAL). Doing something like '/etc/init.d/dbus restart' would drop the load back to normal. I don't think I've seen the problem recently. Currently at 2.6.25.

I can't help, but I can confirm it. I see it on my Linux Certified laptop, which is some kind of Asus repackage job.

locking screen after suspend/hibernate
I want my screen to be locked when resuming from suspend/hibernate. I don't use any desktop environment, so I tried uncommented the following line from /etc/hibernate/common.conf : LockXtrLock yes and installed xtrlock. This does nothing, though. A little script on resume would do just fine, I suppose but I don't know how to make hibernate to call it. Any hint? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Help with suspend/hibernate in Gnome Power Manager
Hi
Murphy strikes again, it seems. Just as I had posted the message below,
I found another thing on google, which led me to the solution: I wasn't
a member of the powerdev group. Gnome Power Manager shows the Suspend
and Hibernate entries anyway, but doesn't do anything if the logged in
user is not a member of the powerdev group.
It works now.
Next thing is to let the battery drain and see if it hibernates
automatically in time.

I have an issue with suspend and hibernate that I haven't been able to
resolve alone.
The pm-hibernate script works out of the box from the command line as
root. The system resumes correctly.
The pm-suspend script works with the --force flag, again out of the box
from the command line as root. The laptop isn't listed in the database
of s2ram, but it works nonetheless. That was easily solved with a file
in /etc/pm/config.d/s2ram with the line:
S2RAM_OPTS=--force
Again, the system resumes correctly.
As such, suspend and hibernate works, only it doesn't when activated
through Gnome Power Manager
If I try to suspend though the context menu of the applet, I immediately
get a dialog with the text:
Sleep Problem
Your computer failed to suspend.
Check the help file for common problems.
This happens so fast that no attempt at suspending can be made.
The website linked hasn't helped me find a solution.

/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-zepto.fdi

the laptop in HAL. After a restart of HAL I get this:
# lshal | grep quirk
power_management.quirk.none = true (bool)

so HAL should have picked up my entry. I tried adding dpms_on too,
without any difference. Suspend/resume works with that option too.
At this point I haven't found anything else to try. It seems that Gnome
Power Manager simply won't recognise my laptop.
The quirk-checker script isn't much of a help:
