Re: [xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

I'm glad I took your advice. I installed 16.04 LTS, erasing everything else on the drive. It automatically made a swap partition the size of my RAM. I installed nothing else, ran "sudo pm-hibernate" and it worked, perfectly. Yes! I also turned on hibernation in the "Log Out" menu, and it

Re: [xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

Good point. So ... right now I'm installing 16.04 LTS to see what happens with that. I had no great reason for jumping to 17.04, so 16.04 will be fine if it works. Mike On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 8:58 PM, Istimsak Abdulbasir wrote: > > > On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 9:15 PM,

Re: [xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

I guess maybe I should eat my own words. My laptop running 14.04 will not hibernate. I even tried this: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/enable-hibernate-ubuntu-14-04/ to no avail. I stopped there as I really don't need to hibernate. I prefer suspend and watch my battery power to

Re: [xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

To clarify one thing: I'm not sure that 16.04 will hibernate on my laptop. Isn't hardware a big issue with hibernation? If we're sure that 16.04 will hibernate on my laptop, then I'll just kill 17.04 and install 16.04 LTS. That wouldn't be a big deal for me so I might just try it anyway. LTS

Re: [xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

Thanks for the reply, Istimsak. I had downloaded the hibernate package, which includes hibernate-disk, and I had noted the "tuxonice" issue with that package. The thing I wasn't clear on was whether there was some other way to make it work, without the kernel patch. I guess you are saying I

[xubuntu-users] hibernation in Xubuntu 17.04

I think my first attempt to post got stuck in moderation (recapped below). I am new to the list and I wasn't properly subscribed when I sent it. I've been working on this for many hours with only some progress. Suspend always worked. Hibernate (to disk) has not worked, yet. Using "Hibernate"

Re: [xubuntu-users] weird xscreensaver-command doings

JZM, if you don't mind me asking, what version of Xubuntu are you using. I am trying to replicate the error. However I am using Xubuntu 14.04 64bit LTS and I can't find the option to set a screensaver. Istimsak On Sun, Jun 25, 2017 at 8:38 PM, JMZ wrote: > Hi, > > Usually
