 Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 9:06 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Xfce4 Power Manager Hibernate |
 |
|
Hi,
I've followed the Unofficial Gentoo Wiki Userspace Suspend to implement hibernation on an Asus UX21e because xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager always had the "Hibernate" option greyed out/unavailable. Suspend to RAM worked fine using this and it could control the same on lid closure. This was ok, but it only lasted in suspend for a day or so and given its got an SSD I wanted to hibernate to disk as start up shouldn't be too much slower and power efficiency a lot longer given its turned off.
Hibernates and suspends fine from the command line after following the HowTo (including custom initramfs), but still no Hibernate option in the Xfce4 Power Manager utility.
I found this thread but nothing really that was of any use.
I get the following suggesting that I'm authorised to hibernate but can't for some reason, although based on the above linked thread consolekit is both active and local as required.
| Code: |
$ cat tmp/xfce4-power-manager-dump

Any ideas much appreciated.
Cheers,

Did some digging, and it appears "Hibernate" (to disk) isn't working as the following output from hibernate shows...

Appears I made a fundamental oversight and didn't enable 'hibernate' support in the kernel, Ooops! 
Think I might try out tuxonice though as it supports using a swap file rather than having to have a swap partition (which I'm not using anywhere else and as the laptop only has 128Gb SSD I could do with every bit of space possible).
