I installed the 10.3 KDE one CD version over 10.0. Fn+f4 used to suspend to swap. That now does nothing. I can do suspend to swap from the display manager, KDM, but I need a way to do while logged in. pm-suspend looks like a low power state. I need a no power state. Looking at the syslog it looks like KDM is invoking swsusp, but there is no executable with that name in the path and locate finds nothing with that name. Suggestions? Pointers to info?

Have a look at /etc/sysconfig/powersave, and adjust these variables: EVENT_BUTTON_POWER="wm_shutdown" EVENT_BUTTON_SLEEP="suspend_to_disk" EVENT_BUTTON_LID_OPEN="ignore" EVENT_BUTTON_LID_CLOSED="screen_saver" There is a yast module for that, powermanagement. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Already done. In fact, I didn't have to do that manually, those are the defaults. I did track down that /usr/lib/hotkey-setup/thinkpad_hotkey_handler is logging the key combination and ignoring it. I'd settle for initiating from the command line. Note: I am using Blackbox windowmanager so KDE only or Gnome only solutions won't work. Some KDE & Gnome apps work in Blackbox, others don't behave well. Jeffrey -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If it doesn't produce an event, nothing happens.

I use the power button event to suspend, that's independent of windowmanager. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I changed the /etc/sysconfig/powersave/events line to EVENT_BUTTON_POWER="suspend_to_disk" from within the sysconfig editor in Yast. Pressing the power switch does a shutdown, not a suspend.

No, we switched to the pm-utils framework and so these settings are obsolete/have no effect anymore. See for example: http://en.opensuse.org/Projects_Powersave and for pm-utils http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils Thanks, Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If that is so, why does my 10.3 install contain them settings? Something in Yast is defining them. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes, e.g. have a loot at here: http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils pm-suspend will put your machine into suspend to ram, while pm-hibernate will put it into suspend to disk (what you probably looked for).

As you are fortunately using KDE, you can simply tell kpowersave to suspend to disk when you press your hibernate-key (fn+f4 in your case). Just rightclick on the kpowersave applet in your kicker, configure kpowersave and set your wishes in the key-event area on the "General Settings" tab.
