Hello,

I am noticing that hibernate function on opensuse 12.3 is not working as expected: today my notebook has powered-off due battery charge has gone below the limit and system has simply switched-off instead to hibernate.

I red quickly some threads on regard and I applied a modification on suspend.conf by enabling "thread=y" but nothing has solved the root problem.

I would expect when hibernate works correctly to restore the job from the point it has been freezed and have not to wait a lot of time for hibernate process take to attempt something that resolves to the need of rebooting the system again.

Any comments/instructions on this problem?

Thanks.

Cheers,

Hibernate is not suspend (Suspend is also known as sleep). Two different things.

Hibernate is going to take longer to resume than suspend.

What desktop are you using?

In KDE you can set critical battery level in System Settings, Power Management / Advanced. In there you can also set the desired action to take when critical battery level is reached. It might be that it is set to shutdown, or it might be that your critical battery level is set so low that the system does not have the time to properly hibernate.

Hi John, Thanks for your reply. I'm using Gnome 3.6.2 as desktop environment and there I set power-namagement to hibern when battery reaches critical value not sure if I can set a limit treshold there.

Can you hibernate/suspend the machine from the menu?

Along those lines, do you swap space setup? Lots of people say they no longer setup swap, but to hibernate you have to be able to push all your ram to swap. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If I'm not wrong I should have 4G of swap but I can verify this.

It is required a minimum amount of swap or just "some swap" in order to hibernate works?

Tks.

Cheers,

I don't know the precise answer, but at a minimum swap has to be 1x the size of ram. (Or maybe hibernation compresses the data it is writing to swap?) If you're actually using swap just prior to hibernation, then it has to be ram + swap in use. My general rule for laptop's is 1.5x ram and it has been working for me.

Generally the recommended amount is: available swap space = 2 * available RAM space. This because when off, all of your processes virtual memory space in use must be copied somewhere in order to recover its state in a second stage. Note it's recommended: nothing prevents you to have a virtual memory space in use bigger than the recommended. But usually it's a very good trade-off. -- Marco -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes/No,

Finally, only by clicking again on power button to reboot is the solution.

Well, your problem is not that the machine hibernates when battery is low, but that you cannot hibernate at all. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
