Click and hold on the shutdown button. You should get a pop-up menu letting you select either of those choices.

Now there's an improvement that we could just as well live without. Its error prone, obtuse, and un-necessary.

I don't know if I agree. While it's nice to have a separate button to suspend the system, the suspend to disk and suspend to RAM do shut the system down, and so could be said to belong there.

I've installed openSUSE 11.0 on two machines one 32bit and another 64bit and neither give the option to suspend to disk or ram. What should I check before I file a bugreport?

Click and hold on the shutdown button. You should get a pop-up menu letting you select either of those choices.

I happened to log in as root and it showed a separate suspend button (I'm using KDE 3.5, not 4.x) Suspend-to-disk was surprisingly fast. Are you guys sure there's no configuration I should check? Shouldn't any user be able to suspend the system like in 10.3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't know about Gnome as I don't use it as a desktop. I should have pointed out that I was talking about the location of the suspend options under KDE4. Looking under KDE3, you're right that the suspend options a missing from the normal users log-out box. I'll think about it and might file a bug report about this.

However, as a normal user, I can still suspend to disc or put the system into standby by using the kpowersave applet.

Kpowersave is also what I use if I want to do it by hand. Right Click it. However, you can also set kpowersave so that simply closing the lid (if its a laptop) will suspend to disk (or ram, your choice). That's what I do most often. My laptop gets cold booted maybe once a month, the rest of the time its just suspended.
