Listmates, I had never tried suspend to ram before this last thread came across the list. I thought I would give it a try on my relatively new Toshiba Satellite P205D. So following http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram I issued: s2ram -f and I got the following message: 18:42 alchemy~/linux/apps/phoronix-test-suite> s2ram -f fgconsole: getconsolefd: Invalid argument Switching from vt-1 to vt1 chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Bad file descriptor VT_WAITACTIVE: Bad file descriptor Segmentation fault That looked terrible, so I thought, well, why not try it as root: sudo s2ram -f the screen goes dark and the computer appeared to go to sleep perfectly (little orange blinking light as expected) I wait a few seconds and push the power button, and the system comes right back as it should with the following on the screen: 03:27 alchemy~/linux/apps/phoronix-test-suite> sudo s2ram -f Switching from vt7 to vt1 fbcon fb0 state 1 fbcon fb0 state 0 switching back to vt7 That's excellent. Now why do I have to be root to do it? What permissions can I change so I can suspend it without root privileges? Thanks in advance for any help. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
