So every boot you have a fresh swap. So PLEASE don't disable swap encryption when the password is left empty since I then don't have an encrypted swap or I have to type another password at boot! This is in my opinion the way it is meant to be. Concerning hybernate and encrypted swap, if you seach the internet you will find it is impossible to hybernate to an encrypted swap. I made a workaround by creating an extra swap partition that is not used by the system. I add this swap to grub and added a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d which will swapon this swap as the first thing when hibernate is started, and swapoff when the system is resumed. I have tested it and this works great. Of course you would want to change resume so it encrypts the hybernate image to the swap, it doesn't make sense to encrypt your swap and then use an unencrypted hybernate image with all your running stuff open for any visitor. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
