https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=266968 Summary: initiate suspend to disk out of standby mode Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: estellnb@lycos.at QAContact: qa@suse.de It would certainly be very expedient if the system could autonomously initiate a suspend to disk after having stayed in standby or s2ram mode for a certain amount of time: * If the battery had already been low and the laptop was accidentally forgotten in s2ram mode for a week or more the computer is likely to welcome its owner with a disk recovery on startup (runs out of battery; like a crash). * If the computer is provided with an external power supply but does not have any battery and its user forgets that he had just initiated a suspend to ram rather than a suspend to disk he may accidentally unplug the laptop to take it away with the result that everything is lost (unplugged->power supply interrupted; would not mind if suspended to disk). * Leaving a computer in s2ram mode for too long is a waste of energy. The thing about these incidents is that the user does often not know for how long he will be away when initiating a suspend to ram. solution: A time counter should automatically wake the machine up after a certain time in standby mode (e.g. half a day or several hours) to resuspend persistently onto disk. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
