https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861983 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861983#c0 Summary: No way to suspend-to-disk/hibernate via regular GNOME GUI Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@suse.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: fcrozat@suse.com Found By: Product Management Blocker: --- It appears there is no way to suspend-to-disk/hibernate via the regular GNOME GUI. Sometimes one needs to hibernate, for example to swap a battery on a plane, to conserve power over suspend-to-RAM, swap in the DVD drive instead of the second battery. -- 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.

May be you can try this and see if it works for you: 1. Start the application "Tweak Tool" 2. On the left pane click on "Power" and select "Power button action" on the right pane to "hibernate" from the drop-down menu.
Thanks for the nice description and the suggestion, Atri. I followed your instructions and this works for me exactly as you describe. -- 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.

"yes, you can" :)
I'm trying, I'm trying. :-)
You need to press Alt key when the system menu is opened : the power icon will be replaced by a "pause" icon which will hibernate the system.
My bad, I should have mentioned that I had actually tried this and got suspend-to-RAM. I just tried again, after a system reboot, and it still results in suspend-to-RAM. -- 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.

I'm wondering if it is caused by the same issue as bnc#861976 ie not having enough swap space.. What is the status of upower --dump in that case ? -- 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.
