https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309197 Summary: Beta3 clicking on "suspend to disk" has no effect Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: njglin@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Depends on: 309196 Found By: Other Beta3 - clicking on "suspend to disk" has no effect ----------- Installed from scratch Beta3 x86-64 from KDE CD + nonOSS + some additional packages from default on line repository. During installation updated the system with all updates except some for Intel only something that does not apply to my HW. System is Gigabyte MB with 690G and SB600 chipset. Video on board ATI X1250, using analog monitor. SATA HD and DVD/CD. HD has 4 primary partitions. openSUSE 10.3 Beta3 is on sda2. sda1 is future for windows, sda3 has Freespire 2.0, sda4 is NTFS for data storage. Note there is no swap partition. RAM is 4GB. When click on "suspend to disk" there is nothing happening.

In that case suspend to disk will not work since the swap space is used for suspending. We should give a sensible error message - so let's assign it on for this. But the general problem is not solvable. -- 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.

However, this is more complicated than it might sound like :-) -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309197#c4 --- Comment #4 from Jacek Glinkowski <njglin@hotmail.com> 2007-09-11 07:19:21 MST --- Hm. I wanted to avoid swap related HD activity to gain performance and I thought I compensated for lack of swap with having 4GB RAM. 1. Would be nice to be able to suspend to a file on a designated partition. 2. If 1. is too much dev for the limited time then is there way to have swap used ONLY FOR SUSPEND but not during normal operation? Maybe to have "suspend" partition rather then "swap" partition? -- 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.

You don't gain performance by having no swap, no matter how many memory you have. 2.) you can use suspend to a file, you have to set it up by yourself, however, and it is far from trivial. See /usr/share/doc/packages/suspend/HOWTO, but beware that you will have to adapt your initrd to make this work! 3.) Yes, you could define your swap partition in /etc/fstab so that it does not get swapon'ed automatically during boot, then add a pm-utils-hook that does swapon /dev/$yourswap before actually suspending and swapoff /dev/$yourswap after resuming. See http://en.opensuse.org/Pm-utils on how to do that. Note that it needs to run before 30s2disk-check during suspend, so make sure that it is named e.g. "29swapon". -- 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 will improve the error messages for future versions. -- 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.
