Neil, et al -- ...and then David T-G home said... % % ...and then Neil Rickert said... % % % % In addition to what others have said, you should also check % % "/etc/default/grub". Perhaps use: % % % % grep resume /etc/default/grub % ... % I see why I don't see that on my desktop, too: % % davidtg@gezebel:~> grep resume /etc/default/grub % ### GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash=silent resume=/dev/disk/by-label/gezebel-swap mitigations=auto quiet" % GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=/dev/disk/by-label/gezebel-swap mitigations=auto quiet" [snip] No, I *don't* see, because I got rid of the splash rather than the resume. No wonder I didn't write that down ... The first thing I'll do is get rid of resume= and see how it goes. If successful, that will leave me scratching my head as to why gezebel DOES look but DOESN'T take 90 seconds, but I won't scratch for too long. If not, then I'm no worse off than I am now. So expect an update ... :-) PS -- here's another place where I'd rather not be writing in /etc/default but instead to a user-controlled dir that is intended for local prefs :-/ HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt
