Not sure if it related to power management but pretty much every Toshiba laptop I have tried does not got to sleep when prompted but then the screen will not come back on. This is on all Linux systems not open suse and Toshiba do not make a driver AFAIK. Also I have noticed that when opens suse 12.3 with kde locks your computer after a few minutes idle time it shows the lock screen prompting for a password. If you press ANY button or just move the mouse it unlocks without you typing a password. Works fine if you manually lock. Paul Groves On 23 Aug 2013, at 11:20, "Peter" <gumb@linuxmail.org> wrote:

Hello OpenSuSers,
IMHO, we are missing an acoustic alarm as well as a really working hibernate or suspend function in 12.3.
It is very annoying being sudden logged out by the system powering down without the possibility to be warned in advance (by acoustic alarm) or to restart exactly from the point wherein you have been logged off by critical battery level.
So far I'm experiencing these issues in my opensuse 12.3.
Sorry to have to admit thhat ones again Windows appears to be more versatile on this matter.
What DE are you using? In KDE, you can go to the System Settings -> Power Management, select the Advanced Settings, and from there you have many options. Set at what point the battery is regarded as critical level, what action should be performed (e.g. suspend), and then by clicking on Configure Notifications and clicking the Battery Critical line, you can set to play a sound, show a popup, mark the taskbar entry or run a command.
Of course, if you're not using KDE your choices may well be more limited or require extra extensions to be installed to find equivalent functionality. Some DEs are geared towards a more minimalist approach for users who aren't so concerned with fine tuning and options galore. If you're expecting configuration options akin to Windows then you probably *should* be using KDE which, IMHO, surpasses Windows with its configurability. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
