[opensuse] Fiddled and broke it
After installation of a virgin openSUSE11. on my laptop the sleep, suspend to ram and suspend to disk functions worked. The I started playing around with 'profiles' and I broke it. Was it something I installed? Does kpowersave conflict with powersave r powertop? or kthinkbat? Suggestions - other than a wipe & reinstall ?? -- An expert is someone who knows some of the worst mistakes that can be made in his subject and how to avoid them. --Werner Heisenberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Anton, There is never any need to wipe & reinstall Linux unless you are changing distributions. To wipe and reinstall for a minor hiccup is just throwing the baby out with the bath water... Before doing anything drastic, take a look at: Suspend to RAM http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Anton,

Suspend to RAM http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram
Let me try rephrasing that. s2ram and s2disk work from the command line. What doesn't work any more: * the menu -> leave -> suspend * the timed suspend from the screensaver This is running KDE4. I've tried both lithium (which keeps crashing!) and kpowersave as front-ends. The 'systemsettings' no longer has an 'advanced' icon for power control. -- The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. --Peter F.

Well, that explains it. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I haven't waded into the chili waters of KDE 4 except to look. It's my understanding that KDE4 issues should be posted to the factory list. I sure hope they have ported basket notepads over to KDE4 before 11.1 Sorry I can't help further. Cheers -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
