hello,

has anybody working suspend to ram on HP nx6125 notebook???

I have suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disc working pretty fine on my nx6125 under 10.1.

It's the resume-from-ram and resume-from-disc that won't work :-)

After upgrading to OpenSUSE 10.2, my suspend-to-disk (hibernate) and resume-from-disk works on my nx6125!

Suspend-to-Ram still seems to be a problem, it screws up the screen and after a while just pops back to the screen locked state.

I have seen the same thing. After resume, I often don't have and screen image at all. Its black. No back light. But the system is running. If I ctrl-alt-F2 to a shell, (its still black) and log in blind, and carefully type init 3, the screen lights up again. Init 5 and I can log in again. But of course I would have lost any unsaved work, so the usefulness of suspend to ram is largely lost. (My hardware vendor (dell) has a bios upgrade that is supposed to fix this but I have not applied that yet) . I've had mixed luck with suspend to ram over the years. Even on Windows. I've had both suspend to disk and suspend to ram working in SUSE since 9.3 but suspend to ram will often corrupt things and cause them to fail in strange ways. I always save my work when I am about to attempt either. Suspend to disk almost always works, except when on wireless, where I have to either shut down the wireless (jerk out the card or power the wireless transmitter off) before I suspend. If I don't I have to do it after I resume. I'm sure there is a Correct way to handle this, but this way seems quicker. I have found that Kubuntu did no better in this regard. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's it, I'm starting the download!

Does the OpenSUSE 10.2 DVD image include the first five discs or all six?

All 6, from what I gather from the footnote on that opensuse page. Usually I use ktorrent to fetch them, but yesterday I just used http (kget) and I had it in an hour. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Whooohooo! It works!

Ok, well, I haven't loaded any of the necessary drivers yet - fglrx, ndiswrapper (the bc43xx driver doesn't suppord my version of the wireless card yet), etc, but I'll get there. The basics are in place!

Then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the drivers from driver cd that came with the wireless card and put them in /lib/firmware. I also found that using NetworkManager was unstable with this driver whereas the older ifup works flawless. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I couldn't get the one to work on mine. Seems it doesn't like the 4.xx driver. Went looking for an earlier version, and it works like a charm. Actually loads during boot. On 10.0, with the ndiswrapper, I'd have to start it manually after the system booted. Never did figure out why.
