I never turn off my laptop so I never noticed this, Debian never ask me my user password ! I reboot my pc several time to be sure. However, If I lock the pc or hibernate, then Debian ask me my user password.
View 4 Repliesrunning 10.04 Netbook edition. I would like my screen to lock after the netbook goes to sleep but NOT after it enters the screensaver. is this possible? i use my laptop to read in the university a lot and to save power tell it to go into black screensaver after a minute of inactivity. if i enable the lock option i have to enter the password each and every time after the black screensaver activates. but if i deactivate this option and then put the netbook into sleep/hibernate mode it doesn't ask for a password (which i would like) is there any way configure separate passwords for these instances or are they firmly linked?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I was using AntiX, I liked how I could just type "xlock" in a terminal and it would lock the screen until I came back and typed my password. I saw that there was no "xlock" package, so googling around, I saw it was replaced with xlockmore and xlockmore-gl, neither of which there seems to be a package for in the Squeeze repositories. I tried xscreensaver, but I prefer the simplicity of xlock (and I like that it doesn't leave a daemon runnig when not in use). Is there a way to safely install it, or should I just be looking for an alternative?

My 2 year old daughter likes to "type" on the computers in the house. In actuality she is raking her fingers across the keyboard. This frequently ends up with her adding dozens of panels to the desktop and/or removing existing widgets. Is there a better way to lock the widgets that isn't easily undone with a keystroke, like a password or a settings file?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat's the easiest way to make a given file/folder (or multiple files) require a password upon opening moving copying etc, without encrypting the file/archive. The password should at least be manually defined upon establishing it, and preferably it could be modified.
I'm aware of the community belief that this is redundant. I don't want to know how to start from scratch a different way, or why I should or shouldn't do this or that. Just how to password lock a file/folder regardless of your feelings on the matter lol.
Is there anyway to make the lock screen password (accesible when clicking the power icon) different from the username password ?Or to lock the screen, with a different, User defined password, seperate to the Default one ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using pm-hibernate, and would like to reboot the machine after it's done hibernating, rather than having the machine turn off.Is there a way to do this with pm-hibernate, or any other Linux hibernate thing?
View 2 Replies View Relatedpm-hibernate and pm-suspend only work the first time after booting into runlevel 5. This behavior is reproducable. pm-hibernate starts out correctly but then hangs the system bevore it gets to save the image from memory to disk. The computer locks up and does not power down.
pm-suspend: on wake up there is no signal on the screen (pm-suspend called from X environment or text terminal shows same result). I spent some time reading information on s2ram s2disk and added the follwing options:
S2RAM_OPTS="-f" in
/etc/pm/config.d/00meine.config
(display adapter is GForce4 nvidia with the closed source nvidia driver for accel)
splash = n in
/etc/suspend.conf - to get some more information during the suspend / hibernate.
Any ideas to get pm-hibernate / pm-suspend to work more than one time after boot??? Hibernate would be a great start for daily work and for energy saving.
horstausdemwald PS: In runlevel 3 pm-hibernate works various times from a text terminal. Under the same condition pm-suspend leads to a scrambled text terminal after resuming (some help on this: using vga=normal in Grub). The computer continues to work - though without visual aid - when the text terminal is scarambled. For example Runlevel 5 can be called blindly from the text terminal.
I've re-partitioned my existing windows xp disk to do a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. The installation went fine and I am able to use both the operating systems just fine.
But when I boot into windows xp I donot have the hibernte/sleep options available anymore.
debug the issue and get back those options ?
Note: I have made the windows as default boot option in grub.
I had a dual boot umbutu 9.04 & xp Toshiba laptop satellite A15-S1292, (old bad battery). I use it mostly in linux but had been working in Windows, it may have hibernated and the next boot may have been to Linux. Now it boots straight into Ubuntu login screen that looks like it is may be returning from hibernate (don't use it normally). On boot don't see the normal BIOS announcement or screen allowing the selection of boot device. Doesn't boot Live CD from CD Rom or Suber Grub CD. When I examined the Windows mount receive warning that it could not be mounted as it was hibernated. I followed the suggested mount -t -ntfs -3g -o remove_hyberfile /dev/sda1 and can now access the windows partition. Boots still return to the same linux login screen. Don't seem to be able to boot from anything else.

Although it's worked very consistently in the past, since moving to the newer kernels (3.16 or 4.0) on strech/sid, resuming from hibernation seems to randomly work -- sometimes it loads the image from swap, but other times it simply does a fresh boot. To troubleshoot, I've increase the size of swap and then updated 'fstab', the initramdisk, and grub -- but still no reliable behavior...

Is there an "official" way to add suspend and hibernate functionality to the KDE logout/shutdown menu in Squeeze? What packages do I need?
ps. My computer is not a laptop - it's a normal desktop machine
I have Debian 6 (squeeze), I have also seen this under Ubuntu (can not remember how I fixed it).
I can hibernate, but when I switch on the system cold boots (it does not restore previous session).
Note suspend works fine. Have looked in /var/log/pm-suspend.log Shows for each suspend suspend block a resume suspend block, but hibernate hibernate' is not followed by resume hibernate` ( I assume that this is not correct. )
Update on what I have discovered: I have discovered that the uswsusp package is missing from debian squeeze. I could get it from testing or unstable repository, but have to be careful about not pulling in other dependencies. I would like to know if it will fix it. Is uswsusp needed for hibernate. Or should pm-utils be enough. (suspend it ram is working fine.)
