I no longer seem to have the option to hibernate my laptop. I can suspend it, but I would like the ability to hibernate. Does anyone else have this problem. Could I issue a terminal command to do this?
I'm using Xubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba laptop. Since I upgraded to Maverick, I noticed that the gdm login screen does no longer offer the option to hibernate my computer . The bottom right button can be used to "stop, "restart" or "suspend" but no "hibernate" option. I looked at the option the gconf-editor can toggle for simple-greeter, but no mention of "hibernate" option anywhere. Do you have the same issues on your laptop? How to make that "hibernate" option reappear ?
I have installed Fedora 15 Alpha with GNOME 3. Everything is working fine. However, I can't see any option to hibernate or shutdown.
In the top panel when I click my user name, I only have one option and that is to suspend. Normally I like to hibernate or shutdown. And I can't see any option of what to do when I close my netbook. Normally, I prefer to hibernate.
The other day somebody sat next to me whom I don't feel like entering in my password around, and I wanted to take my computer elsewhere. If I put my computer in my backpack while it's running, my computer will get hot, and the batteries will drain. So I'd like to put my computer in hibernate, or suspend mode, but my computer was already locked, and I couldn't hibernate or suspend without logging in, but I didn't want to enter my password around this guy so I could hibernate or suspend, so I was stuck.
I know there are reasons to keep things the way they are, (like maybe a server environment, etc...) and maybe it should default the way it is now, but I'd like the option to add the ability to hibernate and/or suspend when logged out, at the log in screen and/or a locked screen, without having to use a password.
I was looking for a way to totally turn off the Hibernate option in 11.04, and not just remove the option from the menu. I have read that you can easily disable hibernate from System>Preferences>Power Management but as far as i can see I have no options in there to do such.I found this and similar pages: URL... I do not have the key named can_hibernate anywhere under my gnome-power-manager.I read that this is the option that only removes the "hibernate" option from the power menu, but actually does not disable the service, can anyone confirm this?URL...
Just curious but disabling hibernate in linux save you hardisk space like it does in windows (still quite new here)?
I increasingly use Ubuntu so swapped SATA ports 1&2 around so now 7 boots from BIOS F11 pop out menu. Windows did not complain so far but hibernate is missing from Ubuntu's power down options. I installed Ubuntu Tweak, but cannot see an option to re-enable. Is this something to do with the swapped HDDs &/or the swap partition? Or more likely a recent update?

Ubuntu installed after Win7. Dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04, shared NFTS partition for Downloads and Documents, Grub setup to load Ubuntu by default. I can use the option to hibernate in Windows (but it is disabled by default). I would very much like to enable the "Hibernate" function on this machine, but there is no option for it in the menus. "sudo shutdown now" in a Terminal results in a screen that resembles the login screen background, but the machine is completely irresponsive and must be silenced by long-pressing the physical power button. When I use the GUI to shut down, everything works fine. Perhaps related: When waking the machine from the screen saver, the login window does not turn up before I press the "Esc" button. I am using a standard Gnome screen saver. Perhaps related: The Grub boot screen is getting more and more options every time the Linux kernel is updated.
I'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?
I have hibernated my laptop using 'pm-hibernate' command.Then I tried changing my RAM which I could not do because of compatibility.So, I put back the original RAM and tried to boot the system but it is not booting and the display is junk.All that I can access is GRUB command line. Is there any way I can completely shut down from GRUB? I tried using 'HALT'.
I have a web server running on my laptop(in fact , it's a netbook). But I found it always hibernate automatically in a certain time .(In fact , I don't know what's the differences between hibernate or suspend. So I call this hibernate instead.) I am sure I have disabled the hibernate function in Power-Management from the System menu. But it still hibernates as usual.So could someone tell me how to disable it ( suspend,hibernate whatever )?
There are two Fedora 12 systems which are now refusing to hibernate. The hibernation sequence seems to happen but then things hang indefinitely with a black screen and a blinking cursor, top left. I don't know where to start looking for clues; what do I look for in the logs, could someone please point me to a good hibernate/suspend troubleshooting guide?
One of the systems just recently got out of whack, for no apparent reason; it hibernated great for a couple of years, even as it went through upgrades from Fedora 9. The other stopped hibernating after its F9 -> F10 upgrade. This one lacks non-root hibernation permissions, but when I issue "/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate" as root, it goes through the motions and then hangs at black screen also.
where do I define that my laptop should go hibernate or suspend when my battery has a certain percentage? Where do I define this percentage ?I see no such options under Power Management Preferences.
Just got Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm liking it a lot, but my computer refuses to go into hibernate or suspend. I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.
when I hit the shutdown option... I notice my Hibernate and Sleep button are gone... just the other 3 buttons are there.I wonder if it's certain apps I'm running (that can't be allowed to go into Hibernate) or if it just happens at random for no reason.Has anybody else had this problem? and what is causing this?
My desktop is a Compaq CQ5110F. It's a dual boot system and Fedora 11 resides on sda3 of hard disk (WD 3200AAJS-6).Both suspend and hibernate don't work, but the symptoms are different. For hibernate, after resume, there are some messages (??) about register errors quickly flashed on the screen, then the logon window shows but the system hangs. For suspend, I cannot wake up the system by hitting some keys on the keyboard. After I press the power button, LCD doesn't get any signal. I remember hibernate worked when I was using Fedora10, but wireless card did not automatically reconnect at that time. Also hibernate works fine for vista.
first time user of Fedora 12 ( and lovin it ) and theres only one thing thats not working... When I resume from hibernation my graphics in my session become screwy ( sorry I can be more technical ) They become all white-ish and staticy, quite un-usable. It varies from time to time if the graphics are usable at all on resume. After a reboot things are fine. Or even better a log out then log in, things are back to normal. There is no difference when turning Compiz on or off. There are no errors in X log, and there is no X conf file on my system..
P.S. > Someone said I need to enable an option in " ACPI-CONFIG " called write_graphics_to_memory. I cant find any reference to it anywhere, aswell as that I cant find anyway to see/edit ACPI settings..Dont really wana go back to Mandriva as I'm lovin FC12 sooo much. But Ive been trying to solve this for days and Im pulling my hair out.
Is there any option to hibernate desktop computer (on AC power) automatically after staying idol for say.. 30 minutes?In System>Preferences>Power Management there is a option to Put computer to sleep when inactive for minutes. But no option to automatic hibernate.
I have just upgraded my Lenovo T61 from FC14 to FC15. Under FC14, I had the system set up to hibernate when the lid was closed. When I opened the lid, the system would automatically come out of hibernation in just a few seconds and I would be back to where I was.
Under FC15, I have also set it to hibernate when the lid closes. When I open the lid, nothing happens until I tap the power button, and then it comes out of hibernation via some kind of reboot: I see the Lenovo splash screen, then the machine beeps and goes into a wakeup routine, which takes much longer than it did under FC14.
I have fedora 13. What is the difference between suspend and resume? If I suspend, how do I turn on the pc? If I hibernate, how do I get out of hibernation?
I'm running fc10 x64 - latest updates. First I could never get wake on lan to work - spent days working on that one. Now, when I restart after a hibernate my eth0 is not re-enabled or recognized anymore. About to give up on Fedora.
I've tried service network restart. I've tried unplugging cable and plugging back in. I've tried init.d/networkmanager restart. Only reboot works.
I've spent so much time trying to configure Fedore Core 10 for a Dynamips server and it's just not ready on some of the essential things like this hibernate problem and also wake on lan.
I am pretty new to Linux, but this can't be the way the system is supposed to operate.
Fedora 12 KDE 4.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686 Toshiba satellite L305D
As of updating KDE to 4.4 and a kernel update from two weekends ago hibernate/resume works perfectly. The problem is I feel that all terminals should be locked/logged out automatically upon suspend/hibernate. Through bug reporting at KDE found that an additional setting is required in KDE to lock the desktop before suspend/hibernate. But any of my other terminals that are logged in remain logged in upon resume. Is there an additional setting that I have to flip to secure the terminals? Would this be considered a security hole? Is there anything short of me manually logging out that I can do to automate locking/logging my terminals?
I just installed FEDORA 14 on my PC which already had Vista. I am able to dual boot through the GRUB boot loader. I am facing an issue where wired network in FEDORA stops working if I hibernate Vista. I really would like to be able to hibernate both to quicken the startup times.
Here are the steps:
1. Boot to Fedora (everything works fine including wired network)
2. Hibernate Fedora
3. Boot to Vista (everything works fine including networking)
4. Hibernate Vista
5. Boot to Fedora. It loads up fine, but wired network status icon keeps spinning and then results in a kernel package crash. I already reported the crash to Fedora.
6. Hibernate Fedora and boot to Vista (Vista resumes fine from hibernation and everything works in Vista including networking).
Is Fedora supposed to work when both Fedora and Vista are hibernated in a dual boot PC?If I shut down Vista, and then resume Fedora, networking works fine. So there is something in Vista hibernation that causes Fedora networking to fail. This issue remains even if Fedora is restarted (not hibernate/resume).
When I press the power button and select 'Hibernate' I get a text string come up on the screen. The last characters are "fail: -6". There is more to it but it's there and gone so quickly I haven't written the rest of it down yet. What this might be?
I currently have fedora 15 installed along side windows 7 on my acer aspire d250. So far it runs great, however I was wondering if there is a way to make fedora 15 hibernate after being in suspend for a period of time, just like windows 7 does. This make sense to me as there is no point in wasting battery life if i can hibernate, but I don't want to hibernate all the time, just suspend for a period of time, like 2 hours, in case I need my netbook again i have quick access to it.
I've installed Fedora 13 x86_64 and am not able to hibernate (though suspend works fine). This is the case either with or without the proprietary Nvidia drivers from rpmfusion. When I click System -> Shut Down -> Hibernate, the screen just goes dark. Moving the mouse activates the display and the password confirmation box appears. Judging by the disk activity light, nothing is written to disk. Swap space is configured correctly.
Looking at the last few lines of /var/log/pm-suspend.log I see this:
It looks like grub (or the absence of grub.conf) is interfering. Problem is, I'm not even using Fedora's grub to boot the system. I'm dual booting with Ubuntu 8.04 and am using that grub. The section from that grub's menu.lst is:
But of course Ubuntu 8.04 is pre grub2 so how do I satisfy Fedora's grub.config without messing this up?
my system will not go to suspend, if I was logged on. It will turn off the fan and harddrive and than nothing will happen. I can't stroke a key, it will only blink on a blank screen. So I have to switch off my system by holding down the power-key for a while. But if I was never loggod on, I can suspend properly on the welcomescreen.
I have three problems with my new Acer Aspire one 721 (Amd, ATI) [url]
1) Pymouth doesn't work when booting. I have to use the parameter "nodeset". Desktop effects are working. I have installed Mesa based DRI drivers (experimental).
2) I have to manually "enable wireles" to acess the wlan. It should connect automatically.
3) the laptop doesn't wake up from suspend/hibernate. I have to use brute force to restart. pm-suspend.log
everything works perfect including reboot and shutdown but not the hibernate or suspend (sleep). Whenever i try to do Suspend, my caps lock starts blinking and the screen goes white
