Enable sleep/hibernation

[dilberts_left_nut]

Been meaning to do it for some time, so I had a partition reshuffle, squeezed in a 4GB swap, set it up in /etc/fstab and mounted it with

Code: Select all

swapon -a

added a /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume containing

Code: Select all

RESUME=LABEL=swap

then ran

Code: Select all

update-initramfs -u

After logging out and back in, Hibernate was livened up in the xfce-power-manager menu so I pushed it and it hibernated and then resumed when I repowered.

I also discovered there is a 'hibernate' package in the repo, but I don't have it installed so I don't know what it could add, or if it just sets up the initramfs automatically.

To hibernate system, enter:
# pm-hibernate
To suspend system, enter:
# pm-suspend
You can use the at command as follows to put laptop to sleep after 30 minutes of time:
echo 'pm-suspend' | at now + 30 minutes
