Hello,

is there any way that tcl can have the "standby" or "hibernate" or "suspend" features
that you see in other OS's?

I wondered because these features can be real handy for computer managing and convenient.

After messing with my desktop PC last evening...i learned that "standby" on the current OS could only have worked if the "s3" bios setting was chosen when that
OS was installed.  (it hadn't been chosen....so)

Then there was a thread here about a tool called "Granola" which lowers your cpu power usage by 35 percent. It installed correct but said my system did not have DVSL enabled. My bios did not have a setting for it either.

Does anybody know about any good power management tools or extensions
for typical oS's?.

Currently i am told that "Hibernate" eats 2 gigs of drive space on typical OS's.....hmmm

thanks

V.

Standby: echo mem > /sys/power/state
Hibernate: echo disk > /sys/power/state

Both as root, and hibernate requires a swap partition bigger than your ram (and specifying it as the partition to use).

Hello

great. Thanks

Standby may well work on this laptop.

My swap partition is already double the ram size. It should work also
for hibernate

C,

yes it is working perfectly.

This standby is real useful and people may, at first, not realize why.

It just means you don't have to boot up the tcl OS again. That is real handy isn't it.

There are, for people like me, other reasons why standby is handy. I often flick
from PC to PC trying to remember things and carry over details. This can get
messy without quik access to particular states and data.

thanks a lot

V.

Glad to hear about your working suspend.

What is it that s2ram/s2disk from suspend.tcz do different?
What's the justification for their existence?
