I switched to gnome desktop and it works fine.

3

Hi, the desktop shouldn’t have anything to do with this, don’t use kpowersave then, try the options in the kmenu and see what happens and for s2disk make sure your swap space is twice your ram :slight_smile:

4

It quit working with gnome also. How would I change my swap file size?
I’m new to linux.

5

Go to Yast>System>Partitioner

Make your changes but be careful or u can download the gparted live cd from here and use that to change partition sizes

GParted – Welcome

i looked at the s2ram page and if
i’m logged in as root in a terminal and enter" s2ram -f" the pc suspends ok, then I press the main power button and it resumes fine.

7

alright then do this

press ctrl + f2 and type in for

kde

kdesu kwrite

gnome

gnomesu gedit

copy and paste this

S2RAM_OPTS="-f"

and save file in “/etc/pm/config.d” and name the file “config”

reboot :slight_smile:

8

ctrl+f2 did not do anything. I assumed it was to open a terminal so that is what I did. Followed your instructions for gnome and rebooted.The first time I tried after rebooting it froze up on startup.I had to press the power button to shutdown, then restarted and it seems to be working ok now.
Is there anyway to get the computer to wake up using my usb keyboard spacebar??
Thanks for your help-

9

Now each time I log out the computer freezes up when I try to log back in?

10

sorry, my misktake, its supposed to be alt+f2, its the run command, as long as u did this perfectly it shouldn’t be causing any lock ups at all, try deleting this file and see if it helps.

in case if your machine ever has a hard lock up, other than rebooting manually causing a data loss do this, press Alt+PrintScreeen(SysRq)+RSEIUB
simultaneously and watch it magically reboot :slight_smile:

11

I could not delete the file but I was able to erase the contents and save it as an empty file.
How do I log in as root and delete the file?
I can now log out and log back in OK.

12

did u save it in the right directory and can u post the contents of the file.

to log in as root, log out and type root as user name and password, please disconnect from the internet while doing this.

13

It works ok keeping it as an empty file so I will let it be.I can log out and log in fine now, but suspend quit working again.
I guess I’m not going to get it working right without problems.

14

alright try one more thing, open the file

/usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults

using kdesu and your favorite text editor

u should see this

S2RAM_OPTS="" turn this in to this S2RAM_OPTS="-f"

save file and restart and see if it causes problems

15

I think I will wait and see if they add my model onto the whitelist for power management, I emailed them my info.
Thanks

Any update on this problem?
