pier andreit,

If running KDE both suspend options are available. Which desktop manager
are you running?

I’ ve got the same problem. There are no suspend options in my KDE 3.5.9 start menu. But suspend is possible via the Kpowersave tray icon…strange

In a console, as root (type su and hit enter), type in s2ram -n

If it says “Machine unknown,” this is probably because you’re not in the suspend database.

There are a few steps here:

This website tells you how you can get suspend working by default, without manually having to force it.

Pm-utils - openSUSE

It relies on another page for you to actually find the parameters to use, though: S2ram - openSUSE

this is the output
dellino:~ # s2ram -n
Machine matched entry 180:
sys_vendor = ‘Dell Inc.’
sys_product = ‘XPS M1530 *’
sys_version = ‘’
bios_version = ‘’
Fixes: 0x0
This machine can be identified by:
sys_vendor = “Dell Inc.”
sys_product = "XPS M1530 "
sys_version = “”
bios_version = “A08”
See S2ram - openSUSE for details.

If you report a problem, please include the complete output above.
If you report success, please make sure you tested it from both X and
the text console and preferably without proprietary drivers.

but the proble is another:
suspend run well, it is present in kpowersave but not in the logout panel, I would like the presence in the logout panel

many thanks
pier

Are you using the default 11.0 repositories or did you update your kde from another repo? I use kde 4 and the default install contained suspend in the logout menu. I updated to kde 4 factory and no longer have the option to suspend from the logout menu. I suspend from kpowersave nowadays.

I’m using kde 3.5, kde 4 isn’t for me!:slight_smile: and i’m using suspend from kpowersave too

Same here, not present in K-menu, present in context of kpowersave.

By the way, is this K-menu configurable? If yes - what I suppose - how is that done?
