Hello,
I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.0 GNOME.
My problem is that when I suspend my computer, my laptops fan stops, but my hard drive is still performing tasks. In addition, my network card shows activity.
What’s more, when I come back from suspension I can use my computer but the fan will no longer run for the whole session, until I reboot.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens AMILO L7300 Laptop.
How could I resolve this issue and make Suspension function as Standby would in Windows XP?
Thanks.
Next to double checking your current power(save) setting you could test if the laptop is capable of a full suspend by opening a terminal console, getting root rights with ’ su - ’ and entering ’ s2ram -f ’ or ’ s2ram -f -a 3 '.
Have a read here for more suggestions on what to do, particularly the paragraph ‘Triggering suspend manually’ (almost at the bottom): Pm-utils - openSUSE
This information is valid for openSUSE 10.3 and up, previous versions work with s2ram - which also has a link on the page.
hope that helps,
Wj
