Sleep mode in Linux?
Vista and OSX both support sleep mode for very fast wake up. Do any Linux distros support this?

Yes, it is known as suspend-to-ram.

Yes it is covered by ACPI options in the kernel, so it depends if you have those built.
Usually you do something like 'echo -n mem > /sys/power/state' for suspend to ram, and 'echo -n disk > /sys/power/state' to hibernate. To find out if your kernel supports this you can do 'cat /sys/power/state' and look for standby mem disk. |
Well i uncommented the ACPI_HIBERNATE=true line in /etc/default/acpi-support and the option to suspend now appears but the system won't actually enter sleep mode. Any ideas how i can troubleshoot this issue?
Using Ubuntu dapper on an Acer Aspire 1313 notebook. I'm quite new to Linux so be gentle. Cheers. |
