Standby/Suspend on Laptop
I am a Newbie, so keep the jargon gentle!
I have Fedora Core 4 on a laptop, and I want to be able to suspend the computer as one can do in Windows so I don't have to reboot the entire OS every time. When I right click on the tool bar at the top, there is an option to SUspend, but it always says it is unsuccessful. It is trying to execute /usr/bin/apm -s. All the other posts about suspending or going on standby here don't seem to help me. Is it that I can only do this as root? Rob |
Add acpi=off apm=on to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst as;
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.ELcustom ro root=/dev/md0 vga=771 acpi=off apm=on (or apm=power_off) Reboot. $ ps -aux | grep apm # be sure it's running. # chmod +s /usr/bin/apm $ apm --suspend Can do similar with acpi, depends what your laptop likes. |
Thanks!
Worked like a charm. Thanks!

btw, on my laptop, also works closing and re-opening the lid.
