Any Distribution with a working Suspend to Ram??
Any Distribution with a working Suspend to Ram??
Hi,
Running 2.14 on my old laptop and it works great!
I have previously tried Xubuntu, Icewm, Enlightenment and Elive and some of them have had a nice working Suspend to ram functionctionality working out of the box!
I have tried to search this forum and use scripts and hints - Suspend into might work bbbut resume results in complete darkness and the need for a "forced" reboot...
Is there a Puppy flavour with a working Suspend to ram?
Regards
Martin

Ctrl + Alt + backspace did nothing, it seems like there is no connection with the keyboard at all - toggling Caps Lock does not put on the led for an example.
Making the laptop go to sleep can be achieved in many ways - one is the script from this Puppy thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 40&t=14467. To wake it up seems harder...
In other distros the acpi (or apm) directories have been installed/implemented, I don know if that might be a clue...???

I don't know if this information is of any use for you, but just for the record:
I tried the built-in key combination on my vintage laptop (Fn-Esc) - and it suspended to RAM just like that! Plus, it seems to wake up very reliably, much more so than Win98.

I'm on 2.12 (Muppy007) on a 1GB RAM Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I can suspend and resume successfully if I don't have many programs open. I have noticed that if I suspend for a long time, resume is inconsistent. Sometimes I have to do the ctrl-alt-f3 thing, but not often.
I tried some of the suspend scripts from users in the forum, but also waking up wasn't consistently successful.
I think the problem has something to do with the X session. I just haven't tested it, but I will. Probably if I kill X and suspend, resume will be consistent.
It still stinks to have to have to re-launch programs. I haven't booted Windows for months, but this weekend I did and the resume from suspend/hibernation made me really want something as consistent in my primary OS.
Bug-free suspend and resume is high on my wish list. Wish I were skilled enough to figure it out.
