What method do you use to invoke hiberate? For example having the GNOME Desktop running and then using the Power Manager icon by default in the Notification Area and then selecting the Hibernate action. Or do you invoke hibernation using a different method? > The solution is to use the "shutdown" method instead of the "platform": > echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk > > The problem is that I don't know how to implement it permanently in a > clean way.

Some ways will be preferred by one person more than a different method. A lot of it will be personal preference. I will suggest one method but that doesn't mean I wouldn't agree that a different one is better. :-) There is a file /etc/rc.local that is invoked at boot time. If you add commands there they will be executed every time the machine is booted. That might be the easiest place for you to configure this. /etc/rc.local [Note: This became supported in Etch for better compatibility with other systems that primarily used that feature.] > I would have expected the existence of some /etc/defaults/pm in which > setting the default hibernate method. As far as I know these have not yet been converged into a grand unified configuration because there are different ways in the kernel to do it and the default one isn't good for everyone so many need to patch it. I don't know if in the upstream one method has clearly one the battle yet or not. (I am pulling for suspend2, aka TuxOnIce! :-) Because there are many different independent systems that may be used to suspend/hibernate a machine they aren't coordinated. Each userspace wrapper has their own configuration process. GNOME versus KDE versus systems without X Windows versus other. But I agree it would be nice if they were coordinated. Bob
