Dunno, as I already told you, there are severeal methods for sending the machine to sleep.

Try ;-) At least you will get all the errors dumped into "/var/log/pm- suspend.log". >> It seems you are reading the wrong paragrah... you should be interested >> in "s2disk", instead >:-) > > Yes, but doesn't the same apply when suspending to disk?

They are different methods. I don't know the insides, just test both and keep the one that works better. >> Why?

The ones I already told you. Whatever method you are using to put the computer to hibernate, you should debbug it if it fails. pm-hibernate writes a log under /var/log/... the other ones I dunno. >> Yes, but power management is managed different on every DE.

Of course! Power mananer it's kind a lottery :-) Almost any computer is certified to work with Windows but not linux so hibernation and suspension workd like a charm on windows systems but have some problems on linux systems. Manufacturers do not tend to certfy their system for linux, so you have to test and try :-( Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
