Re: [CentOS] Getting hibernate to work on a new CentOS 7.2.1115 install

2016-06-17 Thread Globe Trotter
Hi,


I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on what I could do to get 
hibernate working.
Just as a reminder, I get:
> cat /sys/power/state:
freeze mem

> cat /sys/power/disk
[disabled]

> The first should include 'disk' and the second should say enabled or
some such. 

So, clearly this is not set correctly. How do I make these changes, if I am 
allowed to?

> Note that hibernation is probably not supported by theCentOS kernel if this

(it's not supported by Fedora kernels) as it's a possible vector to
defeat the point of Secure Boot.

I  do have SecureBoot disabled (the computer would not boot after installation 
otherwise) and that is when I found the hidden "flag" to disable SecureBoot.
> And yet another thing is that it's possible the initramfs isn't using
resume= which is currently a problem on
Fedora. So you might need to add this to the grub.cfg on the kernel
command line, something like resume=/dev/VG/swap or wherever it is. If
it's a /dev/sdXY, i.e. on a regular partition, then use UUID.
I know how to get it working on Fedora (modify /etc/default/grub and 
grub-instlall) or so I believe. Should I have to do the same thing on CentOS?

Thanks again!

This error message is generated when the sleep operation is not 
possible. Do you have sufficient SWAP configured on your system?

Thanks! The machine in question has 2 GiB of memory. I asked for an automatic 
partitioning of the disk during installation and the installer chose 3.some 
GiB. I usually use twice the RAM but I let it go this time since it was what 
was recommended by the automatic anaconda. 

What swap should I go for there?
Thanks again!

[CentOS] Getting hibernate to work on a new CentOS 7.2.1115 install

2016-06-12 Thread Globe Trotter
Hi,
I am a new CentOS user (quite familiar with Fedora 1-23+) and I decided to try 
a new install of CentOS on a ASUS R503U. 

However, I can not get hibernate to work. I try:
systemctl hibenaate
and I get:
Failed to execute operation: sleep verb not supported
Btw, the problem does not go away with super-user. 

I was wondering how to get around this issue. I would like the abililty to 
hibernate and come back in the last state.
Thanks!

[CentOS] CentOS 7.1 How to change panel background

2015-04-27 Thread Globe Trotter
Hi,
I just installed CentOS and have been trying to change the desktop panel 
background (in gnome classic) to black. How do I do this? Holding the alt 
button while right-clicking on the mouse does not seem to do anything. 

I do not have anything installed (other than what came with the LiveCD).
Many thanks!
