Problems to shut down Lenny (Re: Hibernate - Is it safe?)
On Sat, Jan 3, 2009 at 9:01 PM, Kamaraju S Kusumanchi raju.mailingli...@gmail.com wrote: I am having my share of problems with the hibernate feature in Lenny. If I shutdown the laptop (Dell Inspiron E1505) from a clean reboot using sudo shutdown -h now Then it shuts down properly.

Now the only way to switch it off is to press the POWER button and risk loosing the data. I have a related problem: In GNOME, if I go to System Shut Down, and click on the Shut Down button, that window hangs (!). I can still click on the X in that window, and the desktop refreshes, but the system does not shut down. The other buttons (Suspend, Hibernate, etc.) work though. The only way to shut down the system is to open an xterm window and type in the shutdown command. Does anyone else here have the same problem? Any ideas how that can be fixed? I Never had the time to debug the issue. So, I left it in one of my to-do lists. For now, I am not using the hibernate feature. May be when Lenny is released, I will give it a try.

So i ask is it save to keep doing this? Yes. Linux saves its memory state in an area of the hard disk (a Linux swap file or partition) which is not changed by Windows. You only have to be careful in all cases where some data of the Linux system might be changed while it is in hibernation: - Some other installed Linux distribution or Live CD which writes into your Debian partition or swap file. - If you have a parition of your Vista system mounted, better umount it before hibernation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
