 |
|
I've bought a new notebook (asus vivobook) and installed gentoo. I want the system to hibernate when I close the lid. I've installed hibernate-scripts; when I do (as root)
it hibernates fine, when I switch it on again, everything is restored. But I want to be able to do it quickly, without su and typing the root password, just by closing the lid. I've edited /etc/elogind/logind.conf to contain
| Code: | HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=hibernate |
But this does not work: when I close the lid, the notebook continues to work. Is it possible to instruct elogind to call /usr/bin/hibernate when I close the lid? |

Yeah, if you look up the "Hook Directories" section in man loginctl you can put scripts to be run on "system-sleep" in there. It's worth checking if loginctl hibernate works first though, if it does it could indicate elogind isn't seeing the lid close event at all. |
