 Posted: Thu May 24, 2007 8:42 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Gnome hibernate button does nothing |
 |
|
I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.21-gentoo-r1. This time around, I decided to try the Software Suspend feature, and it works! I can type in | Code: | | echo disk > /sys/power/state |
and my laptop hibernates and comes back up just fine.
I noticed that Gnome 2.16.2 gives me a Hibernate button in the shutdown menu. However, when I click it, I get a window with no title that has a light bulb, the label "Power Manager", and a close button.
After some research, I found the hal scripts that handle power management. /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate will hibernate my system. I changed /sys/power/state to 0666 so I can hibernate the system as a non-root user. Gnome still gives me that "Power Manager" window.
Any ideas?

| First of all, you should not have needed to change the permissions of the hal scripts. Have you tried emerging hibernate-script? It gives you the hibernate and hibernate-ram commands which the hal scripts can use. |

Thanks for the reply pizzach.
I emerged hibernate-script, but that didn't fix the problem. I decided to re-emerge gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager to see if that would do anything. It didn't, but at the end of the emerge was this message
| Code: |
* Updating icons cache ... [ ok ]
* Updating scrollkeeper database ...
* You will need the masked pam_console to be able to
* suspend/hibernate, or you will need to:
* touch /var/run/console/<USERNAME>
* after each boot
|
I created the /var/run/console/<USERNAME> file and tried again, but it still wouldn't work. I had to log out of Gnome, and then log back in. And now the Hibernate button works! I added touch /var/run/console/<USERNAME> to /etc/conf.d/local.start.
Hibernate works now, but ndiswrapper doesn't like it. That however, is a topic for another thread ... |
