 |
|
I wonder if it's possible to set up tuxonice in a manner that first it suspends the laptop, and after a while it hibernates it automatically? hibernation from suspend could / should also happen if the battery is getting very low, and there's a chance that the suspend-to-ram state might get lost.
it would be even better if the memory image would be written to disk right at suspend time, and then the machine would just have to turn off after the timeout. this would have the advantage that if the laptop is suspended and it loses power (battery runs out, or is removed!), it could simply come alive again as if it was hibernated. but it would have the advantage of being suspended as well, as recovery time would be fast if it's still in suspend state.
or is this all there, and I'm just not reading enough of the documentation?  |

You need a bios which supports this. |
interesting. I actually have a ThinkPad Z61p - how do I find out if it has this feature? |

You should be able to find a bios option which enables support for this. I don't remember the exact option. It is probably called Redisafe
