Re: Alternative to using swap for hibernating

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You can try:

http://suspend2.net
if you're using custom kernels or

http://mhensler.de/swsusp/index_en.php
if you wish to use Fedora kernels.

suspend2 is able to use swap partitions, swapfiles and even normal files.

I've been trying to figure out why one of my laptops just damn refuses to
hibernate.  It starts the hibernation process, turns off X, begins shrinking
memory, turning things off -- then boom!  it drops back into X, reconnects
to wireless, and just keeps on chugging.  Without really showing any
informative error message.

I finally found the clue in /var/log/messages:

Apr 11 23:57:55 lc2440 kernel: swsusp: Not enough free swap
Apr 11 23:57:55 lc2440 kernel: Restarting tasks … done.
Apr 11 23:57:55 lc2440 kernel: Enabling non-boot CPUs …

So, it can't fit the contents of RAM into swap.

This laptop has 2GB of ram.  I've partitioned the drive with a 512MB swap.

Now, I don't really feel like blowing 2GB of my laptop's hard drive on an
essentially useless swap partition.  Besides, it's a bit too late for me to
repartition.

Do I have any other ways to get hibernation working?
