Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2011-08-10 05:08:40 MSK 
After installing Simply Linux 6.0.0 beta 2011-06-20, sleeping/hibernation didn't work on an Asus small notebook (NoteBook PC / S200) when closing the lid.

(Also, I didn't understand whether hibernation worked when done from the menu: the system went down, the power was off, but when I tuned the power on the next time by pushing the poser button on the computer, the computer just booted normally, the previous state wasn't restored.)

And /etc/sysconfig/grub2 doesn't contain a "resume" option in the kernel command line:

$ fgrep -i cmdline /etc/sysconfig/grub2 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='panic=30 splash'
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='failsafe vga=normal'
$ 

I don't know why suspend&resume hasn't been configured by the installation...

And after I have appended resume=/dev/sda1 option to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, pm-hibernate and resume works. Why wasn't this done by the installation?

How do I make closing of the lid make the system hibernate now?..

Yes, there was a bug, but this was fixed in later versions.

You can chose the desired behavior in the power manager's settings.

Thanks, I have set it up in xfce4-power-manager-settings. 

(The only remaining problem is that there is no such menu entry in the Xfce deskop environment.)

Settings->Settings Manager->Power Manager
(Настройки->Диспетчер настроек->Менеджер питания)
