Hibernating under Linux ...
Albretch Mueller
One of the few things I think Windows does well (well, definitely
better than "us") is hibernating. You can actually notice how the hard
drives don't seem to be powered and even the fans stop spipping
I have tried hibernating under both, knoppix 6.2 and Ubuntu 9.10 and
none of them get it right. Is there any Linux distro that does?
Why is that?
Thanks

I'm not having any problems here with hibernate or suspend on 3 different
notebooks. Ubuntu 9.10 worked from a fresh install and Fedora 11 did as
well. The hardware is Lenovo T400, Thinkpad T43, Gateway Core Duo, don't
remember the model. All I did was install Linux and everything worked with
no troubles. What hardware do you have?

...perhaps this fellow should actually mention what hardware he has trouble with.

when I hibernate my HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop (kind of old), with Debian
Lenny, I have a little fussing to do to get the network back when it
comes out of hibernation. I have to do some random hits on wicd and
dhclient before it gets ip. maybe a router issue?
sometimes though it seems I have to assign an ip address in order to get
other routers to give me a route.
it would be grand if there were no problems at all but once I know the
tricks, it's minor frustration.
wish there were a real solution though.

I'm assuming this is wireless? What if you assign a fixed ip address to the
laptop?
Also, I had a similar problem with an older laptop and older version of
suse. I had to stop networking before suspend, and restart it afterwards.
I set up a script to do it. A bit of a pain but it worked.
Is there any setting in the wireless setup to preserve settings or
something similar?
I know under Windows 7 if I suspend, sometimes when I resume I have a
different ip address, but it is transparent and works. Doesn't happen all
the time though. I have a Cisco router.

OK, I ran that search. I find a long history of posts, going back
several years, in a variety of technical groups. Almost all ask serious
and legitimate questions, and receive series answers.
What's your point?

yes, wireless. I'll try doing it with a fixed ip and see.

it should be possible to set this up. I'll see if shutting down wifi
before hibernating works. if so, then your suggestion looks like the way
to go.

I no longer have Windows on this machine and can't recall if the problem
occurred there. my spouse visits with her XP machine and it seems to
suspend and waken fine with no connection problem. I don't know if her
machine goes completely "asleep" - power out.
I have some kind of Belkin.
great tips, thanks!
