Re: suspend / hibernate via lid / button doesn't work

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



Damjan,

Glad to hear that worked for you.

I don't know if the gnome people can make this very much easier. Different version of different linux distros might invoke hibernate differently. How would they know which one to map to the lid button?

Also, some people might want to invoke sleep rather than hibernate. If there were system commands which were persistent over all distros and versions, then maybe they could offer these two mention options (with explanations of each). Yes, that would be an improvement.

Best,
ken

Hi Ken,
I did that at the end - set keyboard shortcuts (+ sudo ... without
password). And this helped me to make even lid working:

Of course, old pm-suspend needs to be replaced with systemctl.

But at the end, I should report the issue to gnome package maintainers.
just have to find which one ;)

Best regards,
Damjan

    I had this same problem (very briefly) many years ago.  At that time
    I knew that the entire keyboard was programmable/configurable, so
    maybe the lid button too was just another keyboard button.  So I
    looked in the window manager (for me it was gnome) menus and found
    something for keyboard configuration.  This application simply asked
    me to press the button I wanted to configure, then enter the command
    to be invoked when this button was pressed.  So I did that for the
    lid's button: i.e., I simply pressed it, then entered the command to
    run (the one which invoked hibernate).  And it worked.

    So if you can run the command which does what you want, you might be
    able to do the same.  Hope so.

        Ah, it still does not work. Celebrating too soon.
        For some reason it did, for a while, and for some reason it
        doesn't anymore.

        Don't know what to look for in the logs. Any tip / advice?

        Regards,

             Hi again,
             no need for a help.

             After I've upgraded GNOME extension, it works. However, upgrade
             needs to be done from here:
        https://extensions.gnome.org/

             apt(itude) didn't offer it.

             Regards,
             Damjan

                 Hi,
                 testing Jessie (GNOME) on Acer Aspire One 725 I cannot
        control
                 suspend / hibernate via closed lid / power button.

                  From the command line both cases work:
                 systemctl suspend
                 systemctl hibernate

                 In case power button / lid is used, the system does
        suspend, but
                 at the boot backlight of the screen is not turned on
        again. As
                 such, one can login and reboot, but without any content
        on the
                 screen visible. I suspect some installation packages are
                 missing. Attached is the list of currently installed ones.

                 Please help and thanks in advance,
                 Damjan
