This is the last call for comments for the review of debconf templates for uswsusp. The reviewed templates will be sent on Saturday, October 06, 2007 to the package maintainer as a bug report and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. --
Template: uswsusp/resume_device
Type: select
Choices: ${list}
_Description: Swap space to resume from:
To be able to suspend the system, uswsusp needs a swap partition or file
to store a system snapshot. Please choose the device to use, from the
list of suitable swap spaces, sorted by size (largest first).
Template: uswsusp/resume_offset
Type: string
Description: Offset of swap file's header:
When using a swap file for storing the snapshot during suspend, the
location of the swap file's header must be specified. This will be
stored in <PAGE_SIZE> units, as the offset from the beginning of the
partition that contains the swap file.
Template: uswsusp/no_swap
Type: error
_Description: No suitable swap space for software suspend
To be able to suspend the system, uswsusp needs a swap partition or file to
write a system snapshot to. No such space seems to be available for this.
.
You should create a swap partition or file, preferably twice the size of the system's
physical RAM.
.
Then, run 'dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp' or edit the configuration file
manually.
Template: uswsusp/no_snapshot
Type: error
_Description: No userspace software suspend support in the kernel
The current kernel doesn't support userspace software suspend. Please
recompile the kernel with the 'CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y' option.
Template: uswsusp/continue_without_swap
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Continue without a valid swap space?
The swap file or partition that was found in uswsusp's configuration
file is not active.
.
In most cases this means userspace software suspend will
not work as expected. You should choose another
swap space.
.
However, in some rare cases, this configuration may be intentional.
Template: uswsusp/snapshot_device
Type: string
_Description: The device node through which uswsusp can talk to the kernel:
If this is empty, the hardcoded default, /dev/snapshot, is used.
This should be OK in almost all cases. Don't change this unless there is a
good reason to do so.
Template: uswsusp/image_size
Type: string
_Description: Preferred maximum image size:
Please specify a maximum system snapshot image size (in bytes).
.
This limit is not strict; the uswsusp does its best to respect it,
but will exceed the specified limit if suspend needs a bigger image.
.
Using 0 here will enforce the use of the smallest possible snapshot
image. An empty value will use the hard coded default, which is
500MB. The default value is 45% of the system's memory: this is not
the maximal size, but some additional free memory speeds up the
suspend and resume process.
Template: uswsusp/suspend_loglevel
Type: string
_Description: Log level for software suspend:
Please specify the kernel console log level which the s2disk/s2both
and resume utilities will use to report the progress of suspend and
resume. On a stock kernel, messages with levels higher than 7 are
usually not shown.
Template: uswsusp/max_loglevel
Type: string
_Description: Maximal log level:
Please specify the kernel console log level which the resume utility will use
if the resume fails.
Template: uswsusp/compute_checksum
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Perform checksum on image?
Performing a checksum using the MD5 algorithm to verify the image
integrity is slightly safer, but also takes more time.
Template: uswsusp/compress
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Compress image?
Compressing the image with the LZF compression algorithm will result in a
smaller image, which makes it possible to suspend with a smaller swap
partition. Generally, it will also make reading and writing the image faster
because there is less to read and write.
Template: uswsusp/early_writeout
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Perform early write out?
The synchronization of the resume device can start early in the
process of writing the image to it. This has been reported to speed
up suspend on some systems and eliminate the 'fast progress meter and
long fsync wait' effect.
Template: uswsusp/splash
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Show splash screen?
Instead of informative output, a splash screen with progress bar can
be shown during the suspend and resume process. This requires the splashy
package to be installed.
Template: uswsusp/encrypt
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Encrypt snapshot?
For increased security, it is possible to encrypt the snapshot
that is written to disk during suspend. On resume (and suspend if you don't
use an RSA key), you will be prompted for a passphrase. Encryption
adds a significant time to the suspend and resume processes.
Template: uswsusp/RSA_key_file
Type: string
Default: /etc/uswsusp.key
_Description: Path to RSA key file:
To avoid the need for a passphrase prompt during each suspend, an RSA
key can be used to encrypt the image.
.
Please specify the path to that file. Leave this field empty to
not use an RSA key.
Template: uswsusp/create_RSA_key
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Create an RSA key?
The key necessary for using the RSA encryption scheme can be generated now.
You will be prompted for a passphrase.
Template: uswsusp/RSA_key_bits
Type: string
Default: 1024
_Description: RSA key size:
Please specify the size of the RSA key (number of bits between 1024
and 4096). A bigger key increases the encryption strength but slows
down the encryption process.
Template: uswsusp/RSA_passphrase
Type: password
_Description: RSA passphrase:
Please choose the passphrase to use on every resume to decrypt the
image.
Template: uswsusp/RSA_passphrase_v
Type: password
_Description: RSA passphrase confirmation:
Template: uswsusp/shutdown_method
Type: select
__Choices: reboot, platform, poweroff
Default: platform
Description: Shutdown method:
If this parameter is set to 'reboot', the s2disk utility will
reboot the machine rather than powering down. This can be useful
for testing purposes.
.
If it is set to 'platform', hardware-specific optimization is used
if available.

Description: tools to use userspace software suspend provided by Linux
This package (also known as µswsusp or simply suspend) contains the
programs to use the userspace software suspend facility available in
Linux kernels 2.6.17-rc1 and higher. It allows the system to have its
state saved to disk and be powered off. On restarting, it will be put
back in the state it was left in (this is sometimes called
hibernation).
.
It also includes a program to suspend the system to RAM after the
state is saved to disk. In that state, the system still uses power,
but resuming is faster. If the battery depletes, the state is
resumed from disk without data loss.
.
Optional features include encrypting the system snapshot and a themeable
splash screen during the suspend and resume processes.
.
To use this package you need a Linux kernel version 2.6.17-rc1 or newer
configured to use an initramfs. Hooks and scripts to integrate with
initramfs-tools are provided.
