Plus another half minute to load the DE. Usually I am using normal standby (aka suspend to RAM). Powerdevil has no function to disable that feature, which is why I want to disable it one level down in the hierarchy. Another reason is that – as mentioned – sometimes I activate it by accident because the profile popup is right on top of the Hibernate button. Sometimes, that popup disappears right before I click it, hence instead of changing power profile, the laptop takes two or three minutes to recognise that there is not enough space and come back. Yesterday it so happened. Amarok was still playing music, but at some point I was unable to change screens anymore (Shift+Alt+Fx). Only a SysRq+REISUB helped. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' begin signature_virus Hi! I’m a signature virus. Please copy me to your signature to help me spread. end
