Someone posted (to this list) a simple command line for sleeping the system. ...acpitool -S => suspend to disk (hibernate) => Puts machine into S4. acpitool -s => suspend to ram (sleep) => Puts machine into S3. man acpitoolit is, appropriately, in the acpitool package.But do either of the commands work?
I'll be darned... 'acpitool -s' *works from a VT* (not from X). Except I get this from alsa when KUSC is playing with mplayer: [AO_ALSA] Pcm in suspend mode, trying to resume.[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:709:(snd_pcm_hw_resume) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_RESUME failed (-38): Function not implemented
Which is bug 574844, I believe. Which is an mplayer bug but nothing heard from since august 2010.
But sound is there, X is there, and of course it is instantaneous.FWIW, this is with Sid and a box with an M4N98TD EVO asus mobo, 4 GB of memory, one "GeForce 8400 GS" NVidia PCI-e card, 2 IDE disks, 1 SATA disk and 1 USB disk.
I had sound going, VT's going and X going with google-chrome browser and TB and Konsole.
When I issue 'acpitool -s' from konsole on X, the system does not shut down right and does not resume but boots with the 4 disks messed up.
