In the latter case check power and display settings in your DE configuration.I'll probably watch ddcontrol, and if the monitors go into <some state> and stay there for 30m or an hour, suspend.
Well that's a no-go, because when you de-power the monitors, ddccontrol
gives you no info about what sleep state they're in. Reasonable, I guess.
So I'm back to doing it manually, until I figure out what's wrong.
Something came to mind: A while back when automatic suspension worked, I got
an error that it failed because the swap partition ran out of room. I guess
it was doing hybrid sleep and there was too much stuff in swap already? The
old partition was the same size as RAM, and the new one is 1.5x. I did
these steps to upgrade:
Make a new swap partition
swapon the new one
swapoff the old one
remove the old swap partition
There wasn't room on the hard drive to just enlarge the old one without
spending a lot of time moving partitions around. Some time then or after,
automatic suspension stopped working. Do I have to tell something the UUID
of the new swap partition, or does it figure it out?
