Ciao Gianluca,
if you are using R14.1.0-dev, there are up to 4 possible buttons, depending on what is
supported by your system.
- freeze
- suspend ==> suspend to RAM
- hibernate ==> suspend to disk
- hybryd suspend ==> suspend to RAM+disk
Ciao Michele,
I'm using R14.0.10 and it's interesting I do see the hibernate option now. I
tried it out and it works. I do not see
"hybryd suspend".
Do you please mind explaining the difference between "freeze" and "suspend
to RAM"? I understand this question is a
bit outside a DE development.
I did find some documentation about the different sleep states:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/states.txt
It says: "This state [freeze] is a generic, pure software, light-weight, system
sleep state. [...] This state [freeze]
can be used for platforms without Power-On Suspend/Suspend-to-RAM support, [...] It is
always supported."
This means, I do not really need to worry whether my system really supports it or not
since it's just software based? So
there should be little risk that it makes the system hang?
Ciao Gianluca,
yes, that kernel doc page is a good reference, I would have pointed you there anyway.
Hybryd suspend is available in R14.1.0-dev and if I remember correctly it is not available
in the R14.0.x series. Also,
hardware support is required for that.
Re freeze: is a lighter form compare to suspend-to-RAM and meant to be quicker to go back
to a working state. I have
seen system hanging with freeze, though. So give it a go, see how it goes and use it/avoid
it depending on the outcoume
of the test.
Re the logo after coming up from hibernate, it is likely to be related to the
kernel/kernel config you are using since
the OS is not operating till the resume from hibernate is completed.
Cheers
Michele
