Hi! :-) I couldn't find anything related, so I have to ask. Different distributions, seems to have different terminology.
At Trinity, what is the difference between normal and hybrid suspend?
Sidequestion 1:
What is the keyboard shortcut, for bringing up the shutdown - restart etc. dialog box? Where is it stored?
Sidequestion 2:
How can be disabled the password asking screen, after restoring from sleep - suspend etc.?
TIA!!! :-) G.

AFAIR it dumps to memory and disk (it is between sleep and hibernate and gives you the possibility to resume faster, but if the PC hibernates, you are also on the safe side.
Sidequestion 1:

CTRL+ALT+DEL??
Where is it stored?
no idea
Sidequestion 2:

also no idea

No! It is not. :-( It is opening KSysGuard instead.
And no, I didn't customize the shortcuts so far. :-) G.
BTW, tdepowersave was not installed., although the interface was there and let you changing things (who actually never changed). I installed it, but can't see any password after sleeping - suspension option. G.

The interface is provided by a daemon - /opt/trinity/bin/tde_dbus_hardwarecontrol
I am using https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdelibs/pulls/132
I installed it, but can't see any password after sleeping - suspension option.
There is config option to ask for password after resuming - either in tdepowersave or in screen saver.

I'm going to try it! BTW, when tdepowersave is installed, a related tray icon comes to play. On its settings, there is indeed the option for enabling - disabling password check option after suspend. Though it has no effect at all.
Is it a bug? If so, sould it be reported? G.

this is strange I just tried hybrid suspend and it locks the screen before it goes to sleep. After resume it starts with the locked screen asking for password.

I don't know your settings. IMO it is working as expected, but could be that you have different setup.

The box I'm working with, it's my PC, at my home. My fora registration codes etc. are already encrypted (just in case of a malware attack or something). So, I don't have any need for a password. What I want is, after recovering from suspension, going into my desktop, without asking for a password.
For the time being, I can't disable the password screen and it's a bit annoying. (It always asks for the password, no matter what).

Nice! I'll skip that step. :-)

but is screen saver configured to ask password and did you enable the automatic login (I assume yes)

I don't know, it could be bug as well.

It is set to autostart, but not to ask for a password.

I don't think TDE treats suspend and hibernation differently than anybody else.
Basically, suspend or sleep is powering off and disabling as much hardware as practical yet keeping everything alive or suspended in RAM. Suspending is an ACPI feature supported in the computer's BIOS.
Hibernation is copying the user's entire RAM contents and desktop session on to the user's hard drive. The data is copied to the hard drive swap partition or file. Basically a full RAM snapshot being stored on disk. Upon powering up the computer, that information is restored intact.
The old rule-of-thumb was the swap partition or file must be larger than the amount of RAM in the computer. I don't think that rule-of-thumb still applies but probably is a good starting point.
A minor variation of this is most if not all desktop environments allow saving desktop sessions. Sort of a miniature snapshot of the user's desktop -- which apps are open, which files are open, etc.
Sidequestion 1:
What is the keyboard shortcut, for bringing up the shutdown - restart etc. dialog box? Where is it stored?
In TDE the default keyboard shortcut to log out or end the desktop session is Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
The user's keyboard shortcuts are stored in $TDEHOME/share/config/khotkeysrc. The shortcuts can be changed in KControl->Regional & accessibility->Keyboard Shortcuts.
In that KControl module, look in the Global Shortcuts tab. In the "Desktop" section the shortcut for "Log Out" is 'Ctrl+Alt+Delete'.
Log out features are configurable. Look in KControl->TDE Components->Session Manager.
Sidequestion 2:
How can be disabled the password asking screen, after restoring from sleep - suspend etc.?
I am uncertain, but I think you are describing screen locking. Look in the tdepowersave configuration dialog. Look in the General Settings tab->Lock Screen options.
