Hello, list! Sorry, for my English.
I am planning a fresh install of Wheezy to Lenovo Y450 laptop and would like to ask some questions about contemporary hibernation process. http://wiki.debian.org/Suspend brings nothing, but uncertainty. 1. What logical place a hibernation process does writes itself? (a special file, a swap partition, or?) And how much of space should be reserved for it? (for example, if it writes into swap partition) RAM amount according to 'free' from Wheezy Live XFCE4 is 4111244 bytes. 2. What utility provides today a proper hibernation procedure? (pm-utils, hibernation, or?) Wheezy XFCE4 Live media does not allows hibernation by default for my laptop. An attempt to install a package 'hibernate' returns this: root@debian:/home/user# apt-get install hibernate Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: kbd liblzo2-2 uswsusp Suggested packages: 915resolution The following packages will be REMOVED: console-tools The following NEW packages will be installed: hibernate kbd liblzo2-2 uswsusp 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 859 kB of archives. After this operation, 1,541 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? If 'kbd' package is equal exchange for 'console-tools' package? Does it make a harm for the system in future dependencies check? 3. Is there a GUI tool for hibernation parameters tuning? Xfce4-power-manager 1.0.11 applet on an upper desktop panel has 'hibernate' option grayed out. 4. Something important I forgot to ask, probably? Thanks!
