Well the good news is that Suspend appears to have worked and my Ibercivis Tasks appear to have resumed from where they left off. Thanks for the idea Tim! I've just spent some time looking into this tuxonice thing, but with no real success so far. I found this: https://launchpad.net/~tuxonice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa so I applied the PPA, but when I ran apt update, I got: Ign:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu eoan InRelease Hit:2 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan InRelease Hit:3 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates InRelease Err:4 http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu eoan Release 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80] Hit:5 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-backports InRelease Hit:6 https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams stable InRelease Hit:7 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security InRelease Reading package lists... Done E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu eoan Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. TBH, I'm not going to spend any more time on this. Suspend appears to work OK for me and apart from a flashing LED and extra power consumption overnight, there seem to be no disadvantages to it. However, if anyone was considering trying to get hibernate to work, here's your starting point perhaps. Note that on the page I linked to above it states that: 'In general, you do NOT need to change any configuration file and you do NOT need to install the hibernate package.' I presume that the tuxonice-userui, which is in the 19.10 Repository (even though the tuxonice kernel patch isn't), would make configuration easier. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2020-05-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
