http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'm sorry for making this topic here, I didn't know where to put it. I've been a long time Fedora user and for the past 5 years I have been using it on my laptops. Many people could benefit from all features including suspend or hibernate. Not me, it never worked on any of my laptops. I've been using Fedora 16 for some time now and suspend didn't work out of the box. I was accustomed to simply shutting it down. Last night I didn't press alt correctly and instead of shut down I hit suspend and guess what? It worked! So I just want to congratulate the people that did this (probably from the (HowTos)

Stories similar to Congratulations on suspend

Hello

I recently installed Fedora 18 on my machine and have spend a few days on configuring it. I am using the kernel version 3.7.4.

I have unfortunately faced the following two very strange issues that I couldn't solve them:

1. Suspend to RAM does not work. When I choose suspend I get the black text mode screen with log messages but the system does not suspend.

Ive looked around a bit and cant find anything recent on this so here goes.

Before i upgraded to 9.10 i could suspend using the hot key on my keyboard, i could not how ever use the hibernate hot key. I could also use the suspend AND hibernate buttons on the K menu and both worked fine.

The Perfect Fedora Laptop? 3 years 43 weeks ago

I recently sold my old laptop which had Fedora 10 installed on it, because a lot of the functions didn't work while using Fedora:

-SUSPEND TO DISK FAILED -SUSPEND TO RAM FAILED -MY BATTERY LIFE WAS CUT IN HALF COMPARED TO WHEN I USED WINDOWS (ACPI PROBLEM)

Well, resume on USB works really well with all forms of suspend/hibernate and also (my favorite) suspend-hybrid.

However, I have 2 issues. I've searched around, but I can't seem to find anything posted that works for me.

1) I don't seem to be able to wake my frontend using my MCE usb ir remote. It worked the first time I tried (but maybe I just bumped the mouse?).

I have a new install of 64-bit karmic (Gnome and KDE), dualbooting with XP on a desktop with the ASUS M3N78-EM Mobo.

I am more or less a complete Linux noob, and using 12.04 for the first time. Everything works great, and I am very happy, but there is one exception: suspend won't resume. Every time I suspend my computer, (whether by clicking suspend or by closing the lid) it goes to a black screen (with the backlight on) but there is no way to wake it up.

I have a ThinkPad X61 with Ubuntu 10.4 loaded. Everything runs fine except I now need to go long periods of time without power. The time is so long I need to change the battery. Unfortunately, I see the computer does not have the hibernate option, only suspend. Suspend mode requires a battery. I tried pm-hibernate. The screen just goes blank for a moment and then returns to normal.

suspend problem 3 years 17 weeks ago

Hi! I'm new fedora user and I've installed fedora 12 on my laptop. The only problem, that appears is that suspend option doesn't work good. So when I runt the command "sudo pm-suspend" (or click it in the top menu) the suspend process starts, screen goes black, I can read: syncing filesystems, freezing prcessess, frezing tasks, freezing consoles ...

I just installed the new 12.04 beta on my Lenovo Ideapad U450. According to this thread Whither hybrid suspend? hibernate and suspend are supported, but in the power settings the option to hibernate is greyed out e.g.
