power management

http://crunchbanglinux.org – I'm a new crunchbang user (the Debian kind), and am having trouble with the power management features on my Toshiba netbook. The computer will go into suspend as directed, but when I try to wake it up again the screen stays black (although the computer is definitely on--I can feel the hard disk spinning and so on). When I set it to hibernate it apparently just turns the whole computer off--when I hit the power key to wake it up it runs all its startup scripts and any programs I had open are closed.Any ideas?

Stories similar to power management

Hi I am using a Dell inspiron 7520, I've got a i7 2.1ghz CPU with an AMD Radeon HD 7730m working on switchable graphic with an intel HD 4000.

I am using the computer on Linux only so there's no Window factor coming into the problem.

I am currently running on my Intel HD 4000 to work on laptop. My battery before I suspend by shutting the lid is at 4 hours or a little higher.

Hi !

I've just bought a new laptop, an Asus G60JX-JX040V :

Intel Core i5 430M 4 GB RAM Nvidia GTS 360M

It works great with Ubuntu, except that i can't suspend or hibernate. For suspending : the screen becomes black, the hard driver powers off, but the laptop doesn't power off : there is a blinking white dash on a black screen ...

[ubuntu] Power management 40 weeks 4 days ago

I run Ubuntu on my MBP 8,1 and the power management doesn't seem to work that great with it. In suspend, a full battery won't last more than a day and a half. When the computer is low on battery, it will just keep going until it runs out of power. I would at least like it to suspend and give me a little while to plug it back in.

Power Management settings 3 years 43 weeks ago

What are the default settings for power management? I've messed with it a little and I noticed my screen doesnt lock when I leave my computer inactive for a certain period of time. Also the 2 options in the Power Management."

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.

Hi there,

I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on a Toshiba laptop and having trouble getting it to suspend when idle.

In system -> preferences -> power management, under the 'battery power' tab I have set it to 'put computer to sleep when inactive for 11 minutes'.

Problem resuming after suspend 35 weeks 5 days ago

So, the computer suspends just fine. When I try to wake it up, the screen flickers a bit, and then there's a black screen with all kinds of awful colored lines all over it. The mouse works normally, but it seems to be the only thing that functions.

Hi,

I am using Lubuntu 12.10 64-bit on a new Toshiba Satellite L840D laptop. I am having a problem with keyboard shortcuts that use the function keys: F9 to decrease volume, Alt-F4 to close windows, etc. Most of the time, these shortcuts work fine. However, they stop working altogether whenever I either wake up from suspend or plug in the power cord.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and my laptop* won't wake from sleep/suspend/hibernate. (Is sleep the same thing as suspend?) I'm not even sure which of these things it's doing. When I am done working for the day, I lock my screen (Control-Alt-L).
