To test hibernate try the following: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1) Stop all important stuff |
| 21 |
2) run the following as root: |
| 22 |
# echo disk > /sys/power/state |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If this works, then you can try to configure a power management tool. |
| 25 |
Please also ensure you only have 1 power management tool configured. |
