Chris,
Bummer about the sound... you don't have the hardware mute on do you?
(sorry if this is an obvious question). I had to unmute everything in
the volume control and then go back and remute things one at a time.
I have suspend to ram working. I found a website documenting it all but
can't find the link right now.
Essentially what you need to do is create a few files in /etc/acpi/events
$cat lid.conf
event=button/lid
action=/usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
$cat shutdown.conf
event=button/power.*
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now
$cat lid.conf
event=button/lid
action=/usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
$cat /usr/lib/bin/t41-suspend.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep && /sbin/hwclock --hctosys
And if you are running Gnome and have the battery monitor right click on
the battery and select preferences
change the suspend command to be:
sudo /usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
Then run visudo and add the following:
hhoffman ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/t41-suspend.sh
Well, use your username that is.
HTH,
Harry
