Re: powerdevil Kubuntu 9.04 & KDE4.x

Only running 1GB of RAM. May not work.

top (or KInfoCenter) will tell you how much memory is being used to run your system -- probably it is less than 1GB most of the time, especially if you shut down the browser and other stuff before you S2RAM. So I think S2RAM probably will work on that laptop, with running packages shut down first.

And what if it's suspended for days and the battery dies?

That's a deal-killer for S2RAM

Re: powerdevil Kubuntu 9.04 & KDE4.x

are you running any boot switches? Like no acpi? I believe that will cause the power functions to not work correctly. I'm going from memory though, I haven't had to use any boot commands for a while.

No, unless it put them in automatically during the build. How would I check?

Then S2RAM is a deal-killer for me. This thing sometimes sits for weeks unused.
