Hibernation / sleep?

[trevoke]

Hi all,

 

I'm finally making my way back to Linux after a number of years lured away by OSX. I was an avid Gentoo user and I just successfully installed Funtoo on a new X1 Carbon. It was very easy and very friendly. Kudos on the documentation and the hard work to get the distribution there!

 

I haven't found any documentation related to putting the computer to sleep / hibernation.. And this is a laptop, so I'm going to want it to sleep when I close the lid. What does the Funtoo world recommend using for this?

hey trevoke,

 

since i am in the same spot than you installing funtoo first time on a laptop, these questions come to my mind aswell. As for power management i stumbled across laptop-mode-tools (http://www.funtoo.org/Power_Management). My assumption is that this packages provides the functionality for those events and actions, but im not quite sure. Havent installed it yet.

I just use sys-power/hibernate-script. Make sure you have the appropriate methods supported in the kernel and actions allowed in sudoers. Took me a bit of tinkering but got there in the end.
