Well, just testing how stuff works and finding problems, is a big help to Puppy.

I have the same problem. xenial64, and tahrpup64- Frugal install on HP g60-235dx lappy. Vista, slacko64-frugal, Mint18-fullinstall all suspend as they should, but xenial and tahrpup64 will not, they just blank the screen kill eth0, fan and drive for a second.
I have tried all the suggestions in this thread, any other ideas?

Thanks, With ac unplugged script 1 & 2 worked for 1 sec, number 3 blanked the screen until I moved the mouse.

@PeteAir :-
what happens if you close the lid?

[PeteAir]

Closing the lid with ac plugged in = nothing
Closing the lid on battery fan goes off, power light stays strong.
There is something not in the buntu puppies for this to work. Slacko64 which is much older and has older kernel handles suspend perfectly.
thanks, pete

I fixed it!
The problem was that when I ran acpitool -s, the machine would power down, but immediately power up again. Frustrating.

The solution lay with the file /proc/acpi/wakeup.

You can't create or delete files in /proc without writing a module for the kernel, but you can view and manipulate them.

On my freshly booted (frugal) Xenialpup64, /proc/acpi/wakeup looks like this:
Code:

Device S-state Status Sysfs node
P32 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1e.0
UHC1 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.0
UHC2 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.1
UHC3 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.2
UHC4 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.3
ECHI S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:1d.7
EXP1 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.0
EXP2 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.1
EXP3 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.2
EXP4 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.3
AZAL S0 *enabled pci:0000:00:1b.0
MODM S0 *disabled


Where S-state = S3, we have to reset *enabled to *disabled.

Adding the following lines to a file and call it profile.local and save it to the folder ect/profile.d and REBOOT dont just reatart x.

Code:

echo "UHC1 S3 *disabled" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo "UHC2 S3 *disabled" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo "UHC3 S3 *disabled" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo "UHC4 S3 *disabled" > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo "ECHI S3 *disabled" > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Make changes according to YOUR wakeup file!!! Yours will be slightly different.

Now it sleeps when the lid is closed and wakes when open.

This was not my solution, it was from paulh177.

[d_vineet]

Yes. It worked. Thanks.
Just one interesting observation---
The script

[PeteAir]

d_vineet

Interesting, I didn't try that script, I just rebooted and closed the lid and it went sleepy pie. Open lid it awoke, I clicked on ect/acpi/actions/suspend.sh and it went to sleep, hit space bar and awoke. All is good.
