Sleep mode does not work acpitool -s

#1 Post by johnyaarts »

Hi, i am a newbe and have installed puppy slacko5.4frugal on a asrock ion 330 htpc.
Until no everything works fine.
But i have a problem with turn the pc to sleep mode
After comand acpitool -S
The computer doesn't go in sleepmode, the output of the command acptool -s is

Function Do_Suspend : could not open file : /proc/acpi/sleep.
You must have write access to /proc/acpi/sleep to suspend your computer.

What am I doing wrong?
Regards

I have the same problem with acpitool -s. I have a frugal install of Puppy Precise 5.7.1 and I have given write-access to the directory /proc/acpi/. Even after giving write-access to the directory /proc/acpi/ I still have this problem. I can't even make the file sleep manually in the directory /proc/acpi/.

Could this issue be caused by the frugal install itself? And has anybody any idea how to fix this acpitool -s problem?

you can suspend without acpitool.
paste this in console

Code: Select all

echo mem > /sys/power/state
this method works on my eeepc.

This method works. And how do I suspend it to disk like Windows XP does with Hibernate?

ozsouth kindly created 'suspbase' which solved the problem on my thinkpads (T61,T500)
