[19:52] <ceauke> hello
[19:53] <persia> Hey
[19:53] <ceauke> ah cool
[19:53] <ceauke> someone is here. I haven't irc'ed in ages
[19:54] <ceauke> quick question: I'm new to laptop testing and I have an issue with the hibernate function. I want to log a bug for it but don't know to which component it belogns
[19:55] <ceauke> is this part of the kernel?
[20:08] <persia> How are you testing hibernate?  If you're just tossing values into /proc, yeah, that would be the kernel.
[20:09] <persia> If you're using some userspace tool, it's less clear where the bug resides.
[20:11] <ceauke> hi persia. thanks for responding.
[20:12] <ceauke> I'm clicking the power button on the menu/task bar and select hibernate then
[20:14] <persia> OK.  Take a look at pm-hibernate from the pm-utils package.  Going through that you ought find a way to manually trigger the hibernation in the kernel.
[20:14] <persia> If that works, and the GUI method doesn't, the bug lies in the GUI tool (e.g. gnome-power-manager).
[20:14] <persia> If that doesn't work, the bug lies in the kernel.
[20:15] <persia> If by going through the pm-utils code you can't find any way to actually hibernate, file the bug against pm-utils.
[20:15] <persia> If you need help tracking this down, I'd recommend asking for help in finding the right package in #ubuntu-bugs.
[20:16] <persia> This channel is mostly about strategies to discover problems.  Once you have a known problem, #ubuntu-bugs is a better place to find out how to get it reported correctly.
[20:21] <ceauke> cheers man. this is great info! :-)
