[00:40] <ojwb> hmm, so i turn my old laptop on and discover it's hibernated not shut down
[00:40] <ojwb> which is interesting as hibernating didn't work last time I tried
[00:40] <ojwb> and I log in to find the shutdown confirmation dialog up
[00:40] <ojwb> I thought it counted down 60 seconds now...
[02:44] <chilts> who knows
[02:45] <chilts> I've never tried hibernation ... I just figure it won't work from within XMonad (I also have no idea how to tell it to do it either) :)
[02:48] <ojwb> chilts: well, it essentially saves the state of the whole machine, so it should work from anywhere
[02:48] <ojwb> at least if you can make it happen - I think there's a command line interface to it
[02:49] <chilts> yeah, I was thinking there must be somewhere
[02:50] <chilts> /etc/acpi/sleep.sh and /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh I believe
[02:50] <chilts> I'll try it later
[02:53] <chilts> so suspend uses a little power to keep things running, hibernate uses no power
[02:54] <chilts> wake up suspend by pressing a key or clicking the mouse, wake up hibernate by pressing the power button
[02:54] <ojwb> yes, suspend comes back in almost no time
[02:54] <chilts> that's as far as I can figure it out (for my own purposes) :)
[02:54] <chilts> cool
[02:54] <ojwb> hibernate can be a bit sluggish as stuff comes back from swap
[03:05] <chilts> looks like it just slept and once reconnected to my wireless, all looks ok :)
[03:08] <ojwb> yeah, you can expect it to work these days
[03:08] <ojwb> it used to be a bit pot luck
[03:25] <chilts> :)
