-====== Hibernation ====== 
  
-Hibernation (also known as suspend-to-disk) is method how to power down computer while preserving state of the operating system. Once powered up, operating system will be in the exact state as it was at the time of hibernation.  
- 
-In Slackware it works out-of-the-box. However, in order to resume successfully from hibernated state, you need to configure bootloader, so it knows where to resume from. 
- 
-===== Hibernating ===== 
- 
-==== Desktop Environments ==== 
- 
-KDE, XFCE and other [[slackware:desktop_environment|desktop environments]] offer hibernation from logout screen/menu. 
- 
-==== lightweight windows managers ==== 
- 
-You can hibernate your system from console. Either as root via pm-utils or D-Bus with additional programs as regular user. 
- 
-=== pm-utils === 
- 
-Hibernation is done via ''pm-hibernate'' command. 
- 
-=== D-Bus === 
- 
-Slackware offers two services to control power management in it's recent releases. UPower and HAL. Since HAL is deprecated in favor of UPower, use HAL in older Slackware releases (from 12.0 to 13.37), otherwise use UPower.  
- 
-Use one of these command to hibernate your system. 
- 
-== UPower ==  
- 
-<code bash> 
- $ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" \ 
- /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate 
-</code> 
- 
-== HAL == 
- 
-<code bash> 
-$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" \ 
- /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Hibernate 
-</code> 
- 
-===== Bootloader configuration ===== 
- 
-==== Non-LVM setup ==== 
- 
-=== LILO configuration === 
- 
-To tell your kernel where to resume from, you need to write the info to ''lilo.conf'': 
-<code> 
-append=" resume=/dev/sdaX" 
-</code> 
-Replace ''/dev/sdaX'' with your actual swap space. Swap partitions are perfect, I think swap files should work too. 
- 
-==== LVM setup ==== 
- 
-LILO doesn't support booting from LVM, therefore you have to create initial ramdisk (initrd). You need one even though your kernel has build-in support for LVM. 
- 
-You don't have to adjust ''lilo.conf'' because you can set everything resume-related in initrd. 
-<code> 
-mkinitrd -c -k <kernel-version> -f <fs_type> -m <fs_type> -r <root_partition> -h /dev/volumegroup/swap -L 
-</code> 
-  * -h set your hibernation/swap logical volume 
-  * -L activate LVM 
- 
-Afterwards, run lilo.
