In Slackware, hibernation works out-of-the-box and can be easily done from KDE's menu or XFCE logout dialog. Resuming from hibernation, however, is not set up, so when you turn on your computer again, it starts as normal. That is, if your hardware supports it and if you've set up a swap space larger than your RAM.

	== ~~Huge kernel~~ ==		== Hibernating in lightweight windows managers ==

			In case you aren't using KDE, XFCE or other desktop environments, you can hibernate your system from console.

			=== pm-utils ===

			As root, you can hibernate via <tt>pm-hibernate</tt> command.

			=== As regular user ===

			==== HAL ====

			Since HAL is deprecated and removed from Slackware 14.0, this works for older Slackware releases.

			$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.Hal" \
			/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Hibernate

			==== UPower ====
			dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" \
			/org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate

			== Booloader configuration ==

			=== Non-LVM setup ===

			==== LILO configuration ====

Merge-delete: Crude and minimal (but to the point) hibernation help

Crude and minimal (but to the point) hibernation help

New page

In Slackware, hibernation works out-of-the-box and can be easily done from KDE's menu. Resuming from hibernation, however, is not set up, so when you turn on your computer again, it starts as normal. That is, if your hardware supports it and if you've set up a swap space larger than your RAM.

To tell your kernel where to resume from, you need to write the info to ''lilo.conf'':

append=" resume=/dev/sda6"

Replace ''/dev/sda6'' with your actual swap space. Swap partitions are perfect, I think swap files should work too. If you don't know where your swap lies, look at ''/proc/swaps''.
