Does this solution work for Desktop also?

[Mr.Puppy]

Do Suspbase and Susplid also work on other Linux distros like Antix?

Unzip the attached to /usr/bin, ensure executable, then make a desktop icon.
Clicking the icon should suspend after 1 sec, requiring either a lid close then open, or just a power button push, to resume.

How do I add a desktop icon on the Puppy Precise Desktop?

I have installed the Susplid0 scriptfile to the /root/Starup directory. I have put the SuspBase file to the /usr/bin directory. As soon as my Puppy Precise 5.7.1 desktop has started, it immediately fals into the suspend-to-memory state. I press the power button to wake-up and it falls back again into the suspend state.

Listing SuspLid0 file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# event handler to automatically suspend-to-ram when laptop lid is closed.

while true #Endless loop.
do
if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
then
sleep 12 # minimise resource usage
else
echo mem > /sys/power/state # send the suspend signal
sleep 1
fi
done

I dis ls /proc/acpi/button/lid and I saw the director LID instead of LID0. So I have to change the "if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state" to "if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state"

Sorry, but searching for acpi should bring a bunch of information .

The /usr/sbin/acpid is needed to launch scripts in /etc/acpi .

Unfortunately the values that are returned by the kernel for any buttons pressed might differ each patchlevel .

So files in /etc/acpi that get passed other values, than written in these , would simply ignore them .

I dis ls /proc/acpi/button/lid and I saw the director LID instead of LID0. So I have to change the "if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state" to "if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state"

YES
