Good News, Bad News

Good News First! – I tried Hibernating on my FC5 Install yesterday [well, thats my desktop so I was just messing with it], and heh -it worked! I was pleasantly surprised!

Bad News – I hate NetworkManager because it could not handle the Hibernate properly and was not able to connect back to my [b]wired[/b] network. It was rather annoying – so I just ended up rebooting for the lack of patience to fix that problem but I’ll take a look at it sometime – It probably would’ve been fixed with a: “service network restart” but.. heh – i lacked common sense yesterday. Thats the good news so far. Everything remained intact and I just realized that because I added the Utopia.Repo, I’m running GPM (Gnome Power Manager) 2.15.92 – heh. But anyways, I’m really happy that we [as a Linux community - without segregating the distributions or desktop environments] are getting closer to solving all the problems for the Power Management issues we had in the past. I just hope that everyone has a similar experiece with Gnome Power Manager, especially those with a laptop.   I am sure the NetworkManager thing also has some solution but I’m too lazy right now to google it. I’ve seen something about /etc/hibernate.conf or something like that – I might have to mess with it. Anyways, thats all for today’s Linux experiences.
