Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix.

Yes, I can suspend with a card in the left slot after tweaking the system and making it auto unmount it before entering in suspend mode and it works nicely

 

How do you do that?

Cheers

Glen,

All you need to do is create a little script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ with the right command to unmount the sd. All scripts in that folder get executed before entering in suspend mode.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#00umount-sd - script to unmount sd/sdhc before suspend
umount /media/(your sd mount dir)
exit

Don't forget to chmod it and give execution rights. After that your AAO should unmount the SD before going to suspend.

 

Will give it a go this weekend - thanks!

I have not had to chmod a file before so this could turn interesting!

This initial solution didn't solve it completely for me. It unmounted and suspended correctly but for some reason the computer did not suspend when the SD card was not mounted. After googeling a while I came across this script that finally did it for me:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
hibernate)
umount /media/disk
echo "unmounting SD card"
;;
suspend)
umount /media/disk
echo "unmounting SD card"
;;

*) 
;;
esac

Do you use Visual Effects On in your AAO 110L with 512RAM and SSD?

 

@Jango,
I have the AAO 110L with 1,5 GB of RAM. I'm running Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE4 and full 3D/Compositing Desktop activated. Runs great on this little machine. Surprisingly much better than Xubuntu 9.10.
I haven't tested the NBR version or the standard Ubuntu as I'm not a fan of Gnome nor of the netbook interfaces.
I just came across this post as I was looking for a solution for my suspend issues...

I still had problems with suspend when the sd card was mounted and a file was opened which led to system freeze... :-(

Meanwhile I found an even smarter script to do the umount:

When a file is in progress the suspend will be stopped, otherwise the sd card will be unmounted before suspend
