On: FreeBSD Suspend/Resume

[com2kid]

Windows used to work about this well back in the XP days, possibly Windows 7 as well. Plenty of times I hit the "sleep" button that Logitech put right next to the esc key (....) and resumed the system to find everything working as expected.

Not sure if the embedded video is suspend to RAM or disk. Also not sure why there wasn't a PW prompt upon resume, but I'm not a BSD person, just someone who is paranoid about PW prompts.

Its Suspend to Disk (S3).

The purpose of this videos were to show only the suspend/resume process of FreeBSD system.

In my daily life I have two shortcuts related to this:

- [SUPER] + [L] - locks the system and leaves it running - and it requires to enter password

- [SUPER] + [CTRL] + [ALT] + [L] - locks the system AND PUTS IT INTO S3 SLEEP - and it requires to enter password if you wake it up

Hope that helps.

S3 is suspend to RAM. Suspend to disk is S4.

You are right - its Suspend to RAM - I wanted to reply fast ... which did not ended well.

Because there is usually a graceful period before forcing to authenticate.

Also, if it's Xorg lockscreen, then it's probably not very secure to begin with.
