how to suspend and hibernate?

HamKat

unicorn045945 For Mate', menu navigation to get to the power settings is:

System, Preferences, Hardware, Power Management

Robin

In the Xfce version one can use Power Manager under Settings. I'm sure MATE has something very similar if you search the headings under the Settings menu.

acpiconf -s 4 works for me, I only have S4 and S5 states.

Hibernate is probably not working. I don't have any hardware working with hibernation. At least not since the last time I tried.

yeah, my computer powers off with that command but can't resume from hibernation

I am not sure if FreeBSD supports hibernation. I do know there is an effort to bring FreeBSD to the modern era for laptops and desktops. We will see if the support gets added. For me, all the hardware I have suspend and resume works really well.

At the moment FreeBSD is working on hibernation support. It probably won't work right now.
You may be able to suspend your system but this is also not well supported in FreeBSD.
What is the output of the command

sysctl -a | grep S3

Funny. I have not had an issue with GhostBSD suspending on an HP laptop while running KDE Plasma.

I punched in sysctl-a | grep S3 just to see what would happen. Here's what I got:

sysctl -a | grep S3
hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5

Interesting, to me at least. I wonder what the S4 and S5 states mean?

S4 means hibernation
S5 I think means power off maybe 🤔
