I have upgraded my PC from OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101a to snv_101b which is Release Candidate 2.
The upgrade ran smoothly, as usual with three commands:
- dmerle@opensolaris:~$ pfexec pkg image-update
- dmerle@opensolaris:~$ pfexec pkg install SUNWipkg
- dmerle@opensolaris:~$ pfexec pkg image-update
When it comes to suspend-resume, it is now running OK for me. Although I had to run these two commands to setup supend-resume:
- dmerle@opensolaris:~$ /usr/sbin/pmconfig
- dmerle@opensolaris:~$ /usr/sbin/svcadm restart hal
You also have to add the line:
S3-support enable
at the end of file /etc/power.conf
Then, go in the menu System -> Shut Down... and choose Suspend.
You can Resume by connecting your mouse, or pushing the power button.
This morning, I also added 1GB memory into the Toshiba Tecra M3 laptop. This is the exact description I ordered. I ordered it at Offtek company, with the following reference: Fabricant: Toshiba Taille mémoire: 1Go Module Produit: Tecra
M3-183. It cost me 15 Euros.
Now I can run xVM Virtual Box without any latency. I have got enough memory:
| Application | Memory in use |
| Gnome | 44% |
| + Thunderbird |
44% |
| + Firefox 3.0.4 |
50% |
| + OpenOffice 3.0 |
55% |
| + xVM VirtualBox running Windows XP |
83 % |
