[Solved] Suspend Question

[waj1122]

I'm running fully updated lxde on this laptop. If I suspend the system when it restarts the screen shows only the background, no taskbar or anything. I have to press <ctrl> <alt> <c> for it to finish loading. It's not a big problem, just curious as to why this is necessary or if I did something wrong when setting up the system? It doesn't do this on boot or reboot.

What size is your /swap?

Should I increase the /swap file and if so can you point me in the right direction? I had an older version of PCLinuxOS on this computer previously and everything seemed to work.  I really like lxde and PCLinuxOS.

I see no swap listed there. A / and 2 /media partitions are listed.

The size of your swap partition depends on the amount of RAM you have. The less RAM, the bigger the swap you need. When using suspend, you need a bigger swap.

Ok, thanks for the input. I thought it was something I did on my end. I used the same partition(s) that I had on a previous install.

This is what shows in pcc:
Mount point: swap
Device: sda6
UUID: d7e39008-6f3a-48f1-b671-c53fccdc5404
Type: Linux swap (0x82)
Start: sector 230739968
Size: 1.7GB (1%), 3700736 sectors
Cylinder 14362 to 14593

I disabled from starting the avahi-daemon since I wasn't using the service. Don't know if that was it or not but so far, so good. Solved to my satisfaction.
