Why does it take so long until the system reacts to sleeping or hibernation request?
My system recently developed a very nasty habit, namely that when I
press the button to sleep or hibernate, it takes "forever" (i.e. up to 3 minutes!) until the system finally indeed goes asleep, or hiberates, resp. What is even more annoying is, that it apparently buffers multiple requests, i.e. if I "dare" to press sleep/hibernate again during that time, then - when I woke it up again - it will almost immediately sleep/hibernate again and this as often as I pressed the key. I recently had to wake it up 4 times, since I apparently pressed "hibernate" that often until if finally reacted. I find this whole behavior most infuriating! First: what could cause the system to take that long to react to a sleep/hibernate request? Ist there some "force"-option or some timeout that one can reduce, such that no app or driver is ever allowed to block a system's sleep/hibernation sequence for more than, say, 5 seconds at most? And second: can one somehow tweak the system to NOT buffer additional sleep/hibernation requests while it already is in the sequence? Michael |
