How can I hibernate my Aspire Switch 10E?

Hello, I have a recently purchased Acer Aspire Switch 10 E.  Since I purchased it I have not had the option to hibernate the computer.  I know that the OS, Windows 8.1, by default often does not have the option to hibernate, but even when I go to control panel, power options and change settings that are currently unavailable I do not have the option to hibernate.  I have updated windows and drivers, went to the registry to check it allows for hibernation and used some command line tools but still no option. I was begining to think that perhaps the device is not capable of hibernation as it seems others with this pc have the same issue, but I found that in the advanced power option the default for critcal power action is to hibernate.  As I use several programs on this pc while travelling and meeting clients, it is important that I can retain work in progress over long periods where putting it to sleep will just loose the battery and restarting work after a full shutdown is impractical so any advice would be gratefully recieved. Thanks.Tom

tomeq,
Try this:
Open Power Options by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Power options in the search box, and tapping or clicking Power options.
Tap or click Choose what the power button does and under Shutdown settings, select Hibernate (if it's available).

  • Acer Aspire Switch 10E - unable to boot, no keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently bought an Acer Aspire Switch 10E to do my terrain work, and would love to be able to run Linux on it. I'm running into one problem after another though (most likely because some things aren't officially supported yet, but I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences who might be able to help me out. To cut the long story short, from my own experience, I'm sure Linux can run on this.
    In any case, the machine features a quad-core Intel Atom CPU (which should work AFAIK), with Intel HD graphics (which should also work flawlessly AFAIK). It also features a Realtek RTL8273BS WiFi network card (haven't got to trying it out, but my guesstimate is that it requires some proprietary firmware, since it didn't work on Ubuntu live). It has a 1280x800 touchscreen (which worked flawlessly on Ubuntu live), and a dockable keyboard (now that one boggles me). This is just a quick "tldr" version of what the machine is supposed to be. It's basically a 64-bit x86-compatibile tablet PC with a dockable keyboard and which shipped with Windows 8.1.
    Okay, so first things first. The Acer Aspire Switch 10E has a 32-bit UEFI, and there is no possible way of booting an OS (live or otherwise, Linux or otherwise) which only has a 64-bit EFI image. There is no legacy BIOS on the motherboard, so (to whom it may concern), don't even bother with online tutorials that tell you to switch to legacy BIOS, as there is no way to enable it. On the other hand, a valid 32-bit EFI image will boot, even in Secure Mode, so don't bother disabling that either. In other words, there is absolutely no need to change anything in the UEFI setup in order to boot Linux, apart from adding your 32-bit EFI image to a trusted list.
    Thus, in order to boot any live Linux media, it is (TTBOMK) required to either generate a working 32-bit EFI image, or use an existing one. It took me a while to figure that out, on top of the time to figure out how to generate my own 32-bit EFI image, without breaking something. Bear with me here - this is the first machine I ever owned that features an UEFI, let alone an UEFI without legacy BIOS.
    Here is the stuff I found, which I was able to use to get to this point:
    UEFI GPT Arch Linux USB (bootx64.efi and bootia32.efi) - Taylorbyte.com
    Acer Aspire Switch 10 can't boot 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu Forums
    From Ubuntu forums, I learned about this and this, both of which have bootable 32-bit EFI images, which work on Ubuntu live. Those, however, did not work with Arch Linux, for some reason, so I generated my own EFI images from the tutorial found on Taylorbyte.com. Not absolutely sure if I did it right however, since the tutorial seemed a bit dated, but it did get me into the basics I needed.
    So, I now have a bootable USB drive with Arch Linux installed on it, with both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI images. My Acer Aspire 10E recognises the 32-bit EFI image and boots into GRUB loader from it, which asks me whether to boot into Arch Linux or Arch Linux Fallback. At this point, my keyboard still works, and I can choose either.
    However, as soon as I choose Arch Linux to boot, it complains about being unable to boot from "UUID=<my USB's UUID>", and drops me into a boot console. The cursor blinks, but the keyboard input is not recognised at all.
    I have recompiled the kernel for my live Arch USB (via makepkg -o and makepkg -e) as stated on the Ubuntu forums (setting HID_MAX_USAGE = 65536 in a certain header file in the kernel sources), but it didn't do much. The kernel still compiles, so I guess that's a plus.
    Without keyboard, I am unable to install Arch on this machine, and I'm currently stuck with this error, which I'm not sure what to make of. I have never stated any UUID's while configuring my Arch live USB, so I suppose something is detecting it automatically, thus preventing Arch from booting (no idea what it could be, though).
    So to conclude, I need help with booting Arch live USB on this machine, as well as getting keyboard to work. I have read here and there some people had some success with either Arch, Fedora or Ubuntu, and I've seen (32-bit) Debian 8.1 installer boot normally - without keyboard or wifi, though.
    Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Marc, Thanks for the swift response.  I'm not sure if Acer (Philippines) will be able to give the necessary support since they are only selling the Switch 10 (not even Switch 11! So backwards!) . I don't mind reinstalling the file from time to time as long as it will fix the problem asap. Would it be possible to know how often you reinstalled the exe file to fix the problem?  One more thing, the only thing that's hindering on buying the Switch 12 are problems like these (since we don't have the tech support yet). Would it be possible for you to send me the fix for the keyboard problem? Thank you very much! ++ How's the experience when you are using it on your lap, let say when travelling on a plane ? Is the built stable enough that it won't stumble that easily?

  • How can i initialize a button (Switch when pressed) to be always disabled when i start the programm.

    Hello
    How can i initialize a button (Switch when pressed) to be always disabled when i start the programm. My problem is that the state of the button is always the state in which it finihed last time.
    Thanks
    Lukas

    A button is either true or false. "Disabled" is a property that determines if the button can be operated or not.
    It seems from the rest of your question that you actually want to ensure that it is set to false, but remain enabled. This is easiest done with a local variable as already mentioned by becktho.
    If you want to disable the button, use a property node.

  • How can i control a toggle switch manually and automatica​lly?

    Hello,
    I want to know how can it be possible to automatically flip a toggle switch when data comes in.
    I know this can be done manually, but what about automatically, without any user?

    I would suggest to place the booleans into a 2D array, less things to shuffle.

  • How can I keep music while switching iPods?

    My fiancee just replaced her old nano with a new iPod mini touch. Her music on the current iPod will be deleted when her new one gets plugged in for the first time, since she hasn't synced her pod in years. How can she keep it and have it transferred to the new one? Thanks in advance!

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of the music?

  • How to get normal bios [aspire switch 10 1st gen]

    Hey everyone I wanted to boot Android on my aspire switch from a live-cd USB. However, even when I put USB drive as the first item in the boot order list, it still boots Windows. Also, Acer's bios seems to be much more limited than those on normal computers. Is there any way to get past Acer's bios and into a normal, old command-line-esque bios where there are more options?

    No, it's not possible to have the old fashioned BIOS style; Switch 10 is a modern device.

  • How can I open/close the switches of HP34903A independently via the subvi "HP34970A switch.vi"separated from "HP34970A GP Switch DEMO.vi" in HP34970A driver?

    I separated the subvi HP34970A switch.vi from the HP34970A GP Swich DEMO.vi in HP34970A driver. But I found that first I ran the subvi to close switch2 and switch3, then I ran the subvi to open switch3,but the result is both channels were open. Finally I found whenever you run the subvi HP34970A switch to close some switches, all other switches will be open. Can anyone tell me how I can open/close the switches of HP34903A independently?

    I use this VI and have no problem independently opening and closing the relays. Check that the Close Exclusive input is set to "Normal". Also, are you sure that the Channel List input only has a single entry? Using your example, the first time you run it, the channel list should be 102,103 with Open/Close set to close. The second time, the channel list should be 103 and Open/Close set to open.

  • How can I stop Firefox from switching to proxy setting from no proxy

    I have a Fios connection so the proxy setting is "no proxy" . Every time I close Firefox, it switches to the proxy setting button and highlights a proxy. It has just started doing this about 5 days ago after 3 years on this computer. It doesn't do it on my laptop. Each time I check the "no proxy" button to connect, but the next time I open Firefox, it's back to proxy.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How can I make my phone switch to 3g/4g from wifi automatically?

    my internet at home drops out all the time, and my phone stays connected to the wifi even though it isnt working (full wifi signal just no data going through), is there a way to make the phone switch back to 3g/4g/lte at this time???
    thanks

    Sounds l,e a problem with your router. The iPhone switches automatically to cellular when a Wi-Fi signal is not present. But in your case the Wi-Fi signal is there but the router seems to have lost the connection to the Internet.
    Try rebooting your router bye wearing off for thirty seconds then turn it back on. Also reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • C6-00 How can I disable sliding lock switch?

    Hello...
    Explanation:
    I realized that even when I block the keys and touch screen (end/Power key + block keys on menu) the sliding right side lock switch does not get blocked, so any accidental slide of it (e.g when putting it in my pocket) will turn on my phone.
    Does anybody know if it is possible to disable the sliding right side lock switch when general key blocking?
    THNX
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I went to a NCC desk last week. They confirmed to me that it is not possible to disable the sliding "unlock" switch.
    Personally, I think that it would be very useful to have at leasrt a "2 sequences" unlocking procedure with the sliding "unlock" switch - as with the front white which (push+sliding on screen) - so accidental tuning on could be avoided.
    Thnx.

    Just wire the switches to the corresponding pins of the UMI-7764. Search Home in the user manual for more details.
