[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#502043:

Upstream says it won't be fixed until the next major release after
2.0.4. 

Here is a hack fix I've made to at least protect from data loss.


create /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/00virtualBox and make it executable

put this in the script. I have hardcoded for the only VM I care about,
and you need to run it as the user who runs the virtual machine.

Obviously very ugly, but does the job. 


#!/bin/sh

#. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

case "$1" in
	hibernate|suspend)
		#suspend_nm
                sudo -u tim VBoxManage controlvm XP savestate
		;;
	thaw|resume)
		#resume_nm
		;;
	*) exit $NA
		;;
esac
