Hi maybe my e-mail did not send, or I accidentally sent it to only one
person instead... not sure..  sometimes I start writing an e-mail and
get distracted by real life.
The funny thing is I just got distracted by real life after I wrote that
line :)  but I will send this one :)

Ok, so this means the chroot update grub script it not getting run...  I
will look into the script a bit more to see what is happening.

I think it is a SWAP issue, as I use the basic Upower hibernate
command... though I may need to call the sync command before.

Either way, I do not think it is ready for ToriOS, but we do not need it
yet anyhow.  xfce-power-manager works well for 12.04.  But, I needed a
battery monitor for 14.10 :)

Hmmmm... this it very strange.  I will have to test this out in 14.04 soon.

Hmmm... Oh!  I know, I didn't use unstable in the installed system.  Are
you going to update the stable PPA?

Yes, Interprog recently reported this issue.  This will be fixed in the
next release!
Thank you for reminding me!

Hmmm... I will look into this.  This isn't the live session, right?

Ok, we should possibly move ztweaks into its own package (rather than
part of OBI)
This way it will be easy to install on its own.  I need to work on OBI
so I will try to do this soon.
