Yes, a tap on the screen will wake it up; the question is if LinuxICE already handles this, and how =)

probably gnome-power-manager? I'm not doing anything special.

And you're done

Yeah! That's the kind of answer I wanted! Thanks!

Someone solved #1, so as I promised, here is a fix for #2.

tune2fs is an utility that you can use to change both the number of bootups between filesystem checks, and the number of days/weeks/months between filesystem checks.

For example to have the filesystem checked once every 60 bootups use
$sudo tune2fs -c 60

To have the filesystem check run periodically, say once a week, use
$sudo tune2fs -i 1w
changing the “w” to “d” or “m” will have the check run once daily and once monthly – you get the idea.

As always, you can read
$man tune2fs
for more detailed information and examples.

To disable filesystem integrity check for the next bootup, create a file called /fastboot.

This will disable filesystem check only once.

On the contrary to force a filesystem check the next time you bootup, create a file called /forcefsck by doing
$sudo touch forcefsck
