Hibernate is not working since 3 weeks

kikibelux · October 13, 2025, 8:59pm

Hi everybody,

On my Desktop computer, Hibernate was running until 3 weeks, maybe after an update.

Thanks you

Salut @kikibelux ,
Try
sudo dracut-rebuild
first.
btw I have

cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/resume-from-hibernate.conf
add_dracutmodules+=" resume "
install_items+=" /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-resume.service "

kikibelux · October 19, 2025, 8:44pm

ok
I try tomorrow
Thanks , merci

anything change !

thanks

Hi,
Somebody can say( write) where the “how do” is to make a functional Hibernate ?

Thanks a lot

K.

thefrog · October 25, 2025, 9:29am

This is from the Arch Wiki. Keep in mind that eos uses dracut and not mkinitcpio

wolfn · October 25, 2025, 1:09pm

If it worked some weeks before: Can you compare your journal from this time vs. now?
I think, you should see some differences?
(Check both, hibernate & resume…)

emk2203 · October 25, 2025, 4:27pm

That’s the complaint from systemd in your last log, referring to Hibernate Storage Info.

Could you check if this path exists?

In general, hibernation still works as expected here. Resumed E-OS just 5 minutes ago.

Also, is your swap partition big enough? With modern RAM compression, you would need at least three quarters of your RAM.

If you didn’t use much RAM, you could work with a lot less.

If this is not insightful, I would advise you tear the hibernate settings you have down and start over with setting hibernate up.

Current hibernate process is quite impressive imho.

I have a dual-boot Ubuntu/E-OS, and can hibernate both to the same swap partition (if the amount of RAM needed for both is not too high). It gets sorted out at boot.

wolfn · October 25, 2025, 5:33pm

That’s the hammer! Did not try so far.
Having Debian + EOS and will test it asap.
Great option for me - THANK YOU!!!

emk2203 · October 26, 2025, 8:09am

I discovered that purely by accident when I forgot that I already hibernated one system.

During boot, the system looks for a matching hibernation image somewhere in the swap partition, and if it finds one, it starts it. Foreign images are skipped with an info line on screen. Really neat.

kikibelux · October 30, 2025, 6:16pm

I Use 32GB of ram, I Update to 45GB in swap . I test it tonight

Thanks

emk2203 · October 31, 2025, 8:30am

How were your results? I am curious. Hibernation stopped for me unfortunately on one PC, I think it was the Nvidia driver update. Need to investigate why the computer won’t want to sleep or hibernate now.

I Test an update !

kikibelux · October 31, 2025, 7:27pm

I do an update

and it seem that this line appear when i don’t ask an " hibernate"

thus like that the system check if a Image exist on the swap !

If not, the boot continue !

I’m newbies on “like arch linux” thus ilf you have a link with doc about this…

THANK you to US !

emk2203 · October 31, 2025, 10:41pm

This has nothing to do with the swap size. Something on the latest (or next-to-latest Nvidia driver update borked the hibernation. I can confirm that I have ‘this line’ as well, and I don’t understand it either. The UUID is that of the swap partition. But then, I’m lost. Seems to refer to some of the inner workings of the hibernation file (?).

I guess we have to wait for an update to the Nvidia driver to fix this.

kikibelux · November 1, 2025, 3:09pm

To understand what’s append !

journalctl --since “2025-05-20 23:30:00” --until "2025-05-21 23:59:59 | grep -i “hibe”

I find this line :

mai 21 17:48:47 HPI7 kernel: efivarfs: removing variable HibernateLocation-8cf2644b-4b0b-428f-9387-6d876050dc67

and so, this one :

But The hibernation was ok !

I am experiencing the same problem, and I have been able to isolate the cause to PowerDevil.

I have temporarily solved it with swayidle apparently

swayidle seems only available with Wayland, Wayland don’t work correctly on my computer

Thanks

@emk2203 , about nvidia driver, I meet this error after update by Pacman

Install DKMS modules
==> ERROR: Missing 6.17.8-hardened2-1-hardened kernel modules tree for module nvidia/580.105.08.

What do you think about this ?
Is there a link with my hibernate issue ?

Thanks
