Hibernation not working, new install

General system Newbie
1

Hi! I just installed EndeavourOS_Endeavour_neo-2024.09.22.iso on a new Acer Aspire 3 15, I had the install medium replace windows in its entirety and used LUKS to ecrypt the drive. I chose the “swap with hibernation” option.

Whenever i prompt the machine to hibernate, it seems to successfully go into hibernation. When I wake it up, it comes back on, asks me the password to decrypt the drive, then it says it is loading back from hibernation. Afterwards, it goes to a blank black screen and it doesn’t do anything from there.

How can I get hibernation to work on this computer?

Welcome to the community @redbike :wave::sunglasses: :enos_flag:

Sometimes these issues are hardware specific. You might share your system details, to help us better isolate possible causes:

inxi -Fxx --za

The other thing you might try (based on this article), is boot with the LTS kernel, if you aren’t already doing that.

To install the LTS kernel:

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

Having the LTS kernel installed is advisable in any case, as a backup option in case a regression is introduced into the main kernel.
