I always fail to hibernate; it only seems to sleep

Every time I try to hibernate, it just seems to sleep; it wakes up after a few seconds without me doing anything: all the apps and windows are as they were just before I hit hibernate.

Here is the output of my journalctl -u systemd-hibernate.service

install_items+=" /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-resume.service "
add_dracutmodules+=" resume "

I wonder what I missed…?

please remove the first line (install_items+=" /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-hibernate-resume.service ") from your /etc/dracut.conf.d/resume.conf.
if you want to hibernate use following command :
sudo systemctl hibernate -i

cat /proc/cmdline

What is the output?

Hi, thanks for the response. Unfortunately, this has not solved it…

Hi, thanks for the response. Here is the output of my cat /proc/cmdline

You need to add your resume device to your kernel boot options (cmdline).
In EndeavourOS with systemd-boot, I think you need to it in /etc/kernel/cmdline

Yes, see:

How to modify kernel options

In systemd-boot, it is actually quite simple. You edit the appropriate entry file which can be found on your EFI partition in the loader/entries directory. Each entry is a boot option on the menu and each has a line called options. You can modify these entries directly, however, these changes may be overwritten when packages are installed or updated.

To make the changes, instead of modifying the entries, modify the file /etc/kernel/cmdline which is a one-line file containing a list of kernel options. Then run sudo reinstall-kernels which will populate the entries and regenerate the initrds.

So I updated my /etc/kernel/cmdline like so

nvme_load=YES nowatchdog rw root=UUID=my-root-id resume=UUID=my-swap-id

then I run

sudo reinstall-kernels

Then I tried hibernating, but the behavior persisted…

And I found this error on my journalctl:

kscreenlocker_greet[11238]: qt.qpa.wayland: Could not create EGL surface (EGL error 0x3000)

Could this be related to my problem…?

I don’t know. Maybe some other people can help more at this point.

This is a graphics related error. I’m not sure that it would be the cause of your issue but i don’t know 100%.
