Suspend and hibernation on systemd-boot

General system Newbie

Hello
I am trying to enable suspend and hibernation on my system.
I have created a swap partition and what exactly do I do from here?

Something about finding out my swap partition UUID and adding it to my systemd-boot config file?

I ask because these are places I normally don’t touch unless I know what I’m doing. And I don’t know what I’m doing here :slight_smile:

Is the swap partition encrypted? If not, try editing /etc/kernel/cmdline, adding resume=UUID replacing UUID with the actual UUID of your swap partition and then run sudo reinstall-kernels

ok, that sounds dangerous. But I’ll try when I get home tonight. My swap is not encrypted

the following is in my file.

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvme_load=YES nowatchdog rw root=UUID=3d03e897-6bf0-4063-b681-cbac7e9e3ccf

and, it should be changed to the following?

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvme_load=YES nowatchdog rw root=UUID=3d03e897-6bf0-4063-b681-cbac7e9e3ccf resume=UUID

sudo reinstall-kernels

and it shouldn’t be

sudo bootctl update

I have 2 kernels.

Can I also change it in /efi/loader/entries/arch.conf and /efi/loader/entries/zen.conf

No. That does something totally different. That only needs to be run when the systemd version changes.

If you are using EndeavourOS’s systemd-boot config, those files are generated. When you run sudo reinstall-kernels they will be updated automatically.

If you have a separate manual install of systemd-boot, the instructions above don’t apply.

ok i’ll try later tonight.
I use the standard EOS system boot.

ok now i have done it.

But when I use the power button, my laptop wakes up again, without having saved the hibernation session.

What do I do from here?

FYI, for people who have the same problem as me.

I ran this command according to arch wiki and hibernation works now.
