I am using OpenSUSE Slowroll on a Dell XPS 9530 15" laptop and hibernation does not work.
I think the issue may have something to do with my NVIDIA drivers.
In “Power Management” I have my laptop set to hibernate after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Whether I choose to Hibernate from the start menu, or whether I leave my laptop running on battery power for 10 minutes, I get the following output when the system is attempting to hibernate:
If I chose Hibernation from the start menu, my laptop shuts down successfully. But, when I turn the laptop back on, my system does not recover from hibernation; none of my programs or documents are open; the system behaves as if it had been shut down.
If the hibernation begins automatically after 10 minutes of inactivity on battery the system never shuts down and the output I showed you stays on the screen until the laptop runs out of battery.

Could you do the following?
First run systemctl hibernate. Based on your description, the system should turn off. Then, turn it on again and run the following five commands:
If I do “systemctl hibernate” I get the output shown in my original post however the system does not shut down. It just sits there so I need to do a hard shutdown with the power button. If this is the case, should I still run those five commands?
I wouldn’t expect a difference between system menu hibernate button and systemctl hibernate.
Do all of that and let’s see if some evidence show up in log.
# change hibernation mode to shutdown
# the platform mode can have issues handing over to BIOS/UEFI
echo 'shutdown' > /sys/power/disk
# verify change (shutdown should be enclosed in square brackets)
cat /sys/power/disk
# hibernate using
systemctl hibernate
# or
echo 'disk' > /sys/power/state
I made the change after first using the “su” command (this was the only way I could get permission to change /sys/power/disk). I verified the change also. I hibernated using ‘systemctl hibernate’ and the system did shut down but nothing was restored when I restarted; none of my programs or documents were still open. Now when I do ‘cat /sys/power/disk’ I no longer see those changes; shutdown is no longer enclosed in square brackets. If I leave my laptop on battery, it will now shutdown successfully however when I restart none of my programs or documents are open.
Sorry, forgot to mention. You need to be root to write/modify those variables.
Preferably using sudo -i or if using su using su -l to clear out the current user’s environment variables.
This is expected as we did not persist the runtime changes by writing to those pseudo files. See man 5 sysctl.d.
This could be due to some error saving the contents of RAM to disk or less likely restoring from it.
Make sure your swap partition is at least 1.1x the size of your RAM.
Provide output of cat /proc/cmdline. There should be a resume parameter pointing to your swap partition.
Get the logs from the current and last boot using:
As far as #1: I don’t think I even have a swap partition. I didn’t think I would need one since I have 64 GB of RAM, because the system wouldn’t need to swap. Do I need a swap partition to hibernate? I thought it could be written to a file. Maybe I’m just short of empty disk space.
Swap is needed to hibernate and can be in file. I guess you used the guided partitioning during installation and marked the option to expand swap. You only need swap enough to save the in memory data.
Try to add to add the parameter nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to Kernel. You can do it through YaST > Bootloader > Kernel parameters. Reboot and test hibernation.
I should have enough disk space for what is in memory. The reason I didn’t make a SWAP partition is because the OS would never need to do paging considering system has 64 GB of RAM.
I added this expression to “Optional Kernel Command Line Parameter” and when it was there the system would not shut down during hibernate; I had to do a hard shutdown by pressing the power button. I confirmed this 3 times. When I removed the expression the system was able to shut down properly during hibernation.
Either way, the restoration of programs and documents on startup still does not work.
