Unable to Hibernate

English Hardware
#1

Whenever I try to hibernate it just locks the screen.

My /var/log/pm-suspend.log says ERROR: no resume parameter on kernel commandline, can not suspend

How do I fix this

Initial commandline parameters: --quirk-vbestate-restore

Paste the kernel command line.

Ah, here it is. You do not have a resume parameter, hybernation to disk is impossible.
Do you have a swap partition? You need one, of at least the memory size or a bit more.

I do have a swap partition.

Ok, check that it is active with “swapon -s”. If it is not, find out why. You need an entry in fstab.

Once that is correct, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

Copy the kernel paragraph to a new one (new title), and add an entry similar to
“resume=/dev/disk/by-label/b_swap”. Example:


> title Desktop -- openSUSE 11.2 - 2.6.31.14-0.1
>     root (hd0,1)
>     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.14-0.1-desktop root=/dev/disk/by-label/a_main resume=/dev/disk/by-label/b_swap splash=verbose quiet showopts vga=0x31a
>     initrd /initrd-2.6.31.14-0.1-desktop

Make sure this entry is the default one, reboot, and test hibernation.

Thank you very much! Adding that to my grub fixed my problem.

I hope nobody minds me posting a variation of the answer to this question.
If using grub2-efi (menu.lst does not exist), I got it to work by doing the following:

I determined the uuid of my swap partition /dev/sda3 by running

blkid

I then added

resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<omitted>

(filling in the uuid instead of <omitted>) to the optional kernel command line parameter for grub2-efi using yast. I can see this goes into /boot/grub2-efi/grub.cfg .

After a reboot hibernation would work. (However, eth0 would disappear, but the solution to that can be found here if you encounter it: https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network-internet/448346-opensuse-11-3-no-ethernet-after-sleep-suspend-ram.html)

#8

By that I meant eth0 would disappear after resuming from hibernation.

#9

You should not edit grub.cfg directly. (A kernel update will overwrite for example). Instead, make your changes to /etc/default/grub, then run

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Unrelated to the grub change.

Somewhat above my head. Need a more thorough hand holding to accomplish getting my unavailable option to hibernate from the reboot menu accessible. Don’t know why it’s not there but I recently reinstalled and allowed that procedure to create/assign the partitions but believe there is a swap partition. Not sure of even that though. Can someone help me out here please? Thanks.

Please start a new thread with your problem and a detailed description.
Placing your question at the end of a 3 year old thread (pertaining to a
different problem from yours) will hide it from people able to help you
better.

This is peculiar to me in that on previous installations on the same machine, I was able to access the hibernate command from the Shutdown Menu without incident. After just recently installing and allowing that procedure to create and assign partitions, I find the option to be no longer available. I’ve read a few posts on this problem and it seems to be Swap File related, which I do have one of 2GB in size (same RAM amount) and there seems similarly a Policy Kit function applied to have the command appear in the Shutdown Menu.

Frankly this is somewhat stupifying to me because I don’t know what caused the option to no longer be available but I am here for that specific reason. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
