[SOLVED] suspend-then-hibernate doesn't work, suspend and hibernate do

The post's title is pretty clear: Although suspend and hibernate work, suspend-then-hibernate does not.

I am on an encrypted system with an encrypted swap partition.

I leave at the bottom an extended journal, from which I would perhaps highlight the following line.

oct 17 00:02:44 myhost kernel: NVRM: GPU 0000:26:00.0: PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations module parameter is set. System Power Management attempted without driver procfs suspend interface. Please refer to the 'Configuring Power Management Support' section in the driver README.

However, I must insist: Suspention and hibernation work perfectly when required independently (parameter is set and Nvidia services enabled, both by default).

Solved it! Strangely, one of nvidia's systemd units is not enabled by default.

systemctl enable nvidia-suspend-then-hibernate.service

Re: [SOLVED] suspend-then-hibernate doesn't work, suspend and hibernate do

you could look at

#!/bin/zsh
units+="systemd-suspend.service "
units+="systemd-hibernate.service "
units+="systemd-suspend-then-hibernate.service "
units=(${(@s: :)units})
for u in $units;do
	systemctl cat $u
done
for u in $units;do
	systemd-analyze dot $u
done

here is mine https://gist.github.com/iambadwithname/ … 6429974c45
