Systemd starts hibernating but stops after a few seconds

Zikael · 2014-02-09 08:18:03

Hi,

I tried to make my computer hibernate (by following the wiki instructions), so I added my swap partition path into the grub file and the resume hook into mkinitcpio.conf. Then, I tried to hibernate, the hibernation process starts and my screen turns off but, after 1 or 2 seconds, it turns on again and the line

A dependency job for hibernate.target failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.

appears in the terminal.

So I check what's wrong with systemctl with

systemctl --state=failed

and it says that the hibernation service doesn't work, ideed.

UNIT                      LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
dhcpcd@eno1.service       loaded failed failed dhcpcd on eno1
systemd-hibernate.service loaded failed failed Hibernate

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

2 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

For more details, I run

systemctl status systemd-hibernate

And I can see the PID of the process that failed :

systemd-hibernate.service - Hibernate

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

but when I try to see what is the problem with that process in journalctl, with

journalctl -b _PID=32348

I have

Failed to parse relative boot ID number '_PID=32348'

So I can't go further, what could I do to make it work ?

Reboot your system, then make an attempt to hibernate.

After that, post the full output of

journalctl -b

please.
