[Solved] Check Hibernate Settings

Dear Fellow Arch Users

I am trying to set up the hibernate function on my laptop and to that end I have consulted this and this. Before tearing everything apart, could somebody please check the steps below and either confirm or correct the procedure:

• My swap partition is on /dev/sda1

• Edit /etc/mkinicpio.conf, adding "resume" to the default configuration. The latter would now read

  base udev resume autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck

• Run: mkinitcpio -p linux

• Edit /etc/default/grub, so that its GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT entry now reads:

  quiet resume=/dev/sda1

  (My bootloader is GRUB)

• Run: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Re: [Solved] Check Hibernate Settings

Yes that looks correct.

My mkinitcpio:

base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck resume

My grub config:

resume=UUID=6a0dbb39-4af3-4da2-a730-b66f594d46ee quiet

Re: [Solved] Check Hibernate Settings

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I'll try it once I'm home and comment on whether it works.

Edit: Carried out the steps outlined in the initial post and everything seems to be working, thanks again for your reply.
