[SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

My config: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=302717.

Whatever Wayland or X11, hibernate doesn't work: it acts like reboot, if I leave some open apps, hibernate then resume, empty desktop.
Same on the CLI, by stopping KDE:

systemctl isolate multi-user

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … nsistently doesn't help me.

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

echo root=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-JetFlash_Transcend_32GB_01JDP4E3DVWKHULY-0:0-part1 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-JetFlash_Transcend_32GB_01JDP4E3DVWKHULY-0:0-part2 rw>/mnt/etc/kernel/cmdline

Are you trying to boot from/hibernate to some sort of USB key?

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Waking from a hibernation will turn into a reboot if the hibernation image cannot be loaded for any reason.

Yes, why not? I try Arch Linux before I'll install to the NVME of my PC.

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

Actually running the OS from a usb key would kill the latter in no time, but on topic, the device might simply show up too late/not at all during the resume (ie. hibernating to a removable device might not be possible with that hardware)

Is that journal supposed to cover an attempt to resume a hibernating system?

just clears some residuals?

omg why?

So it would work on the NVME ?

It's only for the last boot? I rebooted sorry brb.

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

Because USB keys aren't cheap ssds - there's no wear leveling, you'll end up overusing isolated cells, they die and the firmware will move the key to read-only.

It's hard to say whether things will just work on your nvme, but the provided log does not look like it's coming out of a hibernation.
Maybe also post the previous to show what's going on there

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

(nb. that if you've meanwhile rebooted the previous log might actuall be the one you've posted before, increase the offset accordingly)

Or post journals from two boots where you're dead sure that you tried to hibernate in the first and resume from that in the second one.

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

Hibernate the system, attempt a resume, then post the journals for those two boots

(sudo journalctl -b -1; sudo journalctl -b) | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

No, but this one is.

Jan 19 20:33:20 archlinux kernel: PM: Image not found (code -16)
Jan 19 20:33:20 archlinux systemd-sleep[17866]: Performing sleep operation 'hibernate'...
Jan 19 20:33:20 archlinux kernel: PM: hibernation: hibernation entry

lsblk -f

Consider addressing it va its UUID, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … e_location and also please post your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (you didn't just forget to add the resume hook, did you?)

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

Add resume in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

HOOKS=(base udev autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard keymap consolefont block filesystems resume fsck)

then

sudo mkinitcpio -P

works! Thanks!

Sorry I came from Debian, no need to to it, /etc/mkinitcpio.conf doesn't even exist.

Re: [SOLVED] Hibernate acts like reboot

No need to be sorry.

The worst part about arch is that nothing works by itself.
You have to care about everything.
