Debian – How to hibernate in Debian Jessie

debianhibernate

When I use the "hibernate" button in the Xfce menu on Debian Jessie (testing) The system seems to correctly hibernate and power off. Then when I power on again to resume it hangs before X is started (I can see the normal console boot message though).

So I wanted to install the uswsusp package, but it seems to be not available on Jessie.

Any ideas how I can enable hibernation on Jessie without uswsusp?

This solved it for me. Apparently some BIOSes will not work with 'platform' which is the default.

# fix for current boot
echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk

To fix it across reboots:

# or fix permanently
apt-get install sysfsutils
echo "power/disk = shutdown" >> /etc/sysfs.d/local.conf
/etc/init.d/sysfs restart

Linux – No hibernate option in power manager on Mint 16 MATE

Edit this file: /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

eg.: sudo gedit /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

Add this content:

[Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

This will add hibernate option in menu. But if you want to hibernate, when LID will close, then execute this (this will enable hibernation when LID is closed):

sudo sed -i 's/#HandleLidSwitch=suspend/HandleLidSwitch=hibernate/g' /etc/systemd/logind.conf

And restart system or execute: sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind.service

I have gotten this from another blog and it works for me. This can work even without sudo as long as you have not modified your PAM configuration.

systemctl hibernate -i

Please take note systemctl --help for further options.
