I read a web page sometime ago says these would work: - put your computer into "sleep" (to RAM): $ sudo su -c 'echo "mem" > /sys/power/state' - put your computer into "hibernate" (to disk): $ sudo su -c 'echo "disk" > /sys/power/state' I just tried both, but "hibernate" doesn't work on my Archlinux but works on Debian (with an older kernel) on my laptop. - Tim On 2016-12-31 07:38+0100, Peter Nabbefeld wrote:
Hello,
since some time, hibernation does not work, dmesg contains following messages:

Some time ago, when I closed my laptop, Linux automatically hibernated, now it does not. As my laptop becomes really warm and I don't want to stress my display, I'm using this rarely, so I cannot tell, since when hibernation doesn't work :-/
