Hibernate is missing from the logout menu

[Moderator BobC]

This is on a Dell XPS 15 laptop running AntiX17 Full 64 bit. It has 16gb of memory, running from an SSD and a 29gb swap partition on a separate hard drive that I was thinking it would hibernate to.

Perhaps the hibernate option was removed from the menus?

When I’m running off the battery it would be nice if it could hibernate before it runs out of power especially when sleeping unattended.

Any ideas?

Yes, removed during antiX17 betatesting due to multiple reports that it wasn’t working.

A week ago, someone reported Tips-n-Tricks }} topic: howto fix “Hibernate does not work” a fix for antiX16,
but AFAIK no one has yet tested/reported whether the fix works in antiX17.

sudo updatedb
locate desktop-session-exit.py

The reputed fix would be to edit desktop-session-exit.py and insert the following line (bolded, below)

self.build_button(ICONS+”/lock.svg”,”Lock Screen”,”desktop-session-exit -L”,”left”)
self.build_button(ICONS+”/hibernate.svg”,”Hibernate”,”desktop-session-exit -H”,”left”)
self.build_button(ICONS+”/upgrade.svg”,”Restart Session”,”desktop-session-exit -R”,”left”)

Please post back to report whether this works for your antiX17 system.

Thanks for the reply…

Yes, I had a look at it and there looked to be some confusion on the options, where -h was passed, but that was coded to put out a help screen, where -H was coded to hibernate. But the hibernate code is commented out as well, so I’ll give it a try changing it to what I think would have been intended.

I reprogrammed Ctrl+Shift+s to Suspend
key “Ctrl+Shift+s” dbus-send –system –print-reply –dest=”org.freedesktop.UPower” /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

and Ctrl+Shift+h to Hibernate
key “Ctrl+Shift+h” dbus-send –system –print-reply –dest=”org.freedesktop.UPower” /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate

The dbus-send suspend works great, but I was trying to find out what was wrong with the hibernate and why it was removed before trying it. I would guess if that worked, maybe the pm-suspend and pm-hibernate might work as well, but I’m just guessing…

I don’t recall the gory details. You can search MX Linux forum for “hibernate” to skim the problem reports (and recent successes) regarding hibernate across recent months.

I eventually found that I’m getting an I/O Error.

I looked my AntiX16 system and the code is there, but the setup is similar and hibernate doesn’t work there either. On that one its able to hibernate but can’t resume.

If my guess is correct, in addition to the code problems, the resume file is missing,fstab doesn’t have the right entries, and initramfs needs to be rebuilt, just based on what what I found in debian stretch loaded on the same system, so I’m changing things to be like debian and will try again.

Of course I don’t really don’t know, just guessing.

You need to edit files with simple text editor, like geany, not libreoffice writer. I didn’t find any complete example of the device being named in /dev/sdxy format, in my case /dev/sdb6, but that could possibly work. I wasn’t able to get it to work that way, but the problems might have been caused by me letting the default program libreoffice writer edit the grub file.

The resume file is missing…
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=UUID=e583126a-f180-4cf8-a663-9136fb858c52

Need resume in grub…
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”vga=791 gfxsave quiet acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Windows resume=UUID=e583126a-f180-4cf8-a663-9136fb858c52”
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=””

Need drives in fstab…
/etc/fstab

# bobc - file copied/modified from debian stretch

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=3021-2E43  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1

The swap space needs to be larger than memory and swap needs to be turned on.
Run:
sudo swapon -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub
