I should perhaps have mentioned that hibernation was working (almost)
perfectly up until a couple of kernel updates ago. I say "almost"
because Bluetooth sometimes recovers and sometimes doesn't, but the
same happens with suspend/resume so I don't think that's relevant.
I compared my current /etc/default/grub file with the oldest backup I
have, dated some time in June, and they are identical. In any case,
this is what's in it:
$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 $([ -x
/usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rhgb quiet
resume=UUID=1431e6d2-531e-46cd-8633-1cf878c6b2a1"
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"
I note that the last line has "true" instead of "false", so maybe it
shouldn't have worked before and now is failing correctly ...
Same here: jd1008 appears to not have followed the thread, but yes, I (and others
discussing this) have all this done but hibernate (sometimes, quite frequently now) fails.
The fact that it goes in and comes back sometimes should indicate that this is set
correctly. Btw, the last line has no effect because it does not work (yet) and is ignored:
it is a bug somewhere on BZ.
