How to enable hibernation in manjaro-xfce?

@the_beast48 Yes, using a swap file is not that easy for a newbie:

but when using a swap partition, it is pretty straight forward.

  1. Create a partition, format it as swap and activate it plus add it to fstab.
  2. For hibernation add:
resume=UUID=<place-UUID-of-swap-partition-here-without-"><">

to the kernel parameters at /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub on the terminal and add:

resume

to the HOOKS at /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and run sudo mkinitcpio -P.

Done. That are the basic steps. Now reboot and test it: systemctl hibernate
