I cannot figure out why hibernation is bugging me

UPDATE: I figured out what I did wrong. please see my post below.


This isn’t working properly on my system for some reason. Steps 2 and 3 weren’t needed because I do not have any Hibernate options under my KDE Power Settings, and for Grub I have no resume parameter, nor any resume hooks under mkinitcpio.conf.

Even with Step 1 complete and doing a full system reboot, the following command will still power off my computer:
sudo systemctl hibernate

It does not error with “Failed to hibernate system”.

Another thing to note is that the Hibernate button still appears on my Kickoff Menu and session options. (Clicking it will do the same thing as the above systemctl command.)


Here is my system information, using the proprietary nvidia driver:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.23-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 6 × Intel® Core™ i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 11.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2

What’s the output of

grep --ignore-case hibernat --recursive /etc/systemd/*sleep*

Apologies, and I figured it out. So in case anyone is wondering, in Step 1 I misspelled the directory names when creating the folders. :rofl: Apparently, simply ending the folder name with *.conf.d is not sufficient, it has to match perfectly as sleep.conf.d and login.conf.d

It’s working now! :+1:
