Installing Manjaro and getting Hibernate

[NightBlade]

I’m once again back to using Manjaro. I recall running the USB installer at some point in the past, and it set everything up, and included settings for hibernate.

A couple of days ago, when I installed it, it didn’t include the configuration for hibernate. What do I need to do, to get the installer to set up hibernate automatically?

I suspect it’s something to do with partitions. In the past, the installer created multiple partitions, including the swap one. (How much free space do I need for the installer to do this?) Most recently, it just created one partition.

I’d prefer to reinstall, as I have a mostly-fresh install, rather than troubleshoot; because hibernate is not working right now…

You basically need 3 things: a swap partition or a file (larger than ram), a hook in mkinitcpio, and to add the the name of the file/partition to the boot line in grub.

This option in the installer…

will create a Swap File large enough for Hibernate to work.

Your other option is to use Manual partitioning, and create the EFI boot partition, the Root Partition (and Optionally a Home Partition), a Swap Partition large enough to Hibernate

It depends on your current knowledge and skill, as to which you choose.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.

It looks like it only shows up with the Erase Drive option, which doesn’t work for me (trying to dual boot).

I’ll try the manual option and hope it sets up correctly this time… cheers.
