Stuck on splash screen after hibernation

Update:

It looks like it’s a firmware related issue. I’ve followed the hibernation debugging docs and at the point 1.c resume is working fine without firmware interactions.

Hi,
For the last few days I was fighting with the hibernation feature and it seems like I can’t manage to do it myself so I decided to open this thread. I was doing everything with the documentation. I am relatively new to the Linux OS and maybe I am doing somewhere a trivial mistake and you can help me.

I am using the optimus-switch-sddm in order to have the ability to switch GPU, TLP for power management and cpupower in order to limit cpu frequencies causing thermal throttling.

I edited /etc/default/grub to add kernel parameters so it looks like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet apparmor=1 security=apparmor udev.log_priority=3 resume=UUID=1d749f9d-e9d4-4923-8e53-04be44e98eef resume_offset=2887680"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="reboot=acpi"

I also edited my /etc/fstab file after creating swap file

UUID=74F3-AA9F                            /boot/efi      vfat    umask=0077 0 2

/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

and I edited HOOKS in my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file

HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems resume"

After all I did

  • sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  • sudo update-grub
  • sudo mkinitcpio -p linux59
  • reboot

Then I’ve hibernated the system, waited until the laptop will power off completely, and booted up again.
Now I’m stuck on this splash screen and the only way to boot into the system is by power off and booting up again.

Any ideas?

Hey,

Easy possible solution: install and run package ‘hibernator’:

$ sudo pacman -S hibernator
$ sudo hibernator

It will detect any existing swap configuration and add possibly missing parameters/steps.

If that didn’t work, take a look at Power management/Suspend and hibernate - ArchWiki

Thank you for your response, but I’ve already tried it and as it only automates the steps I described above it doesn’t help. I was doing everything with documentation and also followed the hibernation and suspend debugging docs and eventually, I’ve found out that the problem is my firmware that I can’t fix myself.
