I tried two methods to enable hibernation. First method was invoking systemctl hibernateunder root. The second was to use Frippery Shut Down Menu.In both cases the system will eventually show me a black screen with some error message and it does not hibernate. I have the latest updates installed. I believe this is a bug. How can I make hibernation work under Fedora 19?
Howto make hibernation work under Fedora 19
fedora;hibernate
You may find that hibernation is not enabled by default in fedora's grub.cfg and/or fstab.You need to have a large enough swap partition and an entry for it in /etc/fstab.e.g.UUID=da673383-0c15-4b6c-9eab-0d7e425b7d05 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0And you need to set the resume option for linux through grub. I did that by adding resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/da673383-0c15-4b6c-9eab-0d7e425b7d05 to /etc/defaults/grube.g.GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=rhgb quiet acpi_osi=linux resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/da673383-0c15-4b6c-9eab-0d7e425b7d05You then need to rebuild grub. I use efi, so to do it I ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg. You will need to change the -o option if your grub.cfg lives elsewhere in /boot.Answer found on ORDINATECHNIC.
