hibernation and suspend-to-ram
I didn't find enough information about hibernation and suspend-to-ram in 18.3.
So I ask you: are both active by default? How is it possible to manage them?
Can more or less swap usage influence the good working? I mean: is less swappiness a risk
(if for example it's 10 and not, as default, 60)?
Last, Nvidia proprietary drivers can make troubles?
thanx

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
For hibernation it is suggested your swap partition be at least equal to installed ram.
'Swappiness' should not make a difference here.
Both suspend and hibernate may be hardware dependent though--some configurations perform flawlessly--
others will require mitigations.
Post back your terminal results of inxi -Fxz for consideration

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
you have 8GB of RAM and 12GB of Swap space, so you are good to go. You can check to see if it's available for use, but your readout indicates it is.
As for the other questions, they don't really relate to swap use.

Is it set by default? Is it possible to stop it?
Is there anything in Setting or elsewhere?

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
Hi. With all due respect, it's going to be far easier for everyone if you describe the problem rather than asking questions about what you think the problem is.samiel60 wrote:Ok, bat in any case how is it possible to manage hibernation?

Cheers.

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
Suspend keeps it all in RAM and then it sleeps. Hibernate writes it to the drive and then shuts down.samiel60 wrote:In exit menu I read_

Can u indicate me a guide or a how-to
where it's possible to understand what is worthwhile when,
in choosing the first or the second alternative?

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
It's personal preference. Try each one, see which one you like the best. Suspend resumes faster usually. It's what I always use. I've gone as long as 121 days without a reboot.samiel60 wrote:Can u indicate me a guide or a how-to

121 days without a complete reinstall would be bragging rights using win

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
Suspend-to-RAM (Sleep) has the advantage of speed - especially resuming, which is practically instant. However, it does require some power & best to leave the PSU plugged in. It will eventually degrade the battery, especially if regularly left unplugged for long periods.
Suspend-to-disk (Hibernation) avoids this small additional battery wear but can take a while to fully restore the machine state, depending how much stuff you have running. It also requires sufficient swap.
As far as I know, both are enabled (available) by default on Mint installations.

Re: hibernation and suspend-to-ram
I have a PC with a Gigabyte Extreme MB with the last two kernel builds either going into hibernation hangs the system and going into suspend corrupts my BIOS and the MB has to reload it.
