Description Fab Stz 2024-11-21 17:52:59 UTC

SUMMARY

My system requires to enter hibernation with "/sys/power/disk" set to shutdown, otherwise resume of hibernation fails.

I configured systemd to have "HibernateMode=shutdown" (in /etc/systemd/sleep.conf.d/sleep.conf)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE / OBSERVED RESULT

If I run systemctl hibernate, value in "/sys/power/disk" is set to shutdown automatically
If I click on "hibernate" in the KDE/Plasma menu, the value in "/sys/power/disk" is never updated.

EXPECTED RESULT

Given that on a clear boot the value defaults to "platform" for the kernel (instead of shutdown, which I required) and that the value is not set correctly by powerdevil, I think there is either a bug, or there is no way to configure powerdevil a way to set the desired value for "/sys/power/disk"

I have some doubts on what I reported because it fails in other cases on my system.
Does kde always make a call that is equivalent to systemctl hibernate?

Thanks for the bug report. I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet. There have been many fixes and improvements since this was reported, and this issue may have been fixed.

Can you please re-test on your system with Plasma 6.3.5 or later and let us know if you can still reproduce the problem? If you can, please set this back to REPORTED. Thanks!

Will check when Debian Trixie is released

Comment 5 Kai Uwe Broulik 2025-06-13 06:04:14 UTC

Wonder if this is an issue in Logind. Plasma merely calls Hibernate on the Logind dbus interface.
