Some time ago, i wrote a
post in greek of how easy is to use hibernation on linux desktops.
For some time now, i didnt use hibernation and in between i upgrade my laptop a lot of times.
For some strange reason the previous tested (kernel) solution didnt work perfectly.
So i just implement the second hibernation solution: uswsusp
This method provides a userspace suspend program that uses a lot of
scripts to hook your running modules, programs and memory data to a swap partition.
Simple as that in theory, i did small changes on my laptop.
- Installation
sudo pacman -S uswsusp- Kernel HOOKS
Change the resume kernel hook from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
to uresume (userspace resume)
HOOKS=”base udev autodetect pata scsi sata uresume filesystems”
Save the above file and then run this command:
mkinitcpio -p kernel26- Configuration
Edit /etc/suspend.conf, so that the resume device is linking to your swap partition:
resume device = /dev/sda2
sda2 is my swap partition, just add your swap partition!
- Hibernate
sudo pm-hibernationPS: I read in a lot of HowTos that you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
to add resume path of swap partition, but believe me, thats not necessary!

Very interesting, useful and easy (4 steps). I’m curious though about the strange reason that led you to do this hack.
