This is weird. A few days ago I found that my desktop system (F23
fully updated) would no longer hibernate. A glance at "journal -xe"
showed a bunch of lines like:

This is still happening to me, so as no-one has responded I reported
it

this, as they've been going on for months):

Just for the record, it turned out to be insufficient swap. My system
has 16GB of RAM and Chrome was eating about 5GB.
Now if only there was some way the system could have told me that, say
an error log where useful messages would appear rather than a lot of
cryptic text that boils down to "something failed" ...
Geeze! We should have noticed that it was "hibernation". Yeah, that
writes the entire RAM out to swap. Insufficient swap will sure cause
hibernation to not work.
I guess the old saw about "make swap twice your RAM size" still holds
true. I still set my systems to do it, but I'm an old, stick-in-the-mud,
crusty and cranky curmudgeon.
