Sudhir, What exactly did you try? Here are my notes (that work for me on all but one laptops): ## To get hibernate going (since F20): sudo vi /etc/defaults/grub ## add --> resume=UUID="****" <-- to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= (anywhere, i do it before the rhgb which I also take out since I like to see what is happening ## where the uuid is obtained using sudo blkid. ## then sudo bash -x grub2-mkconfig sudo bash -x grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Reboot and things work for me on about half a dozen machines, all Dells of varied vintage (including one XPS13) and one Thinkpad T510. I am not aware of the resume_offset flag: where did you get this? Ranjan PS: The one laptop where it did not work is a Dell Precision M3800 where it is not reliable. There was a long-standing bug in kernel which was fixed in 4.8 but with this machine, hibernate reliably worked on 4.8.4 but the unreliability (not always coming back, especially if a number of windows were left open) returned post-4.8.5, Many thanks again$ Ranjan On Mon, 02 Jan 2017 15:33:38 +0530 Sudhir Khanger <sudhir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi back, > > > > After a lot of Google search it seems to hibernate using swap file I need both the resume flag and resume_offset flag. After setting these my system seems to go into hibernation but doesn't recover. It just boots into a new session. Also systemctl hybrid-sleep is working as far as I can tell. > > > > ---- On Mon, 02 Jan 2017 11:52:16 +0530 Sudhir Khanger <sudhir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote ---- > > > > > Hi, > > > > I am setting up a new Dell Precision 5510.
