Hi, Fedora Workstation working group has been investigating the working state of hibernation (suspend to disk) for about four months, and has produced a draft status report on the findings so far. Present status, impediments to support, and importantly, the specifics of how to address those impediments, are described. This is a draft, to reflect on-going work in this area. It's intended to be short and consumable. Suggestions welcome. I include the synopsis below for better visibility and list search. https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/blob/master/f/hibernationstatus.md --- Synopsis: The Fedora Workstation working group recognizes hibernation can be useful, but due to impediments it's currently not practical to support it. This is a recognition of the current state of affairs, but the working group wishes hibernation could be relied upon, and thinks there is a viable approach for limited support of hibernation in the future. We encourage interested parties to pursue the needed improvements. In the meantime, given that hibernation isn't currently viable, the workstation WG decides that technical decisions will not be constrained by it. Decisions about Workstation's 'out of the box' configuration might conflict with the requirements of hibernation. There are desired enhancements to performance and security that are hindered by the status quo. The working group will re-evaluate when the significant impediments have been adequately addressed. We will support an install time means of enabling hibernation retained via Custom partitioning. If the user chooses to create a swap partition, the installer will include a resume=UUID kernel parameter hint so that the kernel can find the hibernation image. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
