Yes, it’s hardware related, and that’s nothing to worry about, there is
nothing to be done here.

You can see it in dmesg for instance:
PM: Preparing system for sleep (mem)
PM: Suspending system (mem)

I suppose mem is replaced with disk or something like that in case of
hibernation. But looking at the wiki[0], if you don’t know it’s unlikely
to be hibernation given the steps involved to make this one work.

Not sure how to know for sure, but see the wiki[1]. Apparently, XFCE
should properly inhibit systemd action. But this article says KDE does
too, however that’s not true for LidSwitch (at least it wasn’t last time
I tried). So you should check that, and also what settings you have in
XFCE power manager. One thing that might have happened is XFCE now
properly inhibiting systemd and not going to sleep on LidSwitch while
systemd was.

Hope it might help,
Bruno

Re: [arch-general] Hibernation not working

2017-01-02 Thread Neven Sajko via arch-general
Regarding the difference between hibernation (suspension to disk)
and suspension to RAM:
Suspension to RAM just means turning off peripherals like disk and
display while keeping the RAM on. Thus from your perspective you
should just see the screen go black (and hear the disk spin down,
if you use a HDD).

Hibernation, on the other hand, is saving the system state to disk
and powering off the device, so you should be able to see some
messages while powering down, and again during boot up you could
see bootloader, initramfs, and kernel messages. There should be a
message about the Resume mkinitcpio hook being activated, although
it may be gone too quickly for you too see it.

Happy New Year 2017!
