I guess my first question would be, why are you hibernating a
server?

All I can testify to is my own experience. I've seen Intel
CPU/GPU combinations fail to wake the display, but not since
Stretch started and possibly not for several years before that.
My wife's AMD cpu with an NVidia 1030 wakes properly.

It's a specific combination of motherboard, motherboard BIOS,

Unfortunately there are several such combinations, and new ones

CTRL+ALT+Fn still works on my debootstrap'ed Stretch Stable. F7, not

Hm. Interesting. I'll have to double-check when I'm back. The machine
I'm referring to (and I don't have access to) seems to allocate VC1
for the display manager and put X on VC2 or something. But that's from
memory. Next week I'll be wiser.

Sorry, still no advice, just empathy. I was re-reading the thread one
more time before deleting, and saw this. My video players, primarily
MPV and SMPlayer, started kicking mine into most likely hibernation at
the end of videos.

A week or so of that fail, and now at least SMPlayer does the same 5
minutes or so into a maybe 2 hour long video. Those have been
Hollywood type videos playing in the DVD drawer. In considering
causatives, I do acknowledge that overheating or similar may play a
rational part, by the way.

Anyway, in those cases, CTRL+ALT+Fn does NOT work for me, either. Only
a cold, hard reboot via the on/off hardware button on the PC computer
case puts things back into operation.

That's why I just did the latest debootstrap. Refresh, start over with
the hope that might instantly fix things. K/t current #Life
circumstances just outside my front door (plus degenerative memory
issues), I don't have time right now to fight it while trying to
diagnose.

Unfortunately haven't been able to test the new debootstrap theory
because there's a whole 'nother thread of a fail going on there, too.
It's not recognizing the correctly defined UUID at boot. *sig,
grinnn* :)

For what it's worth in the possibility that our video cards play a
sizable part in this thread's issue, I just pulled this from lspci:

VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)

Its fan... um.. "works", but the dogs have hit the case (hard) a few
times so things aren't running as optimal as they used to/should be.
Ahhh, #FurBabies. :)

CTRL+ALT+Fn still works on my debootstrap'ed Stretch Stable. F7, not
F1, is the [default/primary] go-to when one's done playing in the
others.

The debootstrap disclaimer is necessary because, at some point, the
chatter was about only being able to reboot as root via [terminal]
command line. As of about two debootstraps back, I still had to sudo
to reboot while others were saying they don't have to with some of the
more hefty installs.

It just occurred to me because I debootstrap'ed again a couple days
(so things are fresh in my mind). Would a quiet change in keyboard
layout configuration or compatibility prevent that combination from
working, maybe?

OR NOT. :)

You'll need to reboot. Ctrl-Alt-Del should work.

Hello

the Ctrl Alt F1 F2 does not seem to work.

This sort of thing has been fairly common over the years, and
the usual workaround is to add

chvt 2

to the hibernation script, which switches the video card out of
