It's not coming from the config file because that isn't using the full path, and these echo commands are commented out anyway. I suspect one the modules hibernate calls is the culprit, possible the last one mentioned in the logs. If the hibernate package is al scripts, I don't use it myself, you could grep them to see what is calling /bin/echo and where it is redirecting the output. A missing device like this could be down to a missing kernel config item, or a module not loaded. -- Neil Bothwick I'm not a complete idiot - several parts are missing. pgpRbWj8KkthW.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I get the exact same diagnostic output as you. My interpretation is not about the existance of "/bin/echo". I wonder if a script says something like... /bin/echo "something" > /sys/fubar ...and /sys/fubar is missing. The error message is not helpful. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

FYI, $ ls -l /bin/echo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51256 May 5 11:58 /bin/echo* $ file /bin/echo /bin/echo: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, stripped $ qfile /bin/echo sys-apps/coreutils: /bin/echo echo is also a bash built in, but that wont be used since you're calling echo with the full path

One of the last few items on the laptop setup. I emerged hibernate and copied over the /etc/hibernate/ directory from my desktop. When I try to hibernate the laptop, I get...
