Hello all! I've perused as much as I can, and while the subject may be here already I cannot find it.
I have two power saving related issues. 1, my installation will not stay in suspend mode and 2, I cannot seem to enable hibernate.
I had a previous installation using Kubuntu that I was able to resolve those issues on, but the buggy nature of that OS displeased me and so I am on Zorin which, for all intents and purposes is perfect except for this.
When I click on Suspend in my menu, or cause suspend using the CLI, the system will enter that mode then IMMEDIATELY with no input from me wake. It is a clean resume as if I had intended it, no ill effects.
Hibernate is not an option, and after following many guides to enable it, I am still unable to do so. The only thing I can see is that it is due to using BTRFS for the file system. I can get as far as configuring the hibernate file, but when attempting to activate it with the system, I am given an error along the lines of, invalid options. While I can create and attribute designate the file, I cannot get the OS to actually recognize it as the hibernate file.
So far I've had little success creating a partition. The file option works up till the point wherein I try to initialize it using swapon, then I am greeted with the message Invalid Arguement.
As for the rest, I'm running on a desktop, and have no extra software. The system should only resume when a button is pressed, mouse or otherwise. However it immediately restarts after entering sleep.
I'll try to expand the oddly sized 1 gigabyte swap partition that was auto created during install and see if I can use that. Problem is LOCATING it in Discs, even though I can see it using the command line utilities.
All mentioned issues were addressed, and after a few months of it functioning properly, now there's an issue on system resume (suspend still wasn't functioning properly, but hibernate was. and wasnt an input device causing problems, the second a mouse or keyboard was molested the system would resume from hibernate as does windows which never presented issues)
