Hi!
Upon clikcing on "Log Out..." I am presented with various choices. I am
confused which one correpsonds to hibernate (suspend to disk). Is it
"Freeze Computer" or "Suspend Computer"? What I need is the memory to
be
written to the swap partition of the disk and power turned off. In other
words, which one of these calls `systemctl hibernate`, or is a different
mechanism used?
I had to fiddle with /etc/systemd/sleep.conf and add:
HibernateMode=shutdown
to make hibernation work correctly. Suspend to RAM (often also called
"Sleep") makes the laptop hang, so I need to avoid it (unless I find a
fix).
Thanks!

Ciao Gianluca,
if you are using R14.1.0-dev, there are up to 4 possible buttons, depending on what is
supported by your system.
- freeze
- suspend ==> suspend to RAM
- hibernate ==> suspend to disk
- hybryd suspend ==> suspend to RAM+disk
Cheers

Ciao Michele,
I'm using R14.0.10 and it's interesting I do see the hibernate option now.
I tried it out and it works. I do not see "hybryd suspend".
Do you please mind explaining the difference between "freeze" and "suspend
to RAM"? I understand this question is a bit outside a DE development.
I also wonder how come you no longer see a nice slpash screen during
hibernating and resuming as you did in the past. Now it's just a black
screen with a blinking cursor at the top.
Thanks,
Gianluca

This means, I do not really need to worry whether my system really

little risk that it makes the system hang?

Ciao Gianluca,
yes, that kernel doc page is a good reference, I would have pointed you there anyway.
Hybryd suspend is available in R14.1.0-dev and if I remember correctly it is not available
in the R14.0.x series. Also,
hardware support is required for that.
Re freeze: is a lighter form compare to suspend-to-RAM and meant to be quicker to go back
to a working state. I have
seen system hanging with freeze, though. So give it a go, see how it goes and use it/avoid
it depending on the outcoume
of the test.
Re the logo after coming up from hibernate, it is likely to be related to the
kernel/kernel config you are using since
the OS is not operating till the resume from hibernate is completed.

Ciao Michele,
I tried it out. Both "Freeze" and "Suspend" work! It rocks!
I have another question, also tangential to TDE. I am still using the default SDDM that
openSUSE Leap 15.2 came with as
the login display manager. It has no "Hibernate" button, but it has a
"Sleep" button. Any idea whether this corresponds
to Suspend (to RAM) or Hibernate? Last time I tried it out it made my laptop hang but
that's before I fixed the problems
with Hibernate (had to switch from "platform" to "shutdown"), so it
makes me think that "Sleep" in SDDM is actually
Hibernate (or something obscure). But this is irrelevant to everyday use since I normally
just hibernate from TDE.
I also noticed an interesting fact about "Freeze". If you logged in remotely
into the laptop and you put it into the
"Freeze" state, your login shell is also "frozen" but comes back up
immediately as soon as the laptop resumes and it
even "remembered" that I had pressed the ENTER key.
Best,
Gianluca
Ciao Giunluca,
I don't use openSUSE so I don't have an answer about the "Sleep" button.
Simplest way is to just give it a go and see
what happens, you will quickly know whether it will hibernate or suspend to RAM.
Cheers
Michele
