Is the joke that hibernate and sleep states never seem to work right?
It was mostly because of Nvidia drivers. So many Linux issues is just Nvidia related.
Bs, I have had so many sleep issues on laptops without Nvidia graphics cards.
The most recent issue I had was something inhibiting sleep that I couldn't disable.
Before that it was being unable to decrypt the hibernate data on an encrypted disk.
Not bs just because you got lucky. :)
Do you mean unlucky?
No its an antimeme. The joke is that everybody gotta turn it on.
I still dont get it :(
Thatβs because itβs lame. Itβs not you.
It's lame in a funny way
No, itβs not. This isnβt anti jokes are funny now. People are really this bored I guess.
It's okay if you don't find it funny
I think this is making fun of the memes where it shows linux users going to (exaggerated) extremes to achieve something that is easy on Windows/other OS.
sleep and hibernate work fine on linux. I remember the olden days like 15 years ago where nothing of it worked. contrary to the stupid macos that was forced onto me which sleep means nothing and just keeps draining my bluetooth headphones battery anyway instead of turning off when I tell it to.
I still have issues on two separate machines. One won't hibernate sometimes, I suspect the nvidia card. The other has a new-ish ethernet card, which doesn't work after waking from hibernation (unless I reload the kernel module)
What's the point of hibernation? You have so much stuff open in some exact state you can't just turn off the computer?
It takes less time for me to boot fresh than to resume from hibernation (32GB of RAM)
Yes. I leave my laptop running in the office overnight, and at the end of the day I have a bunch of note documents, papers, code editors, and corresponding plots open and arranged among multiple monitors. It's extremely annoying to re-do this setup the next day, so I leave it running. If hibernation worked reliably, I could turn the machine off at the end of the day.
Yeah, I have another one that has a stupid nvidia card that crashes when trying to hibernate sometimes. But that's nvidia fault, it was not something I would buy, was also forced upon me by another work place. At least it's consistent since many times it just crashes on boot up too and needs to be forced reboot up to 10 times sometimes.
Nvidia should burn in hell.
Mine works
You'd still need to turn it on if it's in hibernate. Well, you might not need to push the power button, might have a laptop that can, while off, key off the lid switch. But the laptop's still off when it's hibernated.
my desktop and server get rebooted about once a month unless they get a new kernel or are pissing me off.
my laptop is dead about 50% of the time i turn it on.
dang, clicked respond on the wrong part of the thread, my b
