Hi,
I understand that Fedora has gone the way of my hated linux distribution (Ubuntu) in
actively disconnecting hibernate in a very disappointing distribution, but I still think
that someone may know what to do so I thought that I would post this here and get
suggestions and advice.
I have set up, after installation, hibernate with F24 using the techniques that are now
required since the days of F22 (or so). Here is what I did:
1. In /etc/default/grub
add --> resume=UUID="****" <-- to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=
where the uuid is obtained using blkid.
then I do the following:
2. sudo bash -x grub2-mkconfig
3. sudo bash -x grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and after rebooting, hibernate works.
However, of late, since F24, I have been having this problem that the laptop comes back
from hibernate but the nm-applet does not. Basically, what happens is that the nm-applet
has the disconnected symbol. The network does work (at the location it was working from
when the laptop was hibernated). It will not work in a new location simply because
nm-applet does not have the ability to provide me with a list of new possibly connections.
I have not tried this part with ethernet but I suspect that the general idea would be
similar.
The only way I can get back to using nm-applet to provide me with Wifi connections (beyond
the one to which it has been connected) is by killing and restarting nm-applet. The
process has to be repeated for every hibernate.
So, what should I be doing to avoid having to kill and restart my nm-applet? Is this a bug
somewhere (some hook not being turned on, as used to happen with suspend in the bad old
days of early Fedora) and if so, where should I file it (under what component in BZ)?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
PS: As an aside, one of the parameters in: /etc/default/grub, I have
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" -- I also tried with
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="false" but there was no visible effect. I am not
completely sure what this parameter does because it seems to give me the same result
irrespective of whether or not it is set to "true".
Best wishes,
Ranjan
