Thanks for the reply.
I am embarrassed to admit it, but I have no idea how to get a console.
That's
why I put the command in the reply.
Control-Alt-F3 through Control-Alt-F6, you press this sequence while in
the GUI, and it switches to a virtual console. There, you log in and
run the above command,
shutdown -P now
That said, I think you have misinterpreted my problem. It's not
that I
can't hibernate, its that I'm getting hibernation when I don't ask for
it.
Right, but if you run the above command in a console, it will print out
the shutdown messages, and they will end with something like
systemd poweroff reached power off
and, at least here, then the system powers down.
That will tell you whether fedora is requesting powering off, and the
laptop isn't heeding the command, or if it isn't present, tells you
that fedora isn't honoring the request to power off.
