       Took time yesterday to get hibernate working on my encrypted laptop running #opensuse and I feel vastly better for making the effort.Leaving my laptop plugged in for months at a stretch just to avoid losing my desktop setup was getting real annoying and wearing on my battery.Only took over two years to get fed up with suspend-only.

       @paladin1 Interesting. I've had no problem with suspending my Thinkpad for long periods, but one of the locking tabs on the battery has broken, so it has a nasty tendency to shut off unexpectedly. I really need a new battery!

       @publius I never had a problem with suspend either. It's hibernate that's given me problems (where the laptop saves RAM to swap and then shuts down, to restore on next boot up). Part of it is my own doing with an encrypted swap, but the other part was some key configuration pieces missing in the default #opensuse setup. And I didn't want to keep wearing out my battery by leaving it plugged in!
