[opensuse] unable to shutdown machine: does not shut down but resumes immediately
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/15862dafa5c74a16525bed7089dfe696.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'd like to shutdown my machine and use the suspend fascility so that my machine restarts faster and continues where I was before shutting down my machine. However, when I click the cameleon-icon, and then choose Leave (opening the choises Shutdown, Restart, Suspend to Disk and Suspend to Ram) and subsequently "Suspend to Disk". This only gives me a short message like "preparing to hibernate", and then immediately restarts like nothing happened. I would like to shutdown the machine, however. Lines I added to /etc/suspend.conf: HIBERNATE_MODE=shutdown shutdown method=platform One line I modified in /etc/pm/config: HIBERNATE_METHOD={userspace,kernel} but this did not improve the shutdown at all: the machine briefly shows "preparing to hybernate", goes black, and does not shut down but shows resuming . . . and restarts where it was. Is it not possible to suspend for a shutdown, and restart the next day?

Suspend to Disk is not fully debugged. Be patient.
and restarts where it was. Is it not possible to suspend for a shutdown, and restart the next day?
Personally, I just leave my laptop running all day every day, unless there's a specific reason to shut down.

I don't have that variable, but shuting down is not hybernating.
One line I modified in /etc/pm/config: HIBERNATE_METHOD={userspace,kernel}
It is either "userspace" or "kernel", not both. I have it empty.

Yes, I use it often. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
