yea. Voidlinux, I hibernated with “ZZZ”, now managed to boot to it from grub from another distro butt none of the services work I think and I can’t start a DE or start xorg or whatever. I tried removing the swap or turning it off ot whatrver and after I did swapoff it did seem to go away but then I had the samr problem and when I booted the same way the swap partition was on.
should i delete the swap partition and make another one later or…? pls help thanks a lot!
I don’t know Voidlinux but am curious, what GPU are you using? And is your Linux DE using Wayland or X? Nvidia GPU drivers are notorious for having issues with suspend/hibernate/resume. If it’s Nvidia you could try tinkering with enabling/disabling the driver options or the suspend/hibernate/resume services.
These should give you some hints:

Unfortunately I don’t know what you’d do exactly to recover from a failed hibernate - the thing with hibernate is that the RAM of the running OS was saved to disk so even turning it off completely isn’t going to solve that, the whole point of hibernate is to be able to power off completely after all. When you get your system back up you should do some light testing with standby, not hibernate, just to see if there’s issues. Or do what I do and never standby/hibernate :P
I’ve found similar issues with NVidia cards.
A probable cause is bootloader/initrd issues since these need extra initrd support when booting, and a couple of things can go wrong in updates. You could try to chroot into the system and reinstall the kernel, initrd, and graphics driver.
Oh, and hibernate doesn’t work with dual-booting Linux distros (it does not leave file systems unmounted), and although grub was once designed to dual- and multiboot distros, dual-booting is problematic today… I think some (graphics?) driver stuff can get put into the EFI partition where grub updates can step on other distro’s feet.
