I already know that in Linux systems systemctl hibernate
will not allow hibernation if there is not enough swap space for hibernation. But in my case the swap space was set to 32 GiB while the RAM installed was 8 GiB. This error was given when the swap space was not used at all. I want to know why this error is occuring and how can I solve this problem. If it helps, this error occured on Kali Linux (kernel x86_64 Linux 5.3.0-kali3-amd64
). (I am sorry if this question appears too 'novice like' for a Kali Linux user)
Here is a sample output:
# systemctl hibernate
Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation
# free

Mem: 8135920 1226892 5975908 254980 933120 6398272

# swapon

can you show the output of
cat /proc/swaps
