It's desktop with an added Nvidia card.
in following your thread, there are a couple things that i wonder
about.
1- did problem start after an update or some other system change?
Most likely after an Nvidia driver update, but TBH I wasn't paying
attention.
2- why do you place fault with graphics card?
I place the problem with the graphics *driver* because when I switch
drivers it goes away, and when I switch them back it returns.
3- is swap partition of adequate size to hold running programs that
are using memory/disk space along with running system?
Yes. I enabled hibernation months ago and it worked up until fairly
recently (2 or 4 weeks roughly). Hence my conclusion that the Nvidia
drivers have something to do with it. Unfortunately Googling the issue
doesn't show up anything useful. If I kept notes of significant changes
(or could understand the systemd journal) I could probably pin it down,
but that's a big ask. I suspect many of us are in the same position.
As I said, I'm happy enough with suspend for now. My aim was to reduce
power consumption at night (this isn't a server that has to be on all
the time).
