Earlier this week I switched my laptop OS from Windows 11 to Fedora 43 KDE Plasma and have been having some issues with hibernate. Not long after I installed Fedora I discovered that hibernate wasn’t enabled, this was due to going to use my laptop the next day and finding it dead after being put to sleep the night before assuming it would end up hibernating. After doing some research I discovered that it wasn’t enabled and after trying a few methods I managed to do so. The method that ended up working for me was the one in this article Update on hibernation in Fedora Workstation. I then tried hibernate out only for my laptop to not save the state of my computer before it hibernated and thus a fresh boot occurred.
As recommended by the article I ran the boot process then used journalctl -b to see the output, which I saved in the following text document. As I have no idea of what I should be looking for could someone please help find what is causing this issue so I can hopefully fix it.
The Journal provides massive levels of detail. The article says to look for error messages, which you get by adding -p err to the command. You are much more likely to get help if you can post only relevant journal entries as web-searchable pre-formatted text.
Thanks for the advice, as someone who is just getting into Linux I am quite new at all of this and as such didn’t know about those arguments. As it’s approaching midnight where I am I’ll try again tomorrow using those arguments and post an updated file.
I’ve rerun the command using those arguments and here’s the output:
Jan 09 16:40:47 fedora systemd[1]: Failed to start systemd-vconsole-setup.service - Virtual Console Setup.
Jan 09 16:40:47 fedora systemd-vconsole-setup[326]: /usr/bin/loadkeys failed with exit status 1.
Jan 09 16:40:47 fedora systemd-vconsole-setup[456]: /usr/bin/loadkeys failed with exit status 1.

Jan 09 16:41:07 fedora bluetoothd[1031]: Failed to set mode: Failed (0x03)
As the errors didn’t seem to indicate anything causing my laptops state from being saved I ran the commands in the reverting changes section in the article that I used above and reran the original commands, in case I’d accidentally missed a command. Now having done that hibernate is working for me
