I’ve followed this guide https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s2-swap-creating-file.html

Whenever I try to hibernate as root or as a non-root user, I get

Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation

and when I analyze systemd-logind, I see the error

Failed to open swap file /swapfile to determine on-disk offset: Permission denied

Hi @darkshadow, welcome to the community! Please take a minute to go through the introductory posts in the #start-here category if you’ve not had a chance yet. They explain how to use the forum effectively.

Please use the #english:using-fedora-english or #english:upgrading-a-fedora-installation categories for troubleshooting. The community category is for community related discussions. I’ve moved your topic to the correct category now.

I thought of searching the error using google and found this https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/hibernation-only-triggers-lockscreen-with-swapfile-likely-selinux-problem/67319/6

Anyone facing permission issues should use this guide https://fedoramagazine.org/troubleshooting-selinux/

I was able to solve this problem using the above guide.
